Trump Is Not First US President That Craves Cuba

 

    For a couple of decades Yoani Sanchez has been at the forefront of the Cuban dissidents desperately trying to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, which has ruled Cuba for 66 years after overthrowing the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship back in January of 1959. Operating from her studio apartment in Havana, she is now 49-years-old and has massive worldwide fame & forums that are wildly supported. One of Yoani Sanchez's powerful media sources is 14 Ymedia that has international reach and influence. It is obvious she believes, FINALLY, that the return of Donald Trump as President of the United States this month -- on January 20th, 2025 -- will quickly bring about the end of Revolutionary Cuba. Of coourse, that belief is cemented by the sheer fact that Marco Rubio, Miami's fierce Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American, is now Trump's ultra-powerful Secretary of State who has the unmatched power to easily bring about the demise of the Cuban Revolution's historic control of Cuba.

     Above is the Yoani Sanchez headline and sub-headline that is now flashing around the world that prefaces the massive article explaining how Miami's Marco Rubio is the force that will soon end the long reign of Revolutionary Cuba, the Caribbean's largest island-nation that is a few miles south of Miami.

           Of course, Donald Trump is not the first U. S. President to wildly covet and then seek control of Cuba. Thomas Jefferson, the man who wrote the U. S. Declaration of Freedom that separated the U. S. colonies from England's imperative empire and was then third President of the U. S., hungered to take possession of Cuba. In 1817, as shown below, Jefferson said: "If we seize Cuba we will be masters of the Caribbean." In 1823 Jefferson said: "i candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could be made to our system of states." Please enlarge the wildly eager quotations listed below that reveal how massively Mr. Jefferson and many other U. S. Founding Fathers, newspapers, etc., wanted Cuba to be the USA's.

   Any map  or any other honest observation of Cuba will conclusively explain why Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and other U. S. leaders covet dominance over the Caribbean's largest island that is arguably the Caribbean's most beautiful nation and also its most stragetically located nation as well as potentially the richest nation in the Caribbean.

        For sure, since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959, the United States has tried to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. That, of course, includes the Bay of Pigs military air-sea-and-land attack in 196l and the massive EMBARGO/Blockade of Cuba that started in 1962 and STILL exists.

And that brings us back around to Yoani Sanchez, the 49-year-old Cuban in Cuba who leads the long-fight to overthrow the Cuban Revoluion. Her international and wildly supported forums include the digital force she calls 14ymedia.

Has Yoani Sanchez been, uh, Made in the USA?

Check the photos below:

      The  two photos above show Yoani Sanchez after short flights from Havana to Miami to broadcast her extreme counter revolutionary diatribes on Radio-TV Marti, the vehemently anti-Cuba media force in Miami that has been wildly provided millions of tax dollars to broadcast extreme anti-Cuban Radio & TV programs for decades.

        Of course, the high-flying Yoani Sanchez visits the U. S. Senate in Washington where her dear friends, as shown above, have for the past two decades been extreme and unchecked anti-Cuba Cuban-Americans Marco Rubio & Bob Menendez.

    For sure poor, little, beautiful, destitute Cuba is barely surviving the first few weeks of the Trump-Rubio adminstration but it will take a miracle for Revolutionary Cuba, now into its 66th year of existence, to survive what President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio have in store for the nearby island later in 2025. The U. S. decades-long efforts to starve Cuba into submission with the Embargo, Blockade, Helms-Burton Law, etc., somehow has not worked, at least not entirely. But when it comes to firepower, of course, the U. S. has more military power in Cuba than Cuban has.

     Since 1903, shortly after the 1898 U. S. victory in the Spanish-American War fought in Cuba, the U. S. has had a powerful U. S. Military Base on 45-square acres of Cuban soil. Located on the eastern tip of Cuba, the U. S. control of the Guantanamo Bay Military Base remains a source of shame and Cuba says it is a dire potential threat.

      Born in Miami 53 years ago, Marco Rubio has never been to Cuba except, of course, to the U. S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay. Marco Rubio, prior being appointed and quickly confirmed in January of 2025 as Secretary of State, had represented fierce counter revolutionary forces from Miami-Little Havana in the U. S. Senate since 2011. In early 2012 the photo above shows Rubio, on the left, being shown around the U. S. Guantanamo Military Base.

     This month after Marco Rubio became the U. Secretary of State, Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel -- shown on the right -- led a military parade. Afterward, Diaz-Canal said: "True, we may not win this time but we will defend our nation the best way we can. Hopefully that will be with negotiations."

The Trump-Rubio Plans to End the Cuban Revolution

Starting in January of 2025!!

