Warships and Hungry Children in Havana

WHY? 

     This Washington Post photo in the summer of 2024 flashed around the world with a caption that told about the "cascading" food shortages {hunger} facing children in Cuba. Of course, not many cared because the world has been programmed to believe this little girl in Havana is a "bad" person and that the "good" people in a nearby rich nation should not even care. Meanwhile, in this last week of July in 2024, a war-ravaged far-away nuclear superpower is saying it will help starving children in Cuba...if Cuba helps in its bloody, far-away war efforts.
     This NPR photo on July 28th, 2024 shows yet another Russian warship entering Havana harbor. It's not yet akin to the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis but it surely is worth watching.
     And, yes, the world's media continues to keep tabs on Russian warships entering Havana Harbor...as shown by the headlines flashing around the world on July 28th, 2024. As the Russian warships frequent Havana Harbor they are just mere miles from Florida and from the U. S. Military Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As the bloody war rages over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the world's two most powerful nuclear powers -- Russia and the United States -- are on opposite sides in a tragic conflict that often resembles the worst destruction from World War II.
     But, meanwhile, as the Winds of War swirl ominously around the world in late July of 2024, let us not forget the hungry little girl in Havana that the Washington Post showcased to remind the world of the tragic food shortage in Cuba. The parents and neighbors of this little girl are beyond taking sides regarding which country to support in the worldwide wars, but each day they are concerned about which big country is trying to help their little girl from starving. The parents and neighbors of this little girl believe that the Embargo/Blockade that the United States has imposed on Cuba since 1962 was intended to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans on the island to cause them to overthrow their revolutionary government. At the end of July in 2024 perhaps it is time for the U. S. government to tell Cuban families if that really was the stated purpose of the Embargo/Blockade and also tell them why, despite the fact it hasn't caused the overthrow of the revolution, it has existed for so long.
1962 till 2024 is a LONG time.
