THE 3 Nuclear Super-Powers All Eye Cuba!!!!

 Folks, is it posturing or Warlike??

    Folks, today is JULY 15th-2023. The photo above shows a Russian nuclear worship arriving this week in Havana Harbor!!

     Folks, this photo shows a nuclear-powered U. S.submarine that docked this week in mid-JULY of 2023 at the powerful U. S. Naval Base at Guantanamo in Cuba!! As the United States is well aware, in recent days large and high-ranked delegations from Russia, China, and even Iran have visited Havana, apparently to court Cuba's political support during dire international conflicts.

    Above you can see the TOP Cuban Headlines flashing around the world on JULY 15th in 2023. Yes, the world is a bit worried about the Russian nuclear warship in Havana Harbor and the U. S. nuclear submarine in Guantanamo, Cuba.

As shown above, China also has a strong and growing nuclear submarine force and more-and-more China is the USA's prime economic and military competitor on the world stage.

    U. S. news media sources such as the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, etc., are publishing huge headlines regarding China more-and-more cozying up to Cuba as world conflicts and competitions between Superpowers simmer.

    And, yes, in recent days Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel has been warmly photographed and headlined hosting key leaders from China, Russia, and Iran in Havana, but the two photos shown above this week reveal that mostly he is flying to other countries such as Europe's Portugal that borders Spain.

     As in other U.S.-friendly nations that he has recently visited, President Diaz-Canel has been given red-carpet treatment this week in Lisbon, Portugal.

     In Lisbon this week both the two Presidents and the two First Ladies were dear friends. This shows Cuba's First Lady Lis Cuesta receiving a bouquet of flowers upon her arrival at the airport in Lisbon.

     Since 1903, or five years since the U. S. easily won the 1898 Spanish-American War in Cuba, the U. S. has occupied Guantanamo Bay where it has an infamous prison but also a powerful Military Base and luxuries such as restaurants, a bowling alley, etc. In Mid-JULY of 2023 conflicts concerning the U. S., China, Russia, Iran, etc., have revived Cuba's claim that it wants and deserves to have the very valuable Guantanamo Bay returned and for Cuba to be adequately compensated for not having it since 1903. This week in JULY of 2023 what is the U. S. saying by having a nuclear submarine at Guantanamo? Maybe the answer will arrive soon?

    Meanwhile, Cuban President Diaz-Canel is receiving some interesting foreign leaders in Havana although he seems more interested in flying to other capital cities such as Lisbon to garner further  support for Cuban concerns such as...the U. S. Embargo/Blockade, Guantanamo Bay, etc.??????

Some Truths About Cuba on July 13, 2023

 Uh...If You Don't Mind???

      Today -- on July 13th-2023 -- all the giddy U. S. headlines regarding Cuba, from the lavish Miami media to NBC News in New York, are screaming about the U. S. nuclear submarine docked at the U. S. Naval Base in Guantanamo!!! But above you at least should see today's massive article about Cuba's reaction to the situation by the Washington-based Democracy in the Americas.org website, a powerful advocate for friendly relations between Cuba and its northern neighbor, the United States.

    One thing Cuba has done since its shocking and victorious Revolution in 1959 is graduate talented television/radio journalists and also, somehow, devote a lot of time and expenses to presenting well-crafted daily broadcasts. Above are co-anchors on JULY 13th-2023 preparing to deliver a nationwhile Television Newscast. They, of course, mentioned the nuclear submarine at Guantanamo but by far their Top Story covered the latest foreign trip by Cuba's President and First Lady as they continue to garner support for things such as trying to finally end or ease the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of the island that started 6+-decades-ago in 1962 and Cuba says has been elevated to extreme starvation/deprivation situations by the last two U. S. administrations, Trump's and Biden's. It also happens that...Cuba is awash with one of the best and most sophisticated Television News operations in North America. So, today -- on JULY 13-2023 -- the images shown below are from Cuba's Newscasts showing their President and First Lady arriving today in yet another important foreign nation, this time Portugal.

