Cubans in 2023 Flocking to US

 

     In January of 2023 poor little Cuba has entered the 61st year of the U. S. economic EMBARGO, which began in 1962 right after the 1961 U. S. Bay of Pigs military attack failed to overthrow the Cuban Revolution, which in January of 1959 had succeeded in overthrowing the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship.
     Now fast-forward to today -- January 11th, 2023 -- and above are the Top 4 Cuban headlines flashing around the world. As you can see, the U. S. embargo against Cuba hasn't yet overthrown Revolutionary Cuba but, as has been the case for the past 61 years, it continues to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island, apparently to please some rich and powerful Cubans in Miami.
    On January 11th of 2023 The Guardian, based in London, is {as shown above} informing the world that "the US embassy in Havana has lain silent in the withering Caribbean sun..." But, with hundreds of thousands of Cubans now desperately trying to cross the Caribbean Sea or the Rio Grande River to get to the United States, lo 'n behold, the U. S. embassy in Havana has, uh...partially reopened, apparently because Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami feel a little overwhelmed.
    As the Associated Press article shown above reports, the vast influx of Cubans from Cuba is "stretching thin U. S. border agencies both on land and sea." WOW!! In other words, the embargo is working well...except when offshoots such as overwhelming immigration "overwhelm" some rich and politically powerful Americans.
     As the AP reminds us in the first sentence above: "Because the U. S. and Cuba do not have formal diplomatic relations, the American government has no way to repatriate them." {Meaning so many Cubans flocking to the U. S. simply stay}.
     Meanwhile, back in Cuba, the U. S. embargo/blockade continues to work wonderfully...creating energy blackouts and food shortages that are designed to induce the Cubans to overthrow their revolutionary government but instead, after 61 years, is designing offshoots such as mass immigration that obviously irks some important and rich citizens in the U. S.
       Does six decades of a powerful nation economically blockading the people in a much smaller nation constitute GENOCIDIO??????
