June 15th during the new 2024 US-Russia Cuban Missile Crisis?

 

    In 1898 the United States easily defeated Spain in the Spanish-America-War in Cuba, making the U. S. the new foreign power dominating Cuba, the Caribbean's largest and most coveted island-nation. In 1903 the U. S. built the U. S. Naval Military Base at Guatanamo Bay on Cuba's eastern tip. Now known as Gitmo, the Cuban Military Base in Cuba also features a controversial prison...although the U. S. already has plenty of federal prisons in the U. S. as well as dozens of ultra-powerful military bases nearby in Florida and in the Caribbean, including in the U. S. Territory of Puerto Rico. Yet, as shown by the above map, the U. S. has had its massive Military Base at Guantanamo Bay taking up 45 acres of plush Cuban soil since 1903!!!

    Today -- June 15th in 2024 -- the Cuban-related headlines flashing around the world are very scary with the world's two top nuclear powers -- Russia and the United States -- appearing to square off not so unlike the Cuba Missile Crisis in October of 1962 but this time with 2024 nuclear missiles and not 1962 ones!!

    Of course, since the victory by the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Little Havana in Miami and the Miami Herald have promoted anything that might induce the United States to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. And, for sure, the missile crisis in 1962 and the current missile crisis in Cuba in late June of 2024 were/are prime examples.

     You see, Miami is very close to Havana, which now has some Russian nuclear firepower, and Miami is also not very far from Santiago de Cuba, which now has some American nuclear firepower -- especially with competing nuclear submarines now on both ends of the alligator-shaped island of Cuba.

     What is known to History as Yellow Journalism relates back to when the two top U. S. newspaper publishers in 1898 -- Pulitzer and Hearst -- launched massive media campaigns to compel the U. S. government to go to WAR in Cuba to replace Spain as the imperative power in Cuba...but they needed to create a pretext for such a WAR. Then, conventiently, the U. S. warship USS Maine blew up with a massive explosion while it was docked in Havana Harbor, killing 261 young U. S. sailors and wounding 102 others. So...Pulitzer and Hearst had their pretext for the easy, short, bloody Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898. Cuba was the prize but the victory also added other former Spanish pieces such as Puerto Rico to the USA's nascent foreign empire.

Indeed, history remembers the USS Maine.

      As planned by the rampant YELLOW JOURNALISM, journalists working for Pulitzer and Hearst were dispatched to Cuba to report that Teddy Roosevelt was the war hero because, in addition to replacing Spain as Cuba's dominant power the plan was to make Teddy Roosevelt the next U. S. President, which also occurred. Now from the concocted Spanish-American War in 1898, please advance to today -- which is June 15th of 2024 -- and study the NEW CUBAN HEADLINES that, eerily, are reminders of both the 1898 Spanish-American War that was so cogently defined by yellow journalism as well as the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis that remains the closest the world has ever come to a nuclear WAR...but remember that 1962 missiles were not what 2024 missiles are!!! So, Please Note below, what the Associated Press, the USA's top news agency, says about the threat --- not the one in 1962 in Cuba but the one now in late June of 2024!!

     As indicated by the photo directly above, everyday Cubans are mere pawns in the war-like relations between the world's two nuclear superpowers -- Russia and the United States. Thus, similar to the everyday Cubans in 1962, this everyday Cuban in June of 2024 would love for some foreign nation to help Cuba as his island is still mired by the remnants of the six-decade-old U. S. EMBARGO that has existed since 1962 and has been recently tightened as food shortages, power blackouts, and other sheer deprivations grip Cuban citizens. This Cuban man said, "I think that Russia could help us a little more, but first it has to end the war with Ukraine." Of course, democracy-loving Americans like myself, who have visited the island, realize that everyday Cubans would prefer help, such as in the form of trade, with the nearby United States, not from faraway Russia, China, or others. But, still, Cubans like this man are not getting much-needed help from anyone...certainly not from the United States.

Russian Warships Enter Havana Harbor Today

       Today -- June 12th in 2024 -- these photos/caption above on Cuban television show Russian warships docking or entering the Port of Havana. Three Russian warships and a nuclear-powered submarine will remain in Havana till June 17th, 2024. The Russian vessels have been closely monitored by Canadian and United States planes and ships all along the eastern coasts of Canada and the United States.

     The three photos above -- on June 12th-2024 -- show Cuban citizens watching three Russian warships and a Submarine entering Havana Harbor. The photos are by Yamil Lage for the Paris-based AFP news agency.

