Democracy in Cuba depends on ending embargoes, not maintaining them

Photo: Yamil Lage/AFP/Getty Images in February 1962 the president of the united states, John F. Kennedy, decreed a trade embargo against Cuba. 60 Years later, the situation remains the same.. After all, por que os Estados Unidos declararam embargo contra Cuba? Quais os resultados alcançados? Ainda faz sentido a manutenção de embargos contra Cuba? A ideia de Kennedy ao declarar embargos comerciais contra Cuba era a de diminuir a ameaça que a ilha fazia aos Estados Unidos em função de seu alinhamento com o eixo comunista, lembrando que estávamos no auge da Guerra Fria.

The energy crisis and the rapprochement between Biden and Maduro

Article written by João Paulo Costa The possibility of rapprochement between two great enemies of the Americas, the United States and Venezuela, occurs as a consequence of a military dispute distant from Latin Americans, the current war between Russia and Ukraine. When deploying Russian troops to Ukrainian territory, Vladimir Putin used the allegation of a “genocide” in the eastern region committed by “neo-Nazi” troops. Para Volodymyr Zelensky, which received support from other international actors, including the United States, Russian interests go beyond this. By opting for military invasion, Putin sends a message to the adversary: Ukraine's entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, who had been making great strides in Zelensky's administration, will not be tolerated.
