Cuba Expert William LeoGrande: “The U.S. Is Waging Economic War against Cuba”
William LeoGrande is one of the foremost experts when it comes to Cuba-U.S. relations.
He is a professor of government at American University and has written and edited several books about Cuba and U.S. Cuba policy.
Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández sat down with LeoGrande in Washington D.C. to discuss the U.S.’s ongoing economic war against Cuba.
LeoGrande explains the reason behind Biden's labeling of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, shows why changing Cuba policy would not affect Democrats in this year's elections and breaks down how U.S. sanctions have made the human rights situation in Cuba worse.

What do Cubans Think of Russian Ships in Havana?
Просмотров 21 тыс.День назад
In 2014, Barack Obama announced new relations with Cuba. U.S. cruise ships from Miami filled Havana’s port. Now, Russian warships have taken their place. Trump and Biden rejected Obama’s opening in favor of a return to the Cold War policy of economic warfare. Under siege from the U.S, Cuba has sought support from its allies. We ask Cubans what they think about the visit of the Russian and the U...

A bipartisan delegation of agriculture commissioners from seven U.S. states, three Democratic and four Republican, traveled to Cuba to meet Cuban farmers and explore business opportunities.

    The Cuban people are amazing people. But the American people need to understand the reality of Cuba. The problem with Cuba is not the citizens of Cuban or the people. The problem with cuba is the few people that have been in power since the revolution. The Cuban people have no freedom to speak and to say how they feel about the government or speak about the Cuban economy in Cuba or even talk about the free healthcare. They might have free healthcare, but if there is no medicine, it really doesn't matter free healthcare. If you walk to the street of Havana, you see the deterioration of the beautiful city of Havana. The kids go to sleep without food. They are lucky to eat once a day. This same rule applies to the elderly people in Cuba. In conclusion, Cuba is a paradise where the Cuban people are starving to death because there is no food, no medicine, and most importantly, there is no freedom to make your dreams come true. Comunismo or communism is an ideology that, in real life, does not work. Cuban is controlled by a group or dictators that the only thing they want is to stay in power and control everything that the Cuban people have. Is sad when thousands of Cuban people want to risk their life in a raft just to make it to the Promise Land USA. You have to be a Cuban and leave in Cuba to understand what exactly is going on in Cuba. I ended up with this. PATRIA Y VIDA.

    What has Cuba done to the US? Fidel Castro seized US companies assets in Cuba that were valued at over $1.9 billion in 1972. That's why the US imposed sanctions on Cuba.

    Cuba is in constant need of fuel supplies used to generate electricity. It's a shame that the United States is unwilling to open trade to help with supplies including relief from natural disasters such as hurricanes. Likely that there is no embargo's preventing humanitarian aid but still a lapse in trade.

    Yes the Cubans are letting the Chinese Spy on American military bases in Florida, Georgia and other southern states. Those Spy bases do exist. Hence why we will keep the sanctions on Cuba. No country in this hemisphere is allowed military ally ship with Communists wether it be the Chinese the Russians or anyone else. You can do business with Communist countries but there will be no sharing military intelligence secrets or threatening America from Cuba or anywhere else South of Mexico.

    The U.S.A (Govt) is a pos and always has been. Its people and citizens are the most gullible, naive, indictrinable most influencable people on the face of the earth because you can tell them anything... You can even piss on their heads and they'll call it rain. Dont believe me? One hundred eighty two million believe the government, governmentors, govern_ mentals, (the people who govern your mental) cares about them, And cuba is a threat. Fidel Castro outlasted ten u.s. c.e.o's in a 49-50 span. There was never a threat from cuba ever. All smoke & mirrors, dog & pony show, hence the term; "panem et circenses ( bread and circus's) to distract. The greatest strategy of an opponent is to get tou to believe you aren't at war with him.

Well, maybe Russia has been asking NATO and the United States the same question for the last 10 years, what are their bases constantly doing around its territory? They are located in other countries, a strange question. Or what, the US government doesn’t like this because it creates additional political and military pressure?! How ironic.
