Washington has had it in for the socialist state since the day it came into existence in 1959.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who detest the regime in Cuba point to its impoverished economic situation, of course, to justify their position, arguing the commonly held narrative that \u201c<em>socialism doesn&#8217;t work, that&#8217;s why they are poor<\/em>.\u201d But is this not more illustrative of a bigger and more obvious truth? That the United States is more responsible for the economic catastrophe in Cuba than the authorities within that country, through its brutal 60-year long embargo against it that has blocked trade and investment. Recently, the Trump administration purposefully tightened the noose with its opportunistic rendering of Havana as a \u201c<em>state sponsor of terrorism<\/em>\u201d&nbsp;\u2013 and Joe Biden has shown no interest in changing this policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s consider a couple of questions: Why does the United States political class have it in for Cuba so much? Is Washington really motivated by benevolence and altruism and a desire to extinguish a brutal authoritarian state? Mike Pompeo once called Cuba a \u201c<em>threat to the world<\/em>\u201d on Twitter, but this is plainly ridiculous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Cuban government poses a threat to the world and its own people. As your Secretary of State, I designated it a state sponsor of terrorism, and we implemented sanctions. Now, American leadership must be clear: we stand with the freedom-loving people of Cuba. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SOSCuba?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SOSCuba<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Mike Pompeo (@mikepompeo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikepompeo\/status\/1414387473120174080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real reason, which also ties into the ideological dynamic, is inherently geopolitical: it\u2019s a Communist regime sitting on America\u2019s doorstep. The US approach towards Cuba stems from a foreign policy logic known as the \u201c<em>Monroe Doctrine<\/em>\u201d \u2013 whereby the US sees it as a necessity, to uphold its own sense of security, to maintain complete political dominance in the western hemisphere at all costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a nutshell, no regime or state which is different or diametrically opposed to US interests within the Americas is allowed to exist, or at the least, succeed. Since the 19th century this has translated into a set of foreign policy actions which have sought to crush, curtail or influence such countries at all costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been achieved through a variety of means, including outright invasion (Haiti, Panama, Grenada), military coups (Chile, Costa Rica), promulgation of civil war (El Salvador) or crushing sanctions (Venezuela) and since the Cuban revolution and rise of the Castros, Havana has been in the firing line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the span of 60 years or so, the United States has pursued a number of brutal policies to try and end or curtail the regime. This has included a reported 634 assassination&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/storyline\/fidel-castros-death\/fidel-castro-cia-s-7-most-bizarre-assassination-attempts-n688951\" target=\"_blank\">attempts<\/a>&nbsp;against Fidel Castro by the CIA, the botched Bay of Bigs invasion in 1961, and the signature US trade embargo and other sanctions, which have been repeatedly&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2021\/06\/1094612\" target=\"_blank\">condemned<\/a>&nbsp;by international bodies. America\u2019s obsession with all out-regime change in Cuba led the island to look for support from the Soviet Union, which led to the Cuban missile&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cuban_Missile_Crisis\" target=\"_blank\">crisis<\/a>&nbsp;of 1962.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cold war is long over, but the US obsession with Cuba is not. While the Obama administration was pragmatic enough to end this legacy by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/the-press-office\/2016\/10\/14\/presidential-policy-directive-united-states-cuba-normalization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">normalizing<\/a>&nbsp;relations with Havana, the Trump administration quickly reversed it, motivated by a mix of neo-Monroe hegemonic politics, neo-Conservative fanaticism and supporting the Miami anti-communist Cuban lobby.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It decided to tighten the sanctions noose, severely limiting assistance to the country, while the Treasury department restricted the passage of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/system\/files\/126\/cuba_fact_sheet_20201026.pdf\">remittances<\/a>&nbsp;back into the country (amounting to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2020\/nov\/01\/cuba-remittances-us-sanctions-western-union\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$3 billion<\/a>&nbsp;per annum),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/latino\/because-trump-sanctions-western-union-remittances-come-end-cuba-n1248790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">forcing<\/a>&nbsp;Western Union to close 407 outlets. In addition, the presidency limited trips to the country and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/system\/files\/126\/cuba_fact_sheet_20200923.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restricted<\/a>&nbsp;imports of a number of Cuban products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact of Covid has left the country suffering deeply, adding to the weight of these sanctions, and triggering the unrest. While the western mainstream media narrative has focused on these, there have also been demonstrations in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KawsachunNews\/status\/1414374621336514562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">support<\/a>&nbsp;of the revolution, but these have been ignored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a whole, Cuba isn\u2019t a failure; it is a country that, despite being subjected to endless and overwhelming US pressure, has otherwise held itself up well. Rather than making misleading arguments about the \u201cfailure of socialism\u201d, we have to look at the bigger picture of the bully boy superpower Cuba sits right next to, and its determination to undermine the island every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">source: RT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuba\u2019s 11m people aren\u2019t suffering food shortages and poverty because of communism &#8211; but because its bully boy neighbour has spent 60 years seeking to<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/anti-government-demos-in-havana-are-not-evidence-that-socialism-doesnt-work-theyre-caused-by-crippling-us-sanctions\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4199,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5258,"url":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/cubas-u-s-backed-pop-culture-dissidents\/","url_meta":{"origin":4816,"position":0},"title":"Cuba\u2019s U.S.-Backed Pop-Culture Dissidents","author":"Editorial Team","date":"September 30, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Yotuel Romero Over the past decade, Washington has spent millions to cultivate anti-government rappers, rock musicians, artists, and journalists in Cuba, Max Blumenthal reports.\u00a0 \u201cMy people need Europe, my people need Europe to point out the abuser,\u201d Yotuel, a Spain-based Cuban rapper, proclaimed in an EU parliament event convened by\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Featured&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Featured","link":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/category\/news\/featured\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/yotel.jpeg?fit=474%2C389&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":743,"url":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/ramping-up-the-illegal-blockade-of-cuba\/","url_meta":{"origin":4816,"position":1},"title":"Ramping up the illegal blockade of Cuba\u00a0","author":"Editorial Team","date":"June 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Well there we have it: the much heralded \u201cthaw\u201d in cold war aggression against Cuba emanating from Washington has proved the late Fidel Castro right, again.\u00a0 US President 45 just reversed the tiny amelioration introduced by US President 44 in the criminal sanctions regime imposed against the people of Cuba\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;US Aggression&quot;","block_context":{"text":"US Aggression","link":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/category\/usa\/us-aggression\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Office-of-Foreign-Assets-Control.jpg?fit=808%2C526&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Office-of-Foreign-Assets-Control.jpg?fit=808%2C526&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Office-of-Foreign-Assets-Control.jpg?fit=808%2C526&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/Office-of-Foreign-Assets-Control.jpg?fit=808%2C526&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":3139,"url":"https:\/\/www.cubasupport.ie\/latest\/corporate-media-bias-against-the-cuban-revolution\/","url_meta":{"origin":4816,"position":2},"title":"Corporate Media Bias Against the Cuban Revolution","author":"Editorial Team","date":"November 9, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"BY\u00a0KEITH BOLENDER\u00a0 Since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the United States has inflicted various forms of punishment upon the island nation in order to affect regime change.
