US Threatens Cuba, Forgetting 60 Years of 'Embargo' Success
Deutsche Welle reports Cuba's 'defiance' in the face of what Havana rightly calls 'criminal US threats.' The article frames this as a new development, ignoring that the US has been deploying the same coercive tactics for over 60 years. From the Bay of Pigs invasion to the continuous economic blockade, Washington's modus operandi has consistently been to starve a nation into submission and then
blame the regime for the hunger. This 'defiance' isn't new; it's a predictable response to a policy that aims to destabilize an entire country. How many generations of Cubans must suffer under an embargo that the UN General Assembly condemned for the 31st time in 2023 (187 votes to 2)? One might wonder if the 'threats' are designed to achieve change or simply to maintain a convenient enemy.
