War Drums Loudly Targeting Cuba

      When its comes to the most consistent and most fiercest Counter Revolution/anti-Cuban journalists in the mainstream U. S. media, the usual suspects are chomping at the bit over the latest incident -- the prospects of a U.S.-Russia War over Ukraine -- that supposedly looms as a lovely chance to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba that has ruled the Caribbean island steadfastly since January 1, 1959, much to the chagrin of nearby Miami-Little Havana in Florida. Of course, one of the prime Counter Revolution/anti-Cuban journalists at the Miami Herald -- Nora Gamez Torres -- isn't about to miss a chance to suggest that little blockaded Cuba would be a major Russian ally in any USA-Russian War. WONDERFUL!!

   Above is the blistering Nora Gamez Torres/Miami Herald article this week about Cuba's leader Miguel Diaz-Canel and Russia's leader Vladimir Putin shaking hands on an agreement, uh, possibly related to Ukraine.

    This week's main Miami Herald/Nora Gamez Torres article, as shown above, ties Diaz-Canel/Cuba with Putin/Russia if the War over Ukraine becomes a reality.

    The very same day this week -- Jan. 24-2022 -- that the Nora Gamez Torres-Miami Herald article tied little Cuba to a big possible War between the U. S. and Russia, Russia sent a huge cargo airplane {above} to Havana loaded with tons of humanitarian aid for the Cuban people. It was welcome material for the Blockaded Cubans on the island. No military equipment was included.

    As you can see, the massive tons of humanitarian aid from Russia to Cuba this week consisted of tons of material such as Wheat Flower and Sunflower Oil. These, of course, are things that the people in a small nation that has been embargoed/blockaded since 1962 by a Superpower nation might need!!

    While the Russian aid to the Cuban people was still being moved off the plane via conveyer belts {above}, the Russian Ambassador Andrey Guskov stood before TV cameras in Havana and made this cogent statement: "These gifts for Cuban families are because the Russian people told the Russian government to send it to this vibrant but targeted island nation. We wish there was a world in which the American people, who are much closer to Cuba than we are, would tell the American government to stop trying to starve Cuban families to death or at least to submit to America's will. But this Russian cargo plane arrives in Cuba because that is the world we actually have, and it is a world that America both projects and lies about."

      As a Democracy-loving American, I don't accept everything that the Russian ambassador Andrey Guskov said in Havana this week. But the images above depict just some of the things targeting Cuban families that I sincerely believe Americans should be ashamed about {facts that are both true and historic}!! Denying them, I think, defames America more than it defames Cuba.

     Indeed, Cuba is not a threat to the U. S. but China and Russia are, separately, but surely even more so if Xi and Putin shake hands on a deal to go to War against the U. S. over either Taiwan or Ukraine, both nations China & Russia still claim.

   An imminent War pitting the USA's Biden against Russia's Putin would alone be an unwinnable situation for the United States and, perhaps, the whole world. France's most famed adventurer and Germany's most famed adventurer both were doomed when they underestimated Mother Russia. Hopefully, Biden is smarter than Napoleon and Hitler. Since 1955 the U. S., despite being the world's Superpower, has been unable to win long wars in places like Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. But trying to win either a conventional or nuclear War in which the wily Putin believes he is protecting Mother Russia would be foolhardy, at least!!

    Study this world map. Note little Cuba in the circle right below Florida. And note Russia in brown. Don't blame blockaded little Cuba for taking tons of humanitarian aid from Russia this week. But you might want to blame anyone who wants to go to War with Mother Russia.

   If World War Three starts because Mother Russia doesn't want Ukraine on its eastern border to join or be protected by the NATO alliance, who would win WW3? Or to be more precise, who would lose WW3?

    As a diehard American, I surely hope that America wins WW3. But...if I was betting on it, I would have to reluctantly and unhappily make Mother Russia a 3-point-5 favorite.

War-mongers Want CUBA Involved

   This photo today -- Jan. 25th-2022 -- was posted on Facebook by a mother in Havana and it is the type of Cuban photo that the U. S. media tells Americans doesn't exist. The photo was taken by a Cuban mother who is elated that her baby is pronounced as totally healthy by the young, well-trained Neonatologist who is skilled at treating babies that are known to have health problems at birth. Yes, since 1959 in Revolutionary Cuba, free healthcare and free education through college is still maintained despite such obstacles as the endless and cruel U. S. Blockade and COVID-19.