     Today is January 23rd, 2025. For three days President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have been the two most powerful people in the world. That, of course, is after Trump was rather powerfully re-elected to a second 4-year term as President and the Miami Cuban-American Rubio quickly was confirmed as Secretary of State. Now Trump and Rubio have the incomparable power of the United States to finally, among other things, overthrow the Cuban Revolution that 66 years ago overthrew the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba.

      For over 66 years the U. S. media and U. S. government have primarily defended the Batista dictatorship, which allowed both the Mafia and top U. S. companies to rake in millions of dollars in Cuba, while damning the Fidel Castro-led Cuban Revolution that ended the Batistiano rule. And now in the second half of January in 2025 there are many things that the U. S.. media will assault Trump and Rubio for, but their desire to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba will not be one of those THINGS.

     In the U. S. media Cuba's viewpoints regarding President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio will be meaningless. But in Social Media and much of the Foreign Media there will be coverage of Cuba's views. For example, one of the most powerful Cubans in Cuba is Johana Tablada and, of course, she has some strong viewpoints regarding the new Trump=Rubio administration, so read some of them below:

       Some of Johana Tablada's comments regarding Trump.

Yes, she speaks for Cuba.

     Regardless of what happens to Cuba now that Donald Trump has returned as President of the United States, this time with Miami/Little Havana's Marco Rubio as his ultra-powerful Secretary of State, the Caribbean's largest island will continue to try to resist foreign control. It did that but lost two Revolutions to Spain in Cuba. Then soon afterward in 1898 the United States won the Spanish-American War fought in Cuba. But then from 1953 till 1959 the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. And now, if the Cuban Revolution is finally overturned in 2025 by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, it will be no surprise. No surprise at all.

U. S. ALWAYS EYES CUBA!!!!

Now Rubio can soon claim Cuba.

Renewed Pleas to "Let Cuba Live"

Will Trump & Rubio Let Cuba Live??

     Starting today -- January 21st in 2025 -- these two men are the two most powerful leaders in the whole world. Donald Trump, who was the 45th U. S. President, is now the 47th U. S. President. And Marco Rubio today got unanimously confirmed by the 100-person U. S. Senate as the next U.. S. Secretary of State. This photo by the London-based international BBC News network is why the world is predicting that, among other drastic and international changes, the superpower United States, after 66 years of trying to do so, will finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, which the Fidel Castro-led Cuban Revolution overthrew the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship on the first day of January way back in 1959. Trump's first 4-year term as President almost created an overthrow of Cuba starting in 2016 when he drastically expanded the six-decade-old U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba by putting the vulnerable but pugnacious island on the U. S. List of Nations That Sponsor Terrorism. And now starting on January 21st in 2025 President Trump has given Marco Rubio, as the new Secretary of State, the power to personally orchestrate the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba. Born in Miami 53 years ago in the rich, powerful, and viciously counter revolutionary section of Miami known as Little Havana, Rubio has already since 2011 been in the U. S. Senate from Little Havana where he had led the fight to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Starting today, of course, it appears that Rubio will be allowed to finish the job.

               Above the plea to "Let Cuba Live" is from Michael John Kowalchuk, a journalist from Northampton, Maine. He makes a solid and strong case asking the superpower United States to permit innocent and everyday Cuban families to live in peace. Endless sanctions such as the six-decade-old Embargo that those families call a Blockade has, as expected, starved, deprived and made miserable everyday Cuban families on the island.. Among other things posted above, Michael John KowalchuK says:

             "Trump reversed Obama's limited reforms and ridiculously added Cuba to its State Sponsors of Terrorism List, which further limits the country's access to trade...!"

            

             "Despite the blockade, Cuba provides universal health care and free education {through college} to its people....!"

           "...Biden broke campaign promises to reverse Donald Trump's aggressive policies against Cuba, contributing to an economic crisis that led to an emigration of over  10% of the population. When Joe Biden was running for reelection, he hoped his hawkish policies would attract right-wing Cuban-American voters. Instead, Kamala Harris lost Florida, and the only result of Biden's gamble was suffering for Cubans. The U. S. blockade against Cuba has been in place for over 60 years, and its stated aims include inducing starvation to compel Cubans to overthrow their government. With limited exceptions, Americans are unable to travel to Cuba, so the only news they receive about the island is from the corporate media."

       Indeed, if you study the above words from Michael John Kowalchuck you note that he is one of the few American journalists to have the courage to mention that the U. S. Embargo-Blockade, which began in 1962, has as it purpose and aims "to induce starvation to compel Cubans to overthrow their government." He also mentioned that, with the U. S. Embargo, "the only news Americans receive about the island is from the corporate media." Of course, Kowalchuck doesn't think too much of the mainstream U. S. media, which he called "the corporate media." Unfortunately, for a great Democracy, most American don't trust their media, according to Gallup and other polls.

