Withdrawing his troops from Afghanistan, Joe Biden said he did not want another generation of young people to be killed in the war. Less than 24 hours after this peace-loving story was hailed around the world, he stood behind Cuban protesters and began to harass the Cuban government, demonstrating his brutal warfare again.<br \/>Russia responded immediately to the new US operation, which imposed 190 sanctions on Cuba since 1962 and called on people around the world, including Mexico, Argentina and Venezuela, to send aid to the Cuban people.<br \/>A Cuban diplomat at the time said that the Obama administration had lifted some of the economic sanctions imposed by the Kennedy administration on the United States in response to the missile crisis with Russia since 1962, but that only 15% of the Yankee embargo had been lifted. A week before the subsequent Trump administration removed that 15% and left power, it declared Cuba a terrorist state and imposed another 243 sanctions, dragging the Cuban people from the pan to the hearth. Although Joe Biden promised to lift the sanctions imposed by Trump on his election platform, at the UN General Assembly on June 23 this year, his decision to re-impose these economic conditions was unanimously condemned by the majority of other member states. This victory was due to the fact that Cuba had recently been able to gain the support of the majority of countries in the world, especially European countries by sending its health teams to fight the corona epidemic.<br \/>A UN report (CEPAL) has confirmed that Cuba has lost 10% -20 (PIB) of its gross domestic product due to the collapse of its main economic supply, tourism and sugar exports, following the Corona epidemic. The country is facing a severe food shortage due to a slump in imports due to a lack of tourists and a 50% ($ 6.9 billion to $ 2.9 billion) drop in the remittances of the expatriate community. The Cuban people are in dire straits as oil shortages, power cuts, food and oil queues rise across the country. Economists point out that the main reason for this is that 70% of essential food items are imported instead of local food production and there is no dollar for that. Another reason is the recent conversion of the peso and the dollar into one currency.<br \/>Understanding this situation, the new Cuban president decided to move the country to rapid industrialization through new digital technology, but the crisis could not be exacerbated by the fact that there is a shortage of basic raw materials throughout the country due to American sanctions and that it will take some time to achieve its results.<br \/>Cuba has introduced three vaccines to combat the corona epidemic, despite heavy sanctions. By the end of this year, 70% of the total population will be vaccinated, after Argentina supplied 380,000 syringes. A new process called &#8220;Tourism and Vaccination&#8221; has been introduced to the world as a new economic project producing 100 million vaccines. The Abdala vaccine is advertised to have an efficacy of 92.28%. Observers say it is suspicious that nationwide protests have come up in a hurry despite all these economic and health achievements that have come to the fore.<br \/>Accordingly, there were sudden protests in several places in Cuba this Sunday chanting slogans to overthrow the Cuban government. At the same time, US Deputy Secretary of State Jake Sullivan said he would support the Cuban protesters and respond if the government reacted violently. In a similar statement, European Foreign Minister Josep Borrell called on the Cuban government to listen to the people on the streets.<br \/>Left-wing intellectuals say it is ridiculous that these gentlemen, who deployed police against those who took to the streets against the austerity of the liberal financial market over the past 20 years and fought for the rights of Europeans and said that street fights should be stopped should ask Cuba\u2019s leaders to listen to the voices in the streets of Cuba.<br \/>Russian Foreign Minister Sergue\u00ef Lavrov, who was the first to respond to the US response in violation of all international conventions, said, \u201cWe condemn with contempt any interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state and attempts to destabilize the country.<br \/>We are paying close attention to what is happening in and around Cuba. &#8221; Meanwhile, the Mexican and Argentine governments condemned all foreign interference against Cuba, demanded that all sanctions against Cuba should be lifted and called on progressive people around the world to send the Cuban people the much-needed food, medicine and other supplies.<br \/>Retired politician Raul Castro has said that their foreign policy will not change under any American regime and warned that behind the Trump sanctions, the Biden administration will intensify all counterrevolutionary terrorist activities in the future. Addressing the nation, Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel called on all communists and revolutionaries to go to war across the country against US-funded mercenaries and fight to the last drop of blood for socialism.<\/p>\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-comments-closed saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div class='saic-wrap-link'><a id='saic-link-14606' class='saic-link saic-icon-link saic-icon-link-true auto-load-true' href='?post_id=14606&amp;comments=0&amp;get=30&amp;order=DESC' title='0 Comments'><i class='saico-comment'><\/i><span>0<\/span> Comments<\/a><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-link--><div id='saic-wrap-commnent-14606' class='saic-wrap-comments' style='display:none;'><div id='saic-wrap-form-14606' class='saic-wrap-form saic-clearfix'><div class='saic-form-avatar'><\/div><div id='saic-container-form-14606' class='saic-container-form saic-no-login'><p>Comments are closed<\/p><\/div><!--.saic-container-form--><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-form--><div id='saic-comment-status-14606'  class='saic-comment-status'><\/div><ul id='saic-container-comment-14606' class='saic-container-comments saic-order-DESC ' data-order='DESC'><\/ul><div class='saic-holder-14606 saic-holder'><\/div><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-comments--><\/div><!--.saic-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having learned a memorable historical lesson from the Afghan people, the United States has now chosen Cuba, which has been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[97,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-smartphones","category-world-news","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