US-Cuba-Russia Tensions Mount In June, 2024

 

      Today -- on June 10th in 2024 -- the worldwide media is reporting that "Tensions escalate as Russia sends submarines to Cuba." Above you can see that headline flashing around the world by the powerful WION News Network headquartered in India. And study all the photos and captions shown below:

     The two leaders of Cuba and Russia insist that there will be "NO NUKES ON RUSSIAN SHIPS" that will be visiting Havana in June of 2024 when they arrive in Havana just a few miles from Key West, Florida, and not far from the controversial U. S. Military Base at Guantanamo Bay in southeast Cuba.

    Tap the 5-minute YouTube video shown above to watch how "THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS" for 13 frightening days in October of 1962 had the whole world shaking with fear. And understand that the Soviet Union and United States nuclear misslies in 1962 were mere toys compared with what the Russian and United States nuclear missiles are in 2024. In the 5-minute video shown above, PLESE NOTE that a last-second decision by one Russian general probably saved the world from a nuclear war in October of 1962.

     For sure, Cuba is just a few miles from the United States but thousands of miles from Russia. And, for sure, Cuba is well aware that being friends with the United States would be much better than being friends with faraway Russia.

    But the reality is...that the United States, not Russia, has imposed a devastating economic EMBARGO that has surrounded Cuba since 1962, or since 1962 because the U. S. had been unable to overthrow the Cuban Revolution that had overthrown the U.S. backed Batista DICTATORSHIP in 1959. It so happens that the EMBARGO against Cuba, in the past five years under the Trump and Biden administrations, has created massive food shortages, deprivations of many things including much-needed medical supplies, and massive electric power blackouts across the severely targeted Caribbean island. Cuba thus is hoping Russia, which has recently sent some oil to Cuba, will help even more. While the United States shows no signs of easing the six-decade EMBARGO and while Russia claims it will help Cuba survive the EMBARGO, at the moment in June of 2024 perhaps the real question is...what choices do Cuba have TO CHOOSE FROM?????????????

Is Cuba Being Drawn inta a WAR Between Nuclear Superpowers?

 Headlines on June 7th-2024 say "YES".

      Throughout the first six months of 2024 worldwide headlines have chronicled the true facts reporting that the island-nation of Cuba is facing massive food shortages, medical deprivations, and power blackouts. Cuba, of course, says the reason is the U. S. EMBARGO that has existed since 1962 -- which easily makes it the longest and tightest EMBARGO any powerful nation has ever imposed on any small nation. The United States, of course, says its famed and endless EMBARGO has no part in Cuba's problems because, prior to 1959 when the U. S. loved dictator Batista's Cuba, the United States helped the island become extremely rich thanks to U. S. companies championing tourism while other money-making schemes...such as gambling, drugs, and prostitution -- were luring massive tourists with lots of money to spend. Of course, billions of people around the world since 1959, after the Revolution overthrew Dictator Batista, have come to believe that both Cuba and the United States are lying about who is to blame for the island's dire problems. Nevertheless, the prime victims in U.S.-loved Batista's Cuba and in U.S.-hated Revolutionary Cuba have been and still are the millions of Cuban men, women, and children on the devastated island, an island cruelly surrounded by its northern Superpower neighbor.

     The images of Cuban farmers using oxen to plow their fertile fields have been uniquitous during the six-decades+ that the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba has existed. Obviously, as revealed by worldwide headlines about families in Cuba facing starvation, the Cuban farmers have needed some modern farm equipments, not just oxen, to prepare their crops. If the ultra-rich Superpower neighbor United States continues to maintain its tight economic EMBARGO that Cuba says is causing starvation on the island in 2024, obviously the island nation is forced to beg for help from other nations...even from nations that are considered serious U. S. enemies.

      Meanwhile, on June 7th in 2024 the Cuban media is telling the Cuban people that the island is trying to help them...such as acquiring these ultra-modern tractors that are being provided to farmers in the ultra-fertile Pinar Del Rio province southwest of Havana. But even as these vital new tractors are being delivered to Cuban farmers, the top Worldwide Cuba Headlines on June 7th in 2024 are suggesting that little Cuba is being drawn into what might soon become a nuclear war between the two top nuclear Superpowers in the world -- namely, the United States and Russia. If you doubt that possibility, please study the Top Cuban Headlines flashing around the world today -- on June 7th in 2024:

The Cuban Headlines on June 7th-2024!!