     Yes, Cuba's very sophisticated Television Newscast today -- July 13th-2023 -- showed live coverage as it informed the Cuban people today that the Big Story was the trip to Portugal by Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel and First Lady Lis Cuesta. The Cuban people are, of course, direly concerned with hoping that foreign pressure will finally compel the United States to end its stifling 6+-decade-old Embargo/Blockade of the island. And that's what the Cuban people want to see their President and First Lady trying to accomplish. And that's why this latest important trip to Portugal, not the nuclear U. S. submarine at Guantanamo, was the Top Story on Cuban Newscasts today.

     In fact, this month of JULY in 2023, one of Cuba's most popular Television News Anchors is shown making friends with Chinese children in Beijing. And, of course, Cuba's ultra-modern TV transmissions can cover such things.

   And, in fact, yesterday this image shows Cuba's two very popular Sportscasters -- Rogmary Garcia and Carlos Hernandez -- reporting from Barcelona, Spain where a Cuban team happens to be playing this week. The night before Rogmary and Carlos had watched the U. S. Major League All-Star Game from Seattle and they were verily impressed that Cuban-born players were so powerfully featured, especially the Chicago White Sox's Center Fielder Luis Robert who played for Cuba in the recent World Baseball Classic in Tokyo. In fact, apart from the great young superstar Luis Robert, other Cuban-born players were batting #3, #5, and #6 in the American League's All-Star Batting Order. In fact, Rogmary and Carlos -- holding the hat and bat -- are shown above in Barcelona gloating about Cuba's strong presence in the U. S. Major League All-Star Game in Seattle. And Rogmary and Carlos are abundantly aware that Cubans in Cuba want to hear about Baseball, not just about a U. S. nuclear submarine docked in Guantanamo.

US Nuclear Submarine Docks IN CUBA'S Waters!!!!

And Should Anyone Be Concerned?? 

     The map above shows the location of the powerful U. S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It has been a thorn in Cuba's heart since 1903, which was five years after the U. S. easily won the 1898 Spanish-American War fought in Cuba. Today -- JULY 12th of 2023 -- Revolutionary Cuba is making international headlines once again about "the new U. S. threats and illegal provactions from its military hold on Cuban land at Guantanamo Bay." This time...Cuba is objecting to a U. S. nuclear submarine being docked at a key Cuban port.

     Along with the JULY 12-2023 Headlines shown above, this is an updated Associated Press aerial photo that shows some of the Cuban land and sea that the United States commands at Guantanamo, Cuba.

    The image above reveals the coverage on JULY 12th-2023 on Cuban Newscasts about the U. S. nuclear submarine now docked at Guantanamo Bay. Among other things, Cuba is saying that..."...the U. S. has over 70 other military bases in the region, including 13 major military bases including its Southern Command headquarters in nearby Florida. Also, the U. S. has nuclear submarines patrolling the Caribbean Sea and it doesn't need to dock a nuclear submarine in Cuba at Guantanamo Bay, except to further intimidate the Cuban people, which it has been doing since 1903 when it established its Military Base at Guantanamo and particularly since 1959 when the Cuban Revolution kicked other thefts and a host of other criminal activities out of Cuba."

       Above you can see what the Associated Press and the U. S. Defense Department is saying about the nuclear U. S. submarine being docked in Cuban waters at Guantanamo Bay: "A U. S. defense official told the Associated Press that a Navy submarine made a scheduled logistics stop at Guantanamo Bay...."

     When Cuba points out that "The United States has established more than 70 military bases in the region...", Cuba is stressing that the superpower U. S. military doesn't need its everlasting Military Base on Cuban soil at Guantanamo Bay, nor does the U. S. need to dock a nuclear submarine in Cuba "except to futher intimidate the Cuban people as well as scare other countries that the U. S. perceives as being friendly to Cuba." Cuba, of course, believes the nuclear U. S. submarine docked in Cuba is tied to the U. S. "perception" that China and Russia are cozying up to Cuba as tensions between the three nuclear Superpowers heighten in JULY of 2023.

      Indeed, in nearby Florida and on up the Eastern Coast the U. S. has numerous Military Bases, plus it has a powerful Caribbean Base in the U. S. Territory of Puerto Rico. Also the U. S. has its unmatched nuclear submarines patrolling the Caribbean Sea, etc. But since 1903 why has the U. S. needed a powerful Military Base in Cuba and on JULY 12th of 2023 why does the U. S. need to dock a nuclear submarine in Cuba??

