Starving a littler neighbor is stupid!!
Today -- on September 20th, 2023 -- the top Cuban-related article flashing around the U. S. and the world is by Partick Oppmann of CNN. It is entitled: "Why Cubans Are Fighting For Russia In Ukraine." It clearly points out two things: {1} The U. S. Embargo against Cuba, which began in 1962 and has been cruelly expanded by both the Trump & Biden administrations, is indeed starving Cuban families on the island in September of 2023; and {2} It reminds many that the U. S. wildly helped the theiving and brutal Batista-Mafia dictationship back in the 1950s boldly rape and rob the nearby island at will. But the Oppmann-CNN report today massively explains how totally brutal two things are: {1} Wars between nations are terrible; and {2} Endless economic EMBARGOES/BLOCKADES by powerful nations against much-weaker nations are terrible. Below is how Patrick Oppmann began his article for CNN today:
Starved by the endless U. S. Embargo in their homeland of Cuba, vulnerable young men are being duped to travel to Russia on the pretense of being paid to work construction jobs, only to be forced to fight on frontlines in the brutal Ukraine-Russia War.
In the long, tragic CNN article today, Patrick Oppmann above reports how a mother named "Cecilia" is coping in Cuba knowing what is happening to her son as he is forced to fight in the Ukraine-Russia War. Of course, "Cecilia", who has faced the cruelty of the U. S. Embargo all her life, also knows why her son was so easily duped to leave Cuba for a glimmer of hope in Russia, not knowing what really awaited him.
And so...today, now late into the month of September in 2023, an important report by Patrick Oppmann on CNN News doesn't actually mean a damn thing to a third generation of Americans who have cowardly condoned the U. S. Embargo of Cuba that began in 1962. Of course, despite the image conveyed around the world by the image above, Amercians are supposed to believe that the ones responsible for the Embargo are the good guys and the starving, grieving mothers in Cuba are the bad guys.
