Rubio's Regime Change in Cuba Has Not Happened YET?

 Let's review WHY...........!!!

      Today is August 15th, 2025. The most interesting US-Cuban Headline flashing around the world today is: "U. S. Exports To Cuba Surge -- Paid in Cash." It is from "Belly of the Beast," which has excellent journalists that keep close daily tabs on US-Cuba Relations. Actually, by August 15th in 2025, most people had believed Cuba's 1950's historic revolution, which has ruled Cuba since 1959, would finally be ended by Miami's Marco Rubio who has been President Donald Trump's ultra-powerful Secretary of State for over six months now!! But the Cuban Revolution is still alive and, in fact, the U. S., instead of starving the Cuban people and otherwise tormenting them as per the infamous EMBARGO/Blockade that has existed since 1962, today is actually sending vital exports to Cuba. And so, why is the U. S. doing  this? If you go to the Belly of the Beast website you can read the explanations, including this one: "How is Cuba, under  siege from devastating U. S. sanctions, importing so much from the U. S.? The apparent paradox is explained by the growth of Cuba's private sector." In other words, private businesses are not only beginning to arrive but also thrive in Cuba...and they are buying needed supplies from countries like China, Vietnam, and Belarus. Vietnam has also recently sent an expert delegation of food producers and their modern equipment to work with Cuban farmers to train and help them to produce agricultural products that have so badly been lacking on the US-sanctioned island. So it appears the new U. S. exports to Cuba, which are being paid for in cash, are a result of the U. S. competing with some other countries that appear to be trying to help Cubans in Cuba.

      Also reflecting a long-awaited change in Cuban economics, one of the island's most popular TV journalists, Rosy Amaro, has started a Podcast entitled "Let's Do Business." Each Podcast features a young Cuban entrepreneur who has started a business that is proving to be successful.

      And so, amid world headlines about Cubans starving and being forced to exist with long island-wide power shortages, there appear to be in August of 2025 some positive changes in Cuba. If so, of course, they are coming on the heels of the two most powerful Americans -- Donald Trump and Miami's Cuban-American Marco Rubio -- apparently trying to end the pugnacious Cuban Revolution once and for all!! For sure, by mid-August of 2025 most observers believed that the U. S., holding all the cards, would have retooled Cuba to Rubio's liking by now.

     Back in January of 2025 Danald Trump began his second 4-year term as President of the United States by naming Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Later Rubio was also given the title of National Security Advisor. That arguably makes Rubio the  second most powerful person in the world. Thus, quickly many experts predicted that Rubio would make quick work of finally putting an end to the pugnacious but teetering Cuban Revolution, which in 1959 overthrew the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. After all, after being born 54 years ago in Miami to anti-Castro parents, Rubio has devoted his entire adult life to overthrowing the Cuban Revolution's rule in Cuba. Of course, by the time Rubio was born his hometown had already become known as Little Havana Miami and was totally led by very rich and politically powerful anti-Castro Cuban-Americans. From 2011 till 2025 as a powerful U. S. Senator from  Little Havana Miami,  the well-groomed and well-educated Rubio spearheaded the USA's vast anti-Cuban efforts in Washington, but never has he been able to overthrow the revolution's hold on the Caribbean's largest island that is just a few miles south of Litttle Havana Miami. But as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, many assumed that by August in 2025 that Secretary of State/National Advisor Marco Rubio would have already ended Fidel Castro's victory in the long-ago Cuban Revolution. But it has not happened...at least not YET.

     Born in Miami/Little Havana 54 years ago, Marco Rubio has unabashedly spent his entire adult life in Miami and Washington trying to overthrow the Cuban Revolution, which way back in 1959 overthrew the brutal Miami/Washington/Mafia-beloved dictator Fulgencio Batista. Well, since January of 2025 Rubio, as President Trump's Secretary of State, apparently has an easy road to finally end Cuba's revolutionary rule. Quickly Rubio's State Department placed Cuba on its Sponsor of Terrorism List, which severely tightens the already severe economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba that the U. S. has imposed on the vulnerable island since 1962. Also, of course, Rubio's State Department has "escalated his  war on the Cuban medical aid program" that has famously helped other countries but of course Rubio does not want Cuba to make a peso or penny from the Cuban doctors that other nations need and want. Is this, uh, a WONDERFUL way for a superpower neighbor to treat a much weaker and poorer nation? Of course, if you are a superpower Cuban-American U. S. politician from Miami/Little Havana your regime change plans regarding Cuba are totally unimpeded and totally supported in the nearby United States of America, the same superpower that back in the 1950s wildly promoted vast business and massive tourism to Batista's dictatorship.