    The headline and article shown above are on June 7th-2024 from The Guardian, the London-based worldwide news source. The U. S. is currently providing weapons to Israel in Gaza and to Ukraine in its bloody war with Russia. While the U. S. is awash with nuclear weapons, so is Russia -- and both have pinpoint delivery systems from the ground silos, missiles, ships, and submarines. The Guardian, as shown above, is among the many international news sources deeply worried in June of 2024 about Russia complaining loudly last week that the U. S. is providing precision weapons that Ukraine can now send across the border to strike inside Russia. Cuba says that the Russian ships that will dock in Havana in mid-June of 2024 will not be armed with nuclear weapons..."but......"

    The entire world in June of 2024 well remembers the "The Cuban Missile Crisis that -- for 13 days in October of 1962 -- had the entire world deadly afraid about a possible Nuclear War between the Soviet Union {Russia} and the United States. For sure, the Cuban Missile Crisis way back in October of 1962 is still considered the closest the world has ever come to a Nuclear War. The world today also understands that the newly discovered bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 destroyed two big Japanese cities, causing Japan to finally quit in World War Two. And please understand...between 1945 and 2024 both the United States and Russia have developed nuclear weapons and delivery systems that -- BY COMPARISON -- would make the 1945 bombs to be  like mere TOYS.

The two leaders in 1962 who barely averted a nuclear war.

     Next week judging by the above headlines -- in mid-June of 2024 -- the world is hoping that the current leaders of Russia and the United States can also avert a nuclear war...even as nuclear-armed Russian warships and submarines are at this moment supposedly heading towards docking at the southern doorstep of the United States in the waters of Cuba.

    This map shows where the unwanted U. S. military base at Guantanamo Bay is located on the southeastern tip of Cuba. It also shows where the Bay of Pigs U. S. military land-air-sea attack designed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba landed on Cuban soil near the southern coastal city of Trinidad in April of 1961, but it was a gigantic U. S. failure that was then followed by such things as the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba in 1962. And, moreover, this map also shows Cuba's capital of Havana that is just a few miles from the United States. It appears, if all those worldwide headlines are correct, Russian nuclear ships and submarines will be docked in Havana's waters in a few days. For sure, remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the world hopes that the United States, Russia, and little Cuba can avert a nuclear war in June of 2024. And, for sure, there are already too many non-nuclear wars in the world...but, SO FAR there has never been a nuclear war.

MiamiCubans Dictate US Cuba Policies

 Both in the Government and News Media!!

      The Little Havana enclave in Miami Florida began dictating the USA's Cuban policies soon after the Cuban Revolution overthrew the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba on January 1st of 1959. From 1959 till today -- in June of 2024 -- daily efforts to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba have included the air-land-sea Bay of Pigs military attack in 1961; the world's longest Embargo/Blockade of any small nation that began in 1962 and continues to this day; terrorists attacks on Cuba such as the bombing of the 1976 civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane that killed all 72 passengers; a world record number of assassination attempts on Fidel Castro; etc., etc. Yet, while Revolutionary Cuba in 2024 is celebrating its 65th year in power, the yeoman efforts of Miami, Florida, and WASHINGTON -- despite incomparable efforts backed by incomparable financing and power -- Revolutionary Cuba incredibly still rules the island.

      In the 1950s the vile Batista dictatorship accepted huge financial kickbacks from the rich U. S. companies that were then allowed to make fortunes in Batista's Cuba. But when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing Batista, many of the key Batistianos fled to nearby Miami where they quickly created Little Havana, from where they expected the U. S. to return them to Cuba shortly after easily overthrowing the Cuban Revolution. But, INCREDIBLY, that herculean effort by the Batistianos and the superpower U. S. government In June of 2024 remains a work in progress.

      But, as indicated above, Little Havana in Miami is a mere few miles from Cuba's Havana, meaning that the rich and politically powerful Cuban-Americans who can dictate politics in Miami, in Flirida, and in Washington can wreak havoc on Cubans in Cuba even though they have not subdued them YET!! 

     In this first week of June of 2024 above are the top Cuban Headlines flashing around the United States and the World. Take a moment, if you will, to enlarge and study these headlines.

     As you can judge today from the top Cuban Headlines on June 5th of 2024, the U. S. people and most people around the world are daily spoonfed anti-Cuba "news" from counter-revolutionary sources such as Nora Gamez Torres and the Miami Herald. Thus, for the past 65 years, Americans especially have been told that the Batista dictatorship in Cuba prior to the 1959 Revolution was nice because it permitted rich American companies to get MUCH RICHER!! 

     But, if the truth is known, vile dictators are not good guys merely because they help rich U. S. companies GET MUCH RICHER.
