Cuba and the Quest for Peace
I am firmly convinced that if the United States' rationale is that Cuba must negotiate its political future with it—id est, the specific reforms that the country, in any case, must undertake organically—, then this Island has no other possible destiny than to wage war against the most powerful nation in the world. The decision between continuing to be a country that defends that sacred right to its full sovereignty and falling into the political destitution of Venezuela has already been made. Yielding to a policy—if such blackmail can even be called "policy"—that forces you to change on pain of being punished with bombs, sanctions, in short, with isolation, is suicidal. Furthermore, as I have said before, this is a dilemma artificially created by an abusive power, one that no country should have to face. And let's not even talk about the "arguments" behind labeling Cuba as a threat.
