Cuba's Massive Problems!!
The Editor In Chief of the Travel Off Path website Kashlee Kucheran this week concentrated on Cuba's decision to reopen tourist sites to international tourism after seven months of closing its borders because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She particularly pinpointed Cuba's decision to reopen Varadero Beach, which Travel Writers have voted "The World's Best Beach."
As shown by the map above, Varadero Beach is only an hour's drive east of Havana down the coastal highway along Cuba's northwest coast. As of October 15th, 2020, Varadero Beach became the latest Cuban tourist site to reopen for international travelers. Actually Cuba on July 1st had reopened the six most popular Cayo sites including Cayo Coco and Cayo Largo as depicted on this map. By November 1-2020 German, Russian, Panamanian, and other flights will deny/defy the U. S. blockade and also begin returning tourists to the Caribbean's largest island.
Several weeks ago Air Canada flights had begun taking Canadian tourists to their beloved vacation destination spot -- Cayo Coco on Cuba's northern coast.
Meanwhile, Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez this week reiterated that his island nation "will survive the current Trump administration's genocide against Cuban families just as we have survived the past six decades as a sovereign and very independent country." Rodriguez told REUTERS that in just the past year, "The U. S. genocide has cost Cuba more than $5 billion and, as the U. S. planned, it has hurt our ability to tackle the coronavirus pandemic in the total manner we have otherwise tried so hard to deal with it. Taking advantage of a pandemic to tightened genocide against Cuban families is an ongoing policy of the United States of America. I decry the propaganda or the scare tactics U. S. citizens are subjected to in order to get them to accept U. S. genocide against innocent families in a much smaller island nation. The criminality of the United States to join with the Mafia to support the brutal Batista regime in Cuba during the 1950's has spawned even more criminality in the United States since the Cuban Revolution gained our country's sovereignty by chasing the Batista-Mafia regime to U. S. soil on January one of 1959. A population of 330 million Americans today puts up with it, and in the eyes of much of the world that says much about the U.S. 'Democracy,' and what it says leaves much to be desired."
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez this week began his annual campaign for a United Nations resolution condemning the embargo put in place after Cuba's 1959 revolutionary victory over the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. The UN vote regarding Cuba's plea is usually held in October and for 29 years it has severely denounced the U. S. embargo against Revolutionary Cuba, which calls the Blockade, a "Bloqueo." In 2016, the last year of the Obama presidency, the UN voted 191-to-0 to denounce it because President Obama opposed it. But when the Democratic Obama was replaced by a Republican President named Trump, Bruno Rodriguez this week said, "The decency and sanity of Obama has gone to unmitigated insanity under Trump, a veritable genocidal Blockade aimed at the masses of everyday Cuban families. It, of course, is the age-old six decades of a policy that is trying to make the Cuban people rise up and overthrow their government. It hasn't happened and won't happen because they understand what created the Cuban Revolution, which was the extreme brutality and ravages of the U.S.-backed Batista and Mafia rule on this island in the 1950's. Unbiased nations understand that history and it is unfathomable that the American people are so massively lied to about the reason and the longevity of Revolutionary Cuba, which changed history in 1959 and now in October of 2020 is still surviving genocidal attempts being legalized by the U. S. government at the behest of the Trump regime in Washington to appease Mafiosi-types in Miami. In Spanish we call it 'genocidio' and in English the Americans and the world call it 'genocide.' And in any society 'genocidio'/'genocide' is perhaps the greatest crime in the history of mankind."
