By Tightening the 6-Decade-Old Cuban Embargo!!
The island of Cuba is known for having the best beaches in the world. That includes Varadero, which happens to be on Cuba's northern coast just a few miles south of Florida. International polls of tourists have shown that Varadero is the "World's Best Beach" but, of course, the United States doesn't want Americans and others to have the freedom to visit Varadero because, HEY!!!, if the U. S. permitted tourists to flock to Cuban beaches like Varadero if would violate the U. S. Embargo/Blockade that is doing such a good job of starving, depriving, and making miserable Cubans on the island.
Today -- on September 4th, 2023 -- JetBlue Airlines dominates the above headlines with its announcement that it is "suspending all flights to Cuba this month." It, of course, continues the trends of the USA's Trump-Biden administrations having tightened the already cruelly tight six-decade-old U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba. The extreme restrictions that Washington maintains against Cuban Tourism are designed to starve the Cuban people to entice them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, which they have had since the Cuban Revolution in 1959 overthrew the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. In 1962, after things such as the Bay of Pigs military attack in 1961 failed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, the U. S. imposed the Embargo/Blocade to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island, facts that declassified U. S. documents confirm but that Americans are not supposed to consider...as they have supported or condoned the Embargo/Blockade for the last six+ decades!!
Today jetBlue suspended flights to Cuba because it admitted it could no longer afford to abide by the strong U. S. "restrictions" that keep tourists from flying to Cuba. On the other hand, back in 2016 please note above that JetBlue Airlines announced: "The JetBlue experience you know and love is alvailable to and from Cuba! Our nonstop routes from New York, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando to great Cuban tourist spots are now ready!!" But that sane announcement was in 2016 before the Trump and Biden administrations have tightened the already cruelly tight six-decade-old U. S. Embargo/Blockade that is designed to strave Cubans in Cuba and make Cubans in Miami and Washington thrive. And remember...when JetBlue in 2016 spoke about the "great Cuban tourist spots," the airline was talking about Tourist spots in Cuba that some people consider better than the famed Tourist spots in nearby Florida.
Yes, Cuba has many of the Best Beaches in the world, such as Varadero and, of course, the superpower United States is well aware of that. And that's why the U. S. on September 4th of 2023 still doesn't want tourists to have the freedom to find out about Varadero themselves. Below is the very LEGAL U. S. law that doesn't want you to visit Varadero.
Since 1962 the two images directly above define the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE as far as most of the world is concerned. But since 1962 Americans have been persuaded to believe that such images are fine, so on September 4th of 2023 we must either support them or at least condone them.
