Now That Brazil Has A New President!!
Since the Cuban Revolution in 1959 replaced the Batista/Mafia/U.S. rule in Cuba, the Caribbean's largest island-nation has seriously had just one mortal enemy, but that massive foe was/is its northern neighbor that happens to be the United States, the strongest and richest nation in the world. All of Cuba's Latin America neighbors have been strong or passive supporters of Cuba, except when pressured to be otherwise. The largest and richest Latin America nation, Brazil, has always been vital to Revolutionary Cuba's mere survival. And that prospect resounds with some very positive news on that front in AUGUST of 2023 as reported worldwide by the London-based Reuters News Agency.
The Reuters News Agency in AUGUST OF 2023, as shown above, confirms that Cuba and Brazil have "restored trade and political ties." This is vital to Cuba, which in August of 2023 is reeling from the drastic effects of the six-decade-old U. S. economic Blockade of the island nation.
Photos like this one are probably the most important that will make the news pertaining to the island of Cuba in all of 2023!! Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Brazil's President Lulu da Silva are dear friends. The Brazilian president that Lulu replaced was Jair Bolsonara, who was an extreme right-wing disciple of former U. S. President Donald Trump who put Cuba on the U.S.'s Sponsor of Terrorism list that Trump and Bolsonara believed would fianlly starve Cuba into total submission. So in August of 2023 the best possible news for Cuba is the transition in Brazil from the Bolsonara presidency to the current Lulu presidency. For four former presidential terms in Brazil Lulu and his hand-picked successor Dilma Rousseff were Cuba's dearest and most important friends...but when Jair Bolsonara became President Lulu spent a long stretch in a Brazilian prison before getting out and then beating Bolsonara in the last presidential election in Brazil!!
For sure...as a political power in Brazil Lulu da Silva adolized and adored Fidel Castro's Cuba Revolution.
Now in AUGUST of 2023 Cuba's current President Miguel Diaz-Canel has Brazil's current President Lulu da Silva as his and Cuba's best friend. It is, FOR SURE, a drastic turn-of-events for Cuba considering that Lulu emerged from a Brazilian prison only to be amazingly re-elected as President of Brazil, upsetting Bolsonara.
Prior to Bolsonara, Lulu da Silva and his top aide Delma Rousseff had won four consecutive 4-year presidential terms in Brazil.
As Brazil's President for two terms from 2003 till 2011, Lulu da Silva's hand-picked successor Dilma Rousseff then won the next two presidential elections and Dilma loved Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution as much as Lulu did. But then Dilma's second 4-year term as President was truncated by fraud charges that chased her from office and ended up putting Lulu in prison during the anti-Cuba/Trump-loving Jair Bolsonara presidency...till Lulu emerged from prison and defeated Bolsonara in the election in 2022 that restored Lulu to his current 3rd term as President of Brazil, which started on January 1st, 2023.
Yes, in this year of 2023 the Cuba-loving Lulu da Silva has replaced the Cuba-hating Jair Bolsonara as the President of Brazil. That, of course, is a vital development for Cuba as the island tries desperately to survive the tightened U. S. Embargo of Cuba that began in 1962, over six decades ago!!
The largest, most populated, and richest nation in Latin America is Brazil. The difference in Lulu da Silva, a lover of Cuba, returning as the President of Brazil in 2023 is vital to Cuba, especially since he replaces Jair Bolsonara who had supported Trump's and the USA's drastic policies against Cuba.
