"Some Cubans fear their island could become a new front for Russia-NATO Confrontations." The glaring headline above in June of 2023 links the Embargoe/Blockaded island nation of Cuba with the USA's enemy Russia, echoing memories when Cuba's link with Russia/Soviet Union led, for 14 days in October of 1962, to the closest the world has ever come to a nuclear war. The photo above, buttressing the above headline, shows Russia's well-known Foreign Minister meeting in Havana's two top leaders, President Miguel and revolutinary icon Raul Castro. The implication in June of 2023 of both the headline and the photo implies that Russia, mired in a bloody war with Ukraine, needs to beef up its friends...especially Cuba that is located just south of the United States and happens to be in a survival mode against the devastating U. S. Embargo/Blockade that has existed for an amazing 6+ decades, since 1962. To combat the USA's extreme Embargo of Cuba, Russia supposedly is offering vital oil and other financial lures to Cuba during these troubled times??
If Russia, a supreme nuclear power, is not the USA's top foreign threat than surely China, an ultra economic and military power, is!! So in June of 2023, while the U. S. is strongly engaged supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia, the USA is also direly concerned with having to support Taiwan in what many experts believe will be an all-out military attack by China against Taiwan. Wow!! In that vastly dangerous milieu, the mighty New York Times blares the above headline: "China to Build Station That Could Spy on U. S. from Cuba, Officials Say." Wow!!
The massive New York Times article {shown above} linking China's efforts to woo Cuba while the U. S. and the world is worried about a hot war between Russia & Ukraine even as another hot war between China & Taiwan appears to also loom on the horizon seems to thrust little Cuba into an awkward position of becoming a catalyst in the looming threats of a possible nuclear holocaust?? In June of 2023 do the new headlines imply that both Russia and China are both wooing Cuba in their dire anti-U.S. crusades?? And, if so -- while the U. S. surely doesn't want nuclear wars with Russia or China -- are some people looking for fresh excuses for the U. S. to attack little non-nuclear Cuba??
In June of 2023, while Russia and China appear to be making new efforts to woo Cuba as both nuclear powers appear to be heating up disputes with the United States, are revolutionary Cuba's top enemies in nearby Miami eyeing the vulnerable island as ripe for the taking if the United States views Cuba as a dire threat as it supposedly was back in October of 1962?? For Sure, since 1959's victorious Cuban Revolution, powerful forces have sought excuses for the United States to use an all-out military attack to overthrow the Cuban Revolution. Is that what the new June-2023 headlines that link Cuba with Russia and China are all about??
Since January of 1959 the U. S. has engaged in all-out efforts to overthrow Revolutuonary Cuba, including: The air-land-sea Bay of Pigs military attack in April of 1961; the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 that remains to this day the closest the world has ever come to a nuclear holocaust; and since 1962 the U. S. Economic Embargo Against Cuba has long ago become the cruelest and longest blockade ever imposed by any powerful nation against any much smaller nation. Yet...the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba has not happened, at least as of June 10th of 2023. But...the top Cuban Headlines on June 10th of 2023 portend ongoing excuses seem to be designed to create the new excuses for overthrowing Revolutionary Cuba.
The Cuban Headlines on June 10th of 2023, shown above, all scream for the need for the United States to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba in June of 2023 "because" Cuba is being newly courted by both Russia and China, the two most powerful and most warlike enemies of the United States.
The 1950s were the last time Cuba and the United States were "Good Friends." That was when the U. S. government, along with the Mafia and rich U. S. businessmen, supported the vile Batista dictatorship on the nearby island. That gruesome situtation created the historic Cuban Revolution.
The triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1st of 1959 spawned Little Havana USA in the heart of nearby Miami, Florida. Thus from January of 1959 till June of 2023 Little Havana's inability to recapture Havana has vastly enriched and empowered Little Havana while starving and weakening Havana. Yet, after all of these many decades, on June 10th of 2023 headlines continue to scream reasons for recapturing Havana, such as:
Of course, the two best reasons on June 10th of 2023 for overthrowing Revolutionary Cuba are allegations that Cuba, being starved by the U. S. Embargo, will accept help from both Russia and China...the two nuclear powers thousands of miles from Cuba while the nuclear power next to Cuba, the United States, remains the powerful nation that Cuba actually needs and desires as its most important friend and most important trade partner.
Today -- on June 10th of 2023 -- the two images above were taken from a national television Newscast in Cuba. It shows that today Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel is meeting a new friend named Gustavo Petro, the new President of Colombia. Yes, in recent days both Russia and China have sent key officials to Havana to court Cuba in their deepening troubles with the United States regarding Ukraine and Taiwan. But Diaz-Canel expressed to Petro today this sentiment: "Cuba needs friendships with regional countries, such as Colombia and the United States. As you know, Mister President, Cuba is Colombia's friend and Cuba is trying hard to be friends with all other regional governments. That improves us and it improves them too."
