During the roaring 1950s when the Batista-Mafia dictators ruled Cuba, the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island nation had fantastically GOOD RELATIONS with the United States. With wild kick-backs to Dictator Batista, the top U. S. companies partook in the spoils that included extremely lucrative tourism, gambling, drugs, and prostitution amidst the Big Businesses in Cuba. But on January 1st of 1959 the Cuban Revolution, which was wildly supported by the non-Batistiano-Cubans, overthrew the Batista dictatorship. Thus from January 1st of 1959 until today, which is February 10th of 2024, US-CUBA RELATIONS have been war-like, including the U. S. Bay of Pigs Military Attack on Cuba in 1961 and the still-devastating U.S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba that began in 1962 and continues over 62 Years later. And so...as the Headlines shown below attest...on February 10th of 2024 the state of US-CUBA RELATIONS remains war-like...largely backed by rich and powerful Cubans in Miami and in Washington.
The Top Cuban Headlines shown above are flashing around the U. S. and the world from the Miami Herald; WFLA in Miami & Tampa; CNN; and the Wall Street Journal today on February 10th in 2024. From January of 1959 till February 10th of 2024 the U. S. media has promoted the greatness and goodness of Cubans in Miami while promoting the badness and degradations of the Cuban leaders in Cuba.
As an example of the Cuban headlines on February 10th of 2024, the Miami Herald/Nora Gamez Torres wants Americans and the world to know this: "Biden administration refutes Cuba's claim that the U.S. 'supports' Miami 'terrorists.'"
Beyond Cuban headlines from sources such as Nora Gamez Torres/Miami Herald, etc. there also should be headlines about news items such as the bombing of the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane in which on board died, or more recently when 32 high-powered rifle bullets blasted the occupied Cuban Embassy building in Washington, Molotov cocktails fiery blasted into the Embassy building in Washington, etc.
And, moreover, since 1962 Democracy-loving Americans like me and nations all around the whole World believe that the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba shames the United States of America. Yet it has continued for over six decades while the U. S. media routinely suggests it is to hurt/overthrow only the bad leaders of Cuba while suggesting, of course, that it is meant to HELP the masses OF EVERYDAY innocent Cubans on the blockaded island. Really? Should Nora Gamez Torres and the Miami Herald one day ask EVERYDAY CUBANS WHAT THEY THINK OF THE EMBARGO??
Regardless of whatever political problems exist between the United States and Cuba in February of 2024, the continuing and endless warlike situations between the two neighbors harshly harms 11 million Cubans in Cuba and, in the eyes of most people around the world, shames 330 million Americans. Perhaps...Nora Gamez Torres, the Miami Herald, and the rest of the mainstream U. S. media should address the US-CUBA RELATIONS fairly and evenly, and not just from the prism of a few people in a HUGE NATION that want to continue an endless EMBARGO/BLOCKADE against masses of people in a MUCH SMALLER NATION.