   Prior to 1959 when Batista, the Mafia, and the U. S. used Cuba as a lucrative Piggybank, the two photos above illustrated the sheer lack of concern or support for the healthcare or education of the island's non-Batista-aligned children. While that historic fact is undeniable, it is also not supposed to be known by Americans who are supposed to tolerate and fund a 6-decade embargo/blockade of the island; military and terror attacks; continuous laws designed to enrich/empower some anointed Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami, Newark, and Congress; etc., etc.

    Today -- on Jan. 25th-2022 -- these are the "TOP Stories" about Cuba that Americans are supposed to absorb. As you can see in the top-left, the top headline from the Miami Herald screams: "PUTIN DISCUSSES 'STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP' WITH CUBAN LEADER AMID FEARS OF MILITARY...!!!" The Miami Herald, as usual, is doing its job not missing a chance to hope that Cuba is involved in any Ukrainian War pitting the two Nuclear Super nations, Russia & the USA, against each other with, hopefully, Cuba becoming a loser.

    Of course, the fact is...both of the two nations, Russia & China, that have the capability to contest the United States militarily have both taken advantage of the USA's extreme antagonism against Cuba. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has, in fact, discussed Ukraine with Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel. And China's President Xi Jinping has, in fact, discussed Taiwan with Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel. But that doesn't mean that Diaz-Canel wants to be involved in a War that is Unwinnable!! And, of course, if sanity prevails the U. S. should avoid any war with Russia, a military power that no one should want to fight; nor should any sane nation want to fight China, which is both an economic and military Superpower. Of course, if Diaz-Canel accepts other help from the two faraway Superpowers while the nearby Superpower is continuing a decades-old assault on his Caribbean nation, he will likely accept help that reduces the stifling effects of the U. S. Embargo/Blockade.

    Meanwhile, as the world awaits what appears to be a Russian invasion to reclaim Ukraine on its western border, will there be enough allies willing to try to deter it? And...if a conventional War turns into a nuclear War the whole world could be the loser. In World War II Germany double-crossed its ally Stalin and attacked Mother Russia when Hitler grossly under-estimated the Soviet Union's size, its military prowess, and its daunting fight-to-die attitude on its own soil...and thus the Nazi forces were doomed when they couldn't win before the Russian winter set in. The BBC News reminds us that Mr. Putin has calculated Russia's 2022 Winter.

    And, meanwhile, today -- Jan. 25th-2022 -- in Havana the Cuban mother who took this photo is not too concerned with what the Miami Herald says about Cuba getting involved in a US-Russian War over faraway Ukraine. That Cuban mother, at least at the moment, is just elated that the skilled Neonatologist hoisting her once-sick baby aloft has just told the mother, "Your baby is now totally healthy!!!!"

Recapturing Cuba??

 Is It, uh, A Priority For the USA??

{The American People Don't Think So!!!}

   The above view of the world, courtesy of Wikipedia, reveals what Americans are concerned about in this next-to-last week in January of 2022!! Americans are direly concerned that Russia {green} seems poised to go to war against Ukraine {red} to protect its eastern border. Not only does Russia still have a massive landmass but now it has an absolutely awesome military buttressed by an absolutely awesome Nuclear capability. So, with the U. S. poised to support Ukraine, Americans should be direly concerned with the dire possibility of a war with Russia. And DEYOND that, Americans are direly concerned with rampart inflation, Covid-19, out-of-control crime, etc., etc., etc., etc.!!!

       Of Course -- however -- the lucrative, powerful, and determined ANTI-CASTRO/ANTI-CUBA INDUSTRY in the U. S. since 1959 remains in January of 2022 determined to keep prioritizing the recapture of Cuba as America's top priority!! If you doubt that, and YOU ARE SUPPOSED to doubt it, please check the prime Cuba Headlines today in the U. S. media...and not FROM just the usually 24-hour and ubiquitous total anti-Cuban blogs/media sources, some funded by U. S. taxpayers. Unfortunately, top mainstream U. S. media sources are also relentless and vicious Counter Revolutionary proponents against Cuba...such as the relentless Mary O'Brady at the still powerful and mainstream Wall Street Journal where she is the ultra-powerful Columnist and Editorial Editor unchecked when it comes to her Anti-Cuba "Opinions."

