US Finally Admits Cuba Is Not a Terror Sponsor

    In these closing days of MAY in 2024 this is becoming a familiar photo from Cuban airports as Air China flights are landing on the Caribbean island that is direly suffering from a lack of tourism that Cuba blames on the tightening of the six-decade-old economic US EMBARGO, which is severely exacerbating food shortages, blackouts, and other deprivations for Cuban families. In multiple dire warlike competitions between the world's two richest and most powerful nations, China is trying to defy the United States by trying to drastically help Cuba benefit from a drastic increase of Chinese tourism.

Happy Chinese tourists now flocking to Cuba is important.

     Happily greeting one of the Air China tourism flights was Cuba's Prime Minister Manuel Marrero {in the red shirt}. He said, "This week, the United States amazingly removed Cuba from its list of nation's that sponsor terrorism...apparently admitting that Cuba is a target of terrorism and not a sponsor or promoter of terrorists. Also this week, China began a strong program to defy the U. S. blockade by strongly promoting tourism to Cuba. All countries, big and small, deserve the right to benefit from tourists and, unlike the United States, China thinks Cuba also deserves that right." 

      Today you can see above the Top Cuban Headlines flashing around the world on May 18th, 2024. The London-based BBC is reporting on Cuba's "collapsed sugar industry," in memory of the past when Cuba led the world in sugar production. The top U. S. news agency, the Associated Press, reports that the U. S. finally "removes" Cuba from its "short list of countries" considered to be sponsors of terrorism. WOW!! Now the U. S. has just four nations on the Terror List -- North Korea, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela. Yahoo News today devotes its Cuban headline to "Chinese visitors" who are beginning to flock to Cuba to defy the U. S. blockade. And, of course, Miami Herald's Cuban headline today chortles about "Cuba's economy in tailspin" that forces the island to seek help from Russia and China, the USA's two prime international competitors.

     And, meanwhile, Cuba still is home to gorgeous and world-famed tourist attractions that have suffered for over six decades because of the U. S. EMBARGO.

    Of course, back in the 1950s -- prior to the Cuban Revolution's victory in 1959 over Cuba's vile Batista dictatorship -- the U. S. wildly promoted lucrative tourism to Cuba with massive promotions such as the one depicted above.
