Starving Cubans In June of 2023

 Is China JustTrying to Help?

Or Is China/Russia EXPLOITING the Dire Situation?

      In mid-June of 2023 headlines in the U. S. and around the world are reporting that Cubans in Cuba are starving due to the vast U. S. Economic EMBARGO-Blockade that began way back in 1962 when its purpose was to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. Today -- on June 14th-2023 -- above is the Headline and Sub-Headline being flashed around the world after being published today by two prime U. S. media sources -- NBC News and Telemundo News. Of course, while the starvations in Cuba continue unabated, most headlines related to Cuba refer to the fact that Counter Revolutionary factions are stressing something else -- namely that China has a spy base in Cuba that presumably will doom the USA unless the USA...uh...does something about it!!
     The aforementioned NBC News/Telemundo News Headline and Sub-Headline was illustrated by this photo from Adalberto Roque/AFP/Getty Images. The photo above shows Cubans trying to keep from starving by waiting in line to purchase some food being sold or given away from the back of a truck.
    This photo, every bit as important as the two top photos above, was taken in Havana today -- June 14th-2023 -- and it shows a ceremony in which Cuban schoolgirls and their parents/grandparents are being told that they will survive calamities such as the U. S. Embargo, which started in 1962 and since has been maintained or expanded by the Democratic and Republican administrations in the U. S. who apparently benefit from it. Benefit from it? Study the facial expression of the Cuban schoolgirl today who is directly looking into the camera. Then ask yourself two questions: {1} Is she an enemy of the U. S.? and {2} does she, along with her parents and grandparents, deserve to live their lives in the throes of the U. S. Embargo?
    The U. S. Embargo against Cuba has harmed every schoolgirl in Cuba since 1962 while also, in the eyes of most of the world, shames the images of the U. S. and Democracy. But for over six decades it has existed...with no end on the horizon.
    For the record, above are the first three paragraphs of the long article today -- on June 14th-2023 -- that is flashing around the world courtesy of NBC News and Telemundo News. The article informs the world that many Cubans are "fleeing misery and hunger" as they are flocking to the U. S., but what about the 11 million Cubans they leave behind on the island? Yes, the prime question perhaps is who benefits from this situation and WHY is no one ever held accountable for the disastrous Embargo?