      The United States calls it "a needed EMBARGO" while Cuba calls it "a genocidal and historic Blockade." But whatever it is called, it is unconscionable, unethical, indefensible, and unprincipled at least as far as millions of vulnerable Cuban families are concerned.  Yet the world's richest and strongest nation has allowed {whatever the EMBARGO/BLOCKADE is called} to exist from 1962 till 2025. How can it be that somewhere in THE PAST six decades a few rich people in a powerful nation can be allowed to starve and deprive masses of people in a much smaller nation? Is it because Cuban-Americans in Little Havana USA in nearby Miami like Marco Rubio keep saying: "We Cubans in Miami are GOOD and Cubans in Havana are BAD!!" 

   Well, folks, Michael John Kowalchuk -- along with millions of Americans and billions of people worldwide -- does not think there are any viable excuses for the endless EMBARGO/BLOCKADE that has tormented generations of Cuban families, and it appears billions of people in the world agree with him. As a lifelong fierce Democracy-loving American, I agree with Michael John Kowalchuk when it comes to a few rich and powerful people in a ultra-powerful nation being allowed to endlessly torment masses of people in a nearby and much-weaker nation.

A Street in Cuba in 2025

 ....One That Americans Never See!!

       One of the Caribbean's greatest photographers, Roberto Suarez, took this photo on a street in Pinar del Rio, the tenth largest city in Cuba with a population of 191,081.

   The city of Pinar del Rio is the capital of Pinar del Rio Pronince, which is on the western tip of Cuba just a short and scenic bus ride from Havana. Americans have heard about Havana; they should know about the city and province of Pinar del Rio.

     The unique and incomparable Vinales Valley in Pinar del Rio Province is, of course, a UNESCO World Heritage Center. Few Americans have seen Vinales Valley, especially since the Cuban Revolution won in 1959 and especially since 1962 when the endless U. S. Embargo against Cuba began. But in 2004 the Bush administration provided me a research permit to visit Cuba and I got to see Vinales Valley. I will never FORGET its incomparable uniqueness and beauty...and the warmth of the people.

     The friendly and gorgeous city of Vinales in Pinar del Rio, with a lovely little hotel, is a short and scenic bus ride southwest of Havana.

     World famed Travel Writer Claudia Tavani thinks the best way to see Vinales Valley is by biking. But many others prefer hiking, riding horses, etc.

     The author of the popular "Greta's Travels" website believes the best way to see and study Vinales Valley is on horseback. But how you choose to do so, if you can legally navigate the U. S. sanctions, there are many unique, historic, and incomparable things to see in Cuba...and not JUST Havana, Varadero Beach, etc.

     Today is January 19th, 2025. Tomorrow Donald Trump returns for his second 4-year term as The President of the United States. It remains to seen what Donald Trump and his Miami-born Cuban-American Marco Rubio as Secretary of State means for US-Cuba Relations. For sure, Cuba and the world will have to wait to see.

Cuba Says It Is Ready to be a U. S. Friend

 And Be A Good Trade Partner!!

     For sure, U.S.-Cuban Relations have been extremely war-like for many decades, and today -- January 17, 2025 -- that is no exception. But today look at the Top Cuban Headlines flashing around the world:

    But today -- January 17, 2025 -- is just three days from the pivotal day when Democrat President Joe Biden will be replaced by Republican President Donald Trump. Thus Monday, January 20th, 2025 figures to be a particularly pivotal day in U.S.-Cuba Relations.

     In three days on January 20th, 2025 when former President Donald Trump replaces exiting President Joe Biden will be a drastic turning point in U.S.-Cuba Relations. Most observers believe it will be even worse for Cuban families in Cuba and even better for Cuban families in Miami, such as Miami's Marco Rubio who will be the next ultra-powerful U. S. Secretary of State.

    But allow me a prediction: I think that President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio will actually end up making lives better for Cuban families in Cuba. My opinion is based on two things: {1} Things simply cannot get any worse than they are right now in Cuba; and {2} Trump is unpredictable and I think he will end up reining in Rubio's dire and searing hatred of Revolutionary Cuba. Trump wants a legacy that will give him credit for improving the lives of Cuban families. Of course, I am well aware that on January 17th, 2025 most Cubans in Cuba right now hate and fear two particularly men above all others --- Trump and Rubio.  And that's why I hope my prediction regarding Trump's unpredictability and concern for his legacy turns out to be correct. But I say that with two words of caution -- "STAY TUNED."