    Yes, at its sprawling Military Base at Guantanamo, Cuba, the U. S. has State-of-the-Art facilities, such as the splendid airport shown above. Miami's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio and other second generation Cuban-Americans who have never been to "Cuba" have been know to fly to this gorgeous U. S. Airport at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

      The U. S. Military Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba also has nice Gift Shops, Restaurants, recreeation areas, etc., as well as an infamous Military Prison.

    And as of JULY 12th of 2023 there is a nuclear U. S. submarine docked at Gualntanamo Bay, Cuba. Of course, among Cuba's many objections about the U. S. Military Base at Guantanamo Bay since 1903, Cuba is not supposed to object to the United States docking a nuclear submarine at a key Cuban port.

Cuba Remains A Treasure Trove for Baseball Talent

 

   Tonight in Seattle the Major League Baseball season has its mid-season All-Star Game. In an era when baseball stars are routinely signing long-term $40-million-dollar-a YEAR contracts, I believe two 25-year-old Center Fielders -- Luis Robert Jr. and Ronald Acuna Jr. are the two best baseball players on the planet. They are from two baseball meccas -- Cuba and Venezuela -- that are under dire and cruel economic sanctions from the United States. And Yet both Cuba and Venezuela continue to produce many of the top Superstars in the U. S. Major Leagues, such as Robert from Cuba and Acuna from Venezuela.

      Above you can see the starting Batting Order for the American League for tonight's All-Star Game in Seattle. Note that Luis Robert Jr. is not listed although he is the best player in the AL as a brilliant Center Fielder and Slugger {26 homers already this season} for the Chicago White Sox. Robert also played Center Field for Cuba in this year's World Baseball Classic played in Tokyo. But while Robert is not in the starting batting order shown above, Cuba still has three of the first six hitters for the American League -- with Arozarena hitting #3, Diaz #5, and Garcia, #6. This Batting Order attests to Cuba's love for baseball, and also for Cuban parents knowing that Major League Baseball stars in the U. S. now routinely can command long-term contracts paying over $40 million dollars a YEAR!!

      Born 26-years-ago in Las Tunas, Cuba, Yordan Alvarez is not in tonight's All-Star Game because he is currently sidelined with an injury but he is one of the best hitters in the Major Leagues, meaning the Houston Astros may have to really open their bank account when his current multi-million-dollar contract comes up again.

      This photo shows Yordan Alvarez's family watching him play for the Astros in Houston. Left to right is Yordan's father, mother, wife Monica, and his brother.

     From Cuba to the United States with lots of Love and lots of Wealth in Houston. This photo shows Yordan Alvarez with his wife and their two children.

A 2023 Cuba-CHINA Missile Crisis???

 

   This historic photo was taken in October of 1962 and it showed "No War Over Cuba" protestors marching in front of the White House in Washington. They were protesting the fact that a Nuclear War between the U. S. and the Soviet Union over Russian nuclear missiles in Cuba seemed imminent and, indeed, to this day it is considered the closest the world has ever come to a nuclear War. And now fast-forward to this second week in JULY of 2023 and, incredibly, there are headlines similar to those that scared the whole world back in October of 1962.

     Above are the Main Cuban Headlines starting this second week of JULY-2023 in which "Protesters" in Little Havana/Miami, as reported in the top-left above by Channel 10 TV News in Miami, are among those protesting what some believe could be a nuclear war involving Cuba, China, and the United States. It seems that there are reports that Mighty China is planning a Spy Base or even a Military Base just below Florida on the island of Cuba!!!! Note that the glaring headline on the top-right above says: "Towards A Chinese Missile Crisis."

    After getting her journalism degree from Colombia University, Belen Fernandez has worked for the New York Times, Al Jazeera, etc., and now is the Managing Editor of Jacobin News. She wrote this week's article that headlined: "Towards A Chinese Missile Crisis."

    To illustrate her international article warning of a Chinese Missisle Crisis in Cuba in JULY of 2023, Belen Fernandez used the famous photo from October of 1962 when the whole world was direly afraid of a Russian Missisle Crisis in Cuba that many believed would provoke a nuclear World Three. Below are prime paragraphs from Belen Fernandez's JULY 7th-2023 article:

     As you can see above, Belen Fernandez started by disputing the claim by the Wall Street Journal about audacious plans of China supposedly erecting miliary components in Cuba. She said what China is supposedly planning in Cuba  is actually what the U. S. has already done elsewhere, including an unwanted U. S. Miliary Base since 1903 on plush Cuban soil at the important Guantanamo Port.