      But now in mid-August of  2025 the top Cuban Headlines flashing around the world, as shown above, reveal vididly that Marco Rubio, now in charge of the USA's foreign affairs, continues to be trying wildly to end the Cuban Revolution even though the U. S. is also embroiled in other massive foreign entanglements such as upping tarrifs on many nations that are huge trading partners and, of course, also there are bloody wars raging around the world that the U. S. is trying to put ends to. Already the U. S. has put Cuba back on its Sponsors of Terrorism List, which means even stronger sanctions can be placed on Cuba atop the excruciating EMBARGO/Blockade that has existed for almost seven decades, since 1962. The headlines above refer to measures against Cuba by Rubio in August of 2025 to use the massive influence that the U. S. can exert against other countries to dissuade them not to help or do business with Cuba.

       In March of this year, right after becoming Secretary of State, Marco Rubio toured countries in the Caribbean and elsewhere in the Americas to make sure the U. S. is not impeded in its renewed Trump-Rubio efforts to orchestrate the regime change in Cuba. In the photo above Rubio is shown meeting with Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness. In fact, Rubio was embarrassed at their new conference when Holness pushed back when Rubio wanted Holness to stop paying Cuba for the Cuban doctors and nurses in Jamaica. Holness held his ground and suggested that the Jamaican people needed and loved the help they are getting from the skilled  and dedicated Cuban medical brigade.

        Of course, U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has unlimited resources to use to persuade Jamaican leader Andrew Holness and other leaders in the Americas and elsewhere in the world. But Holness, while agreeing to sign a new deal with Rubio in March of 2025, at least admitted he still wanted the medical help from Cuban doctors to continue in Jamaica.

    While Marco Rubio pinpointed Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, as his first stop on his anti-Cuban tour, the unique U. S. influence throughout the Americas and around the world has largely dissuaded help for Revolutionary Cuba. But all maps such as those above reveal that Cuba's strategic location as the largest nation in the Caribbean has always made it a powerful lure coveted by world powers. Spain, of course, dictated Cuba for many decades with Cuba, in the 1890s, losing two Independence War to Spanish soldiers on Cuban soil. But by then the burgeoning United States wanted to be a world power too, and that quest began with Cuba!!!!

      By April 21st in 1898 the U. S. recognized that Spain was no longer able to maintain control in Cuba, and the United States, Cuba's neighbor, was finally powerful enough to become a world power. Thus in April of 1898 the SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR began on Cuban soil. It, of course, was a quick and easy win for the United States. Spain then had to cede Cuba to the U. S. along with Puerto Rico and  Guam, and also Spain was forced to cede or sell key parts of the Philippines to the United States. In other words, starting with Cuba in 1898 the burgeoning United States of America became a world power and soon thereafter the U. S. became THE WORLD POWER.

      By 1903 the United States had its own Military Base on Cuban soil at Guantanamo Bay on the island's southeastern tip. The U. S. occupation of 45 plush acres of Cuban soil has, of course, greatly embarrassed Revolutionay Cuba since 1903 till today, which is mid-August of 2025.

       The ultra-powerful United States Secretary of State in 2025 is Marco Rubio who was born in Miami to Cuban parents who hated revolutionay Cuba. Rubio himself has never been on Cuban soil but, of course, as a U. S. Senator he has visited the "U.  S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay  in Cuba." Notice above that the U. S. flag flies over Guantanamo Bay. And also notice that the U. S. government calls it the "Pearl of the Antilles." and says so in capital letters.
