We are living in complex times in which U.S. imperialism is manifesting itself in an extremely aggressive manner, with greater violence and disregard for international law and the sovereignty of peoples, but with a desperation that translates into increasingly irrational decisions that openly threaten not only world peace but the future of all humanity. What we are witnessing is nothing less than the continuation of a process that began with the very founding of the United States, a process that took shape in the confrontation between two diametrically opposed models: the Monroe Doctrine and the Bolivarian Doctrine.

Marco Rubio, flanked by advisors, oversees from a US intelligence center the digital fabrication of pretexts using AI to justify an aggressive escalation against Cuba.
The United States government, under the Trump administration and with Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, has deployed a sophisticated propaganda operation to construct a pretext justifying an aggressive escalation against Cuba. Behind this scheme are Mauricio Claver-Carone and Jeremy Lewin, the principal architects of a strategy that seeks to introduce the narrative of a “Cuban threat” into public opinion to pave the way for an intervention with the least possible political cost.

Sovereignty is the only unforgivable crime. The pardon of Washington’s ally Juan Orlando Hernández amid an uptick in the US war on drugs signals that trafficking is forgivable, even pardonable, in an ally. (more…)

Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz responded admirably to the riots in Havana, August 5, 1994 photo: Granma Archives.
No force is greater than that of example. This was demonstrated by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz on August 5, 1994, when he led the response to the riots that broke out in Havana—just as, more than three decades earlier, he had stepped down from that tank at Playa Girón—for throughout his entire life he was always on the front lines of danger.

Amid this chaotic situation we’re living through—where survival is paramount, and resilience, resourcefulness, and a resigned acceptance of the inevitable prevail—we’re gradually acquiring qualities we never imagined. Those who push us to the limit, impose cruel restrictions on us, and force us into a permanent state of vigilance that wears down our central nervous system—that is, our entire body—failed to calculate the intrinsic nature of the Cuban people: the stubborn strength to invent, to stay afloat, to transform mechanisms and things that were previously unimaginable. This kind of resilience isn’t found in any manual. It’s something we’ve gradually acquired over many years of deprivation and the resulting workarounds. (more…)

The truth is, I had promised myself I would avoid the temptation to analyze the statements and behavior of Argentina’s president. The reason: to keep myself as far away as possible from a figure as despicable as the occupant of the Casa Rosada.