      Also, as you can see in the final four paragraphs of Belen Fernandez's article, she questions the "veracity" and the "hypocrisy" of all the headlines claiming that, in JULY of 2023, a "Chinese Missile Crisis" looms regarding China's current overtures to little Cuba.

    Meanwhile today -- on JULY 10th-2023 -- Cuba's veteran Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, whose opnions are usually ignored in the United States, was shown on nationwhile Cuban Television News programs today saying: "The U.S.-Chinese conundrum now only concerns Cuba from the standpoint that the U. S. has tried to starve Cuban families with its cruel Blockade for over six decades, since 1962, and recently China has sent cargo planes to Cuba located with food. And while the current Biden administration has kept in place the most stringent and most cruel aspects of the Blockade as put in place by the Trump administration, China has also helped Cuban families by modernizing our railway system. All the while the American people are told that Cuban families should prefer the efforts from the powerful nearby nation that is trying to starve Cuban familes to death as opposed to the powerful faraway nation that is trying to keep us from starving and being deprived of daily things that Cuban families need. In other words, the starvation and deprivation tactics of the U. S. against Cuba can only continue decade after decade because of a continiung stream of lies."

     Above, translated from Spanish to English, Cuban Television News Channels today -- JULY 10-2023 -- used captions while long-time Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez provided Cuba's official reaction to the latest headlines regarding the Chinese-United States-&-Cuban war-like developments.

      Meanwhile, the controversial U. S. Blockade of Cuba since 1962 and the controversial U. S. Military Base at Cuba's Guantanamo Port since 1903 are both more troubling realities today to most Cubans in Cuba than whatever military plans China has in Cuba in JULY of 2023.

Storm Clouds & War Clouds Over Cuba!!!

 

     Today -- JULY 8th-2023 -- this Newscast in Cuba told its viewers that the very vulnerable Caribbean nation is yet again being surrounded by dangerous Storm Clouds!!!

    And, meanwhile, the U. S. media remains obsessed with destroying Revolutionary Cuba 64 YEARS after the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship on January 1st of 1959. As shown above heading into the second week of JULY-2023, the U. S. media remains involved with reporting on or concocting excuses for the U. S. government to finally overthrow the damnable Revolutionary Cuba "that is so close to the coast of Florida." Above you can see that The Hill, one of Washington's most ubiquitous political media zealots, wants Americans to know that: "Instead of American Capitalism in Cuba, We Have the Chinese Military." The drastic Headline is illustrated by a drastic Photo that shows China's President Zi providing Cuba's President Diaz-Canel a massive Honor Guard greeting from a large contingent of Chinese soldiers. WOW!!! That implies, of course, that China -- which has the only economy or military that rivals those of the United States -- is wooing little Cuba as it ramps up its competition with Cuba's neighbor, the United States.

    Since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution over Batista on January 1st of 1959, there have been a plethora of excuses for the United States to totally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Targeting Fidel Castro didn't work and neither have the Bay of Pigs military attack, the economic Embargo/Blockade that has existed from 1962 till July of 2023, etc., etc., etc.!!! But perhaps the photo shown above from Beijing will finally be the excuse that prompts the United States to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba....MAYBE???

     And, meanwhile, if you study the map shown above you can see that poor little Cuba is just a few miles below the Superpower United States and many thousands of miles from China. Reality as well as this MAP proves that Revolutionary Cuba had rather be close friends with the neighboring United States than with faraway China. But obviously that is not Revolutionary Cuba's choice to make, as Cuba's top diplomat regarding relations with the United States repeatedly points out.

   The top Cuban diplomat in the U. S. is now Lianys Torres Rivera. She earlier was Cuba's top diplomat during her very important post in Vietnam before becoming the Charge d' Affaires in Washington as Cuba's top diplomat in the United States. In Washington and when she is invited to speaking engagements elsewhere in the United States, Ms. Torres repeatedly says: "The United States is Cuba's closest and most important neighbor. For our sake we earnestly and eagerly want the United States to be our closest friend and our largest trading partner, for sure. When that day comes, it will greatly help both the United States and Cuba."
