UN Today Hears About US Blockade of Cuba

 September 18th of 2023

     This was Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel arrving at the United Nations today in New York City.

    Today -- September 18th, 2023 -- in New York City the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, let the U. S. and the world listen to what he thinks of the U. S. economic Blockade of Cuba that started in 1962 and has been STRENGTHENED by the last two U. S. administrations led by Presidents Trump and Biden.

   At the UN in NY today the theme "No More Blockade" resonated around the podiums and hallways.

    After his calm but scathing "No Blockade" speech at the UN podium today, President Diaz-Canel was surrounded by journalists out in the hallways. In the past two weeks -- at first the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and the G77+China Summit in Havana, more than half of the nations in the world loudly and lavishly denounced the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba. Today in New York Diaz-Canel was asked, "At the BRICS Summit in South Africa, Mia Mottley -- the Prime Minister of Barbados -- called the U. S. blockade of Cuba 'callous and brutal." And Diaz-Canel replied, "Those words Callous and brutal, I have found this year, is what I have found is what the entire world, except for the U. S., thinks of the blockade of Cuba. Now I suggest you ask the United States why it has existed since 1962, targeting three generations of innocent Cubans families." 

Cuba at the United Nations TODAY.

     Showing dire concern for how much the U. S. blockade of Cuba has hurt "Cuban Women," the top leader of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, in the past two weeks at the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and at the G77+China Summit in Havana, Antonio Guterres also expressed the same sentiment, agreeing with the leaders who called the blockade "callous and brutal," especially for generations of Cuban women and children.

    The historic photos above taken in 1979, 1995, and 2000 show that Fidel Castro regularly blistered the U. S. blockade of Cuba with his scathing speeches at the United Nations in New York. Before Fidel Castro died peacefully at age 90 in Havana in 2016, of course, the U. S. supporters of the blockade have told the American people that the people in Cuba hated their revolutionary leader and that the endless blockade is intended to "help everyday Cuban families." Of course, back in the 1950s during the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship, most Cubans fiercely loved Fidel Castro and in Septermber of 2023 they still fiercely love his legacy...while hating the blockade, of course.

    As the U. S. has done since 1962, the United States today has denied that this seminal and definitive image of the Embargo/Blockade provokes a bad worldwide image of the United States and Democracy. It seems that...the rest of the world disagrees with the United States when it claims that this is a nice IMAGE OF THE UNITED STATES.