  Today -- in late JANUARY of 2022 -- Mary O'Grady/WSJ apparently believe that President Biden's top priority should not be taking on the Russia-Ukraine/Chinese-Taiwan problems, COVID-19, crime, inflation, etc. Oh No!! Mary O'Grady/WSJ appears to think that the USA's top priority should be to "Take on Cuba"...you know that little, poor, nearby, embargoed, blockaded island nation in the Caribbean!! So...as an American...you are supposed to support the endless desire of the vast and lucrative Anti-Cuba/Anti-Revolution COTTAGE INDUSTRY, even above other priorities!! So, by all means, read the latest massive Mary O'Grady/WSJ article entitled: "Why Won't Joe Biden Take on Cuba?" FORGET UKRAINE, INFLATION, CRIME, COVID, etc.!!! Take on Cuba!!

    After the 1898 Spanish-American War, the United States...as well as the Mafia...dominated Cuba, the largest and most beautiful nation in the Caribbean, from 1898 till 1959. But, indeed, extreme thievery and brutality spawned the Cuban Revolution that finally ended centuries of foreign and self-serving control of Cuba. For sure, Revolutionary Cuba's control of the island since 1959 has been Far From PERFECT. Yet, allowing Little Havana/Miami to regain control of Havana/Cuba is not the answer!!

Perhaps...the best answer is a handshake!!

Perhaps...the worst answer is Little Havana's!!

US Media's Darnation of CUBA!!

 While IMPLYING Greatness of Batista!!

   The Gallup and other top polls in the U. S. have recently reported that most Americans now don't trust the mainstream U. S. media...especially the top networks such as NBC, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, etc., and especially top print media giants such as the NY Times, Washington Post, etc. Of course, that is a devastating blow to the world's most famed and richest Democracy. And what Gallup and other pollsters report is particularly so when it comes to the U. S. media reporting on U.S.-Cuban relations since...way back in 1959...when the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. Unable to regain control of nearby Cuba since 1959, the U. S. media has continually dammed Revolutionary Cuba while implying the greatness of the Batista regime, apparently to make sure that the U. S. people will continue tolerating the massive tax dollars designed to starve Cubans on the island while enriching Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami, Newark, and the U. S. Congress. In that melieu, there have been some great authors such as T. J. English and even brave Hollywood moguls such as Oliver Stone/Brian DePalma who have dared tell the truth about "How the Mob Owned Cuba...and Then Lost It to the Revolution" as T. J. English explained in his brilliant and seminal book Havana Nocturne!! And alas!! In January of 2022 we learn that Hollywood has finally decided to make a Major Movie entitled Havana Nocturne based on T. J. English's classic book!!!

    Meanwhile, if you do not get to know great journalists/authors such as T. J. English, the mainstream U. S. media will provide you a daily dose of Anti-Cuba/Pro Batista propaganda -- as you can detect from depending on the headlines today as shown above. Take, for example, the YouTube/Fox News headline above that is entitled: "Cuban immigrant gives grim warning to Americans." Of Course, if any Cuban on the island or any Cuban-American says something positive or nice about Cuba, the U. S. media is not about to report it...but if any Cuban dissident on the island or any Cuban-American in Miami or in Congress damns Cuba, the headline will be splashed across the USA and, hopefully, around the whole universe.

      Implying how great the Batista reign in Cuba was, above is how Fox News this weekend splashed "CUBAN IMMIGRANT WARNS AMERICANS AGAINST SOCIALISM" news around the nation and world, included on YouTube.

     The, uh, "Cuba News" loudly espoused above this weekend by Fox News/YouTube denounced but admitted that Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 has, uh, provided free healthcare for life and free education through college for every Cuban. Uh, sure that replaced the fact that the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista rule had basically no healthcare and had no education for everyday Cubans while their island was being robbed and raped in wholesale fashion from 1952 till dawn on Jan. 1-1959.

    Would the U. S. media admit that this was a typical photo in Batista's Cuba?

