After 62 Years the US "eases" Cuban Embargo?


 Uh...REALLY????

     The U. S. EMBARGO has surrounded and devastated the island of Cuba for over six decades, or since February of 1962. The whole world opposes it but, of course, not Miami or Washington.

     In mid-September of 2024 above are the top Cuban Headlines circling around the world. Reuters, the world's best international News Agency that happens to be based in London, has the top headline today -- "Hundreds of thousands in Cuba without water." Back in 1962 the stated purpose of the U. S. EMBARGO on Cuba had three main purposes: {1} To create hunger; {2} to deprive; and {3} to make miserable the Cuban people to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. And all three of those things have resulted, but yet the Revolutionary government in Cuba has somehow existed for over six decades...and counting.

     And now, after all of these decades, on September 17th in 2024 again study the Cuban Headlines, as shown above, that are circling around the world. Yes, the lack of safe water is a primary concern for Cuban families as headlined by Reuters in the top-left above, but also take note in the top-right that the South China Morning Post headline tells the world that "New Luxury Chinese Japanese and US cars a contrast to Cuba's classics." WOW!! Another paradox and joke for the Cuban people who can't buy enough food to eat or enough safe water to drink but in September of 2024 the U. S. has eased the EMBARGO restrictions so the island of Cuba is suddenly awash with luxury cars. WONDERFUL!!!!!
     As the Reuters article/video explains, Cuban officials "blame crumbling infrastructure and a lack of fuel" for the Revolutionary government's failure to provide safe water for its citizens. But unlike most of the U. S. media and unlike the Miami and Washington supporters of the endless EMBARGO, the Reuters article/video also blames the EMBARGO. But, of course, any journalist or government official that fails to ask Cuban mothers like the one shown above how she thinks are just lying about why she is so worried about a lack of necessities such as safe water in Cuba. Yes, the Cuban mother shown above needs to have the last word regarding who is to blame -- the EMBARGO or the Revolution.
      While the rich and powerful supporters of the EMBARGO/Blockade say that it and they are blameless for the poverty and turmoil in Cuba, many agree with the poster shown above that depicts the EMBARGO/Blockade as the longest genoicide in history ever imposed by a powerful country against any much weaker country.
      The Spainish-based international El Pais News Agency says: "Dozens of former presidents and prime ministers from around the world have signed a letter in which they convey to U. S President Joe Biden, a few months before the end of his term, a request made by others in the past to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism in which it was included under Donald Trump, reversing Barack Obama's attempt to remove it from this list as part of the restoration of diplomatic relations in 2015." Unfortunately, of course, the richest and most powerful nation in the whole world doesn't have to consider what the rest of the world thinks about the EMBARGO/Blockade of Cuba. Thus, it has existed for over six decades.
