Text of the page (random words):
lings towards the united states its culture people or government they are merely patriotic rejoinders to perceived planned aggressions of the united states against cuba s determination to be free to compare marti s feelings towards the united states to fidel castro s is a complete tergiversation of history the later abominates its capitalistic society laws form of government freedom and openness all of them qualities esteemed by jose marti while the former predominantly expressed admiration for the egalitarian nation until he observed that the united states was certainly planning to interfere with the emancipation of his idolized homeland in modern day cuba jose marti s figure and ideas are artificially interrelated with fidel castro s doctrines the communist absolutism has accomplished this by misrepresenting the apostle s attitudes and placing his opinions out of context in an effort to legitimize their ignominious political and social systems in this essay we have demonstrated that the dictatorship s central assertions buttressing the conception they advance are inaccurate and deceiving jose marti was not a communist sympathizer he rejected and criticized the ideology he did not favor one party government he idolized freedom and genuine democracy his partido revolucionario cubano shared no similarities with the cuban communist party the former s intention was to liberate the nation the latter is to subjugate it he did not execrate the united states like fidel castro and his government do he admired all the noble and democratic qualities of this great nation and only commenced to criticize it when he felt that the independency of his beloved cuba was at stake one day when cuba becomes free we hope that articles like this will help the cuban people to open their eyes and realize that they have been historically deceived the leading intention of this work is to serve as a guide to those who want to comprehend the distinctions that exist between pensamiento martiano and ideologia fidelista the author is convinced that this objective has been categorically achieved 1 comentario publicado en soñándome en otras cosas etiquetas jose mart vs fidel castro jose marti communist jose marti s views marti not a communist posteado por carli c4 abril 13 2014 sourire sourire your smile reminds me of someone that i used to love y mucho por eso vuelvo al

and the cuban embargo the cuban missile crisis and the cuban embargo the united states and cuba have experienced a gradual crumbling of their political relationship ever since the island became communist in the early sixties as a result of these tensions the superpower has implemented diverse procedures in order to enfeeble and keep its close neighbor regimented some of these strategies have been extremely valuable when dealing with major crises but others have proved to be totally unproductive and offensive to the international community the cuban missile crisis illustrates an instance in which the united states especially john f kennedy and his advisors was highly effective in dealing with a tense and potentially lethal emergency this specific course of action was praised around the world and the american superpower was recognized for preventing a global catastrophe the cuban embargo contrariwise has demonstrated that it is a profoundly incompetent and ignorant approach to the cuban conundrum the perpetuation of these inhuman prohibitions have received a strong wave of universal criticism the examination of these divergent behaviors provides us with an insight into the ambivalent perceptions the international community has towards the united states fidel castro s victory in 1959 represented a substantial menace to the united states the superpower was entirely immersed in a cold war against the soviet empire and its bolshevik forces and the paramount fear in the minds of the american leaders was the propagation of communism the cuban hazard was especially serious mainly because of its geographic position ninety miles away from south florida all of these circumstances made the island a key player in the cold war for both superpowers in order to deter the cuban threat the united states launched a military invasion in 1961 the bay of pigs incursion was a complete disaster and the attackers were defeated in only three days the disappointed invasion bestowed credibility and international admiration on fidel castro and its fresh administration and also provided the soviet union with an excuse to safeguard its close ally in 1962 a couple of months after the invasion the soviets started to infiltrate missiles in cuba taking the united states by surprise t he most senior kennedy administration officials were uniformly convinced with one notable exception that moscow would never introduce nuclear weapons on the island cyr 2012 7 the bay of pigs invasion inadvertently led to the cuban missile crisis of 1962 one of the most frightening episodes in human history in the early months of 1962 the united states started getting reports from its military and intelligence agencies stating that the soviets were providing cuba with nuclear armament they were able to photograph sams but the evidence was not conclusive in regards to offensive missiles despite rising concern in washington there was no clearly actionable evidence of a soviet missile capability in cuba cyr 2012 8 the american superpower needed decisive proof indicating the presence of nuclear weapons on the island and the military started working intensely in order to achieve this purpose but it was not until september that they were able to produce such confirmation on september 21 washington received the first really reliable report to the effect that more than just sams were being unloaded on the docks of havana cyr 2012 7 this evidence needed to be analyzed by experts in order for washington to be indubitably certain about the precarious nature of the situation the investigation took nearly three weeks and by october 15 th the united states leadership was ready to take action instead of utilizing his whole cabinet and all of his advisers to craft a strategy in order to deal with the threat kennedy handpicked the specific people that he wanted working on this situation the group that later became to be known as the excomm had deeply divided opinions some wanted to use an airstrike against cuba and others were convinced that a peaceful resolution was achievable against realist recommendations the