   Would the U. S. media admit that this was a typical photo in Batista's Cuba that documents how Mafia kingpins such as Meyer Lansky, along with rich U. S. businessmen, routinely and daily raked in satchels of loot...in Batista's Cuba...without bothering to toss a few crumbs to everyday Cuban families??? T. J. English in Havana Nocturne revealed how "The Mob owned Cuba...and Then Lost It to the Revolution." Now, presumably, the new movie "Havana Nocturne" will bring such facts to the Silver Screen, but don't expect the U. S. media to mention it.

    Also, of course, the U. S. media has never leveled with the American people about the cruel 6-decade-old EMBARGO against Cuba since 1962. Thus, Americans are supposed to support it, or at least tolerate it, because supposedly it is to only punish the big, mean Cuban leaders. Of course, according to de-classified U. S. documents, the purpose of the EMBARGO was/is to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cuban people to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary leaders. Of Course, for over six decades the EMBARGO has not induced the Cuban people to rise up and overthrow their leaders, perhaps because enough of the Cuban people, FOR ALL THESE DECADES, remember the preceding Batista years of the 1950s. This is not to say that the EMBARGO has not at all starved, deprived, and made miserable generations of Cubans on the island since 1962. But...they are, among other things, too pugnacious to capitulate to the, uh...nice EMBARGO!!

      Since 1962 Cubans on the island have somehow survived the EMBARGO administrated cruelly and relentlessly by a neighbor that happens to be the richest and strongest nation in the world. Moreover, the great Brazilian Carlos LaTuff, in the brilliant graphic shown above, has reminded the world that the Cuban people for over two years have also survived the deadly COVID-19 Pandemic. But, perhaps, the best thing Cubans have been able to do since 1959...even better than winning the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack, etc...has being in not starving to death because of the EMBARGO. In that regard, study the three photos below that were taken today -- Jan. 22-2022 -- and posted on Facebook.

    Today Enid Remis, who is an everyday Cuban in Havana, went to the Restaurante Karma along with her husband and their three children. Enid has not allowed the EMBARGO to starve her family. On Facebook today -- Jan. 22-2022 -- Enid posted 14 photos about the nice meal she and her family had today. If you want to see her other 11 photos during the meal, you are welcome to go to her Facebook page. As you see above, Enid finished her meal with a nice cocktail. Yes, since 1962 the EMBARGO has not starved Enid...nor does Enid plan to help overthrow her Revolutionary government. If you expect her to change her mind, based on the ubiquitous headlines in the U. S. media, you should FIRST ask her instead of trusting what the U. S. media says. After all, as far as the U. S. media is concerned, Cubans on the island such as Enid are not allowed to have OPINIONS!!

PUGNACIOUS

And, oh yes...T. J. ENGLISH!!!

He knows both Havana and Little Havana.

Havana Nocturne!!

Did Biden Lessen Cuban Blockade?

 Well...maybe...A Little!!!

    The faraway nation of Iceland begged the United States to ease its Economic Blockade against Cuba so the Icelandair airplanes like this Boeing 757-200 could make regular flights to Cuba!! Surprisingly, the Biden administration in Washington actually eased the Blockade a little bit to permit Icelandair flights to Cuba...with restrictions!!!

       As you can see above, the international Insider Business Network broke the news that includes the restrictions about how tickets can be purchased. The Icelandair flights would be numerous: "Icelandair is known for connecting North American and Europe through its home country of Iceland. But a new route could see the flag carrier from the Land of Fire and Ice take passengers between Cuba and both Florida and Texas. On January 13, the US Department of Transportation approved an application by Icelandair to fly 170 round-trip charter flights between Havana and the US cities of Miami, Orlando and Houston." WOW!!! That is a lot of flights!!

    The island nation of Cuba...with its location, its beauty, and its intrigue...punches above its size and wealth on the world stage. If permitted by its nearby Superpower, many nations around the world would like the freedom to engage with Cuba.

    This map, if you look closely, shows the Atlantic island nation of Iceland {Circled in red} and the Caribbean island nation of Cuba, which is directly below the USA state of Florida, which is home to Little Havana in Miami. Iceland, per capita, is one of the world's richest nations. And, obviously, it wants the United States to allow it to engage with Cuba. Study this map...and ask why this is happening!!

60 Years+...and Counting!!
