US Blockade: Is Havana's Resilience Defying Economic Warfare Since 1960?
US actions against Cuba include designating the nation a threat to national security and enforcing an oil blockade, with threats of military aggression to force regime change.
Commentary alleges the US policy mirrors a Lester Mallory memo strategy, aiming for 'hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.' Furthermore, critics point out the blockade's alleged extraterritorial reach, disrupting British entities and impacting the London embassy's daily functions. Conversely, Cuban Ambassador Ismara Mercedes Vargas Walter cited Cuba's swift pivot toward renewable energy and strong popular unity.