commander in chief decided to take a more liberal approach to the situation on october 18 president kennedy met with soviet foreign minister andrei gromyko cyr 2012 12 the purpose of this meeting was to let the soviets know that washington did not want a nuclear war with its communist enemy and that their goal was to achieve a nonviolent agreement the minister assured the president that the reports were wrong and denied the existence of nuclear weapons it seemed that the liberal methodology was not being effective on october 22 nd kennedy took a firm posture on his televised speech he announced new measures to deal with the nuclear provocation established explicit expectations made clear that noncompliance would result in military action and at the same time left a door open for political compromise both superpowers came to an agreement behind closed doors with the united states promising to remove its offensive missiles from turkey in a certain amount of time if the cuban weaponry was dismantled on october 28 moscow publicly accepted the american offer to provide a pledge not to invade cuba if the missiles were removed cyr 2012 14 nuclear confrontation and perhaps the end of the world as we know it was averted john f kennedy and the excomm dealt with this situation outstandingly by utilizing both realist and liberal strategies they were able to intimidate the aggressor and at the same time call upon compromise and nonviolent resolution the nuclear nature of this threat forced the united states to give in to some demands doing this behind closed doors was a major achievement that prevented the superpower from being perceived as impotent or ineffectual by the international community to the contrary the world applauded washington s actions and the crisis arguably gave more credibility to their cause there is no doubt that our planet came extremely close to annihilation in 1962 this did not happen in great part thanks to the way in which kennedy and his team handled the chaotic situation the crisis has been described as president john f kennedy s finest hour in a touchingly brief tenure in the white house cyr 2012 5 unlike the policies implemented during the cuban missile crisis the cuban embargo has been reprimanded universally for being both inhumane and ineffective the economic sanctions were imposed by the united states right after castro s successful revolution in 1959 while the commercial restrictions were initiated to a certain extent by eisenhower it was kennedy who imposed a full embargo on the island in 1962 borer bowen 2007 129 the chief motives behind the blockage were the nationalization without indemnification of key us industries by the socialist regime the most prominent being the united fruit company and texaco and a reforma agraria agrarian reform that similarly affected us interests in cuba fifty one years later this realist course of action continues to mark the factual basis of cuban us relationships although the embargo was perhaps the right strategy to put in place in response to the cuban violations its perpetuity has been the subject of severe criticism by almost the entire world in recent decades the three chief arguments objecting the embargo maintain that it only hurts the cuban people that the ultimate goal the removal of castro and the annihilation of communism in cuba is unattainable and that the totalitarian administration benefits from these commercial restrictions the economic constraints imposed on the island bring hunger and malnutrition to regular cubans not to fidel castro or the leadership of the preponderant communist party instead of revolting against the regime the intended purpose the people blame the united stated for the scarcity because they have been indoctrinated to believe the government s rhetoric which blames the yankis and their genocidal embargo for everything evil that happens in the country the main purpose of an economic boycott in international relations is to bring about behavioral change on the part of the target state by the state that withholds trade borer bowen 2007 129 this has clearly not been the case with cuba the dictatorship continues to oppress dissidents and abuse human rights the most troubling detail is that plenty of evidence exists corroborating that the outdated strategy allows the communist monocracy to stay alive maintaining the embargo allows castro to squash all dissent based on the national security argument that cuba is under threat from a hostile neighbor borer bowen 2007 131 furthermore his authoritarian regime uses the commercial blockade as an excuse for the poverty and underdevelopment that have resulted from their disastrous economic social and political approaches cuba venezuela the european union and almost the entire world have denounced the embargo plenty of times in the past decades cuba s proposals to end the embargo in the united nations have been approved almost unanimously since the united states is a member of the security council the passage of these gnocchi has no significance whatsoever a venue that has proved to be especially effective in resolving issues of this caliber is the world trade organization although cuba has been very vocal on their criticism towards the embargo in the un they have not utilized the wto in order to resolve their quandary castro s cuba may have decided not to challenge u s sanctions within the wto out of fear of being successful borer bowen 2007 128 this substantiates yet more how the cuban embargo is in fact in fidel and raul castro s best interests the united states urgently needs to change their approach towards cuba the cuban embargo is inhumane absurd immoral and above all ineffective the superpower needs to lift the economic blockade in order to leave the communist tyranny deprived of excuses to blame their social political and economic fiascos on both democrats and republicans have to make a stand and be strong against the political pressures to maintain the embargo that will come from influential cuban american groups in florida this course of action is not in the united states or the cuban people s best interests by perpetuating an obsolete approach that has not been practical in over fifty years the american superpower is only damaging its international image and helping its enemy hang on to power the united states like any other country has been both accurate and erroneous in their international policies and strategies the cuban missile crisis s management and the cuban...
