Background on the Situation
The Cuban dictatorship experienced a tactical victory with a bitter undertone at the United Nations. For the first time, the 191 votes condemning the alleged blockade were reduced to 165. The abstentions, rejections, and notable absences revealed that fewer countries believe the dictatorship’s lies.
Key Players and Their Stances
Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Costa Rica led the charge in distancing themselves from the false narrative of the blockade. By abstaining and rejecting, they made a groundbreaking decision: to say no to the Cuban regime and its fraudulent diplomacy.
El Salvador and the Dominican Republic also expressed their disassociation from the dictatorship. Both countries left their seats empty at the UN, sending a powerful message: they no longer believe in the blockade hoax and refuse to participate in this charade.
Mexico, on the other hand, has shown global shame. The Aztec nation subsidizes Cuba with oil and voted in full support of a regime that tortures, imprisons, and disappears its citizens. The Estrada doctrine holds no value; Mexico interferes and empowers the oldest and most notorious dictatorship in the Americas.
Syria made history by distancing itself from the Castro regime for the first time in 50 years. The iron-fisted regime now seeks to join the modern world and position itself on the right side of history.
Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, Bosnia, and Romania also distanced themselves from Cuba, recognizing the communist regime as a tropical branch of Russia. It is not a victim but an aggressor willing to invade any sovereign state.
Ukraine opposed the blockade farce and condemned Cuban mercenaries. The island continues to send thousands of soldiers to invade Kiev with Vladimir Putin’s blessing, trading in the hunger and desperation of a people.
European Allies and the Cuban Dictatorship
While the Cuban people endure a living hell, the dictatorship continues to receive benefits and aid from some European allies. These romantically steadfast supporters believe in communism, despite Cuba being a pure and harsh dictatorship.
Debunking the Blockade Myth
The blockade is a myth; it does not exist. US Ambassador Mike Waltz clarified this, stating, “Cuba has always been allowed to import food, medicine, and humanitarian aid.” Last year, the US exported goods to Cuba worth over $500 million.
US chicken in Cuba. The island receives thousands of products from Canada, China, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and an endless list of nations. The most consumed chicken in Cuba comes from the US, which buys poultry products worth up to $300 million.
Wealthy Military, Poor Population
While the military accumulates billions of dollars in offshore bank accounts controlling companies and hotels, the people suffer from hunger and live in crumbling buildings.
Conclusion
This is just the beginning. The UN vote clearly shows that the US is back and willing to play a leading role on the global stage. It will no longer turn a blind eye when it comes to Latin America’s oldest and most criminal dictatorship.
