Cuba: Country which has maintained dignity under difficult circumstances of economic blocade and collapse of Soviet Union
In many cases, people criticize Cuba for
the reason of poverty as a country. However, a little thought shows that an
economic blockade has been imposed on Cuba by the U.S. for many years. There
are no starving people in Cuba, while in North Korea, which has also suffered
economic blockade, there are many starving people. The second article below says
that Cuba has no beggars. According to the article, in Cuba people are proud of
themselves, yield to none, and live a poor life with dignity.
There are so many traitors who sell their
souls for money and sell their own people. However, Cuba has persisted in the
spirit of independence to the last because they believe that freedom is the
most important. Their poverty is based on such spirit.
Even Russia led by Putin has plunged into
crisis due to U.S.-led economic sanctions but has barely escaped from the crisis
in solidarity with China. Judging from Russian case, we can see how difficult
situation Cuba, who had lost assistance due to economic blockade and collapse
of Soviet Union, has been in. Cuba is a splendid country which has no people
who have died of starvation and provides free national education and medical
service.
From this point of view, I think that one
of the most miserable countries in the world is Japan.

Excerpt from the Japanese version of Russia NOW
– November 27, 2016 –
“I’ve
come to liberate Cuba.”
On November 26, former President of the
Council of State Fidel Castro, who caused the Cuban Revolution and led the
anti-American socialist government, died at the age of 90.
<snip> Russian President Putin called Castro
as the “symbol of an era in modern world history”. He also expressed his
condolences to the people and government of Cuba by saying “Castro has managed
to build a free and independent Cuba that became an influential member of the
international community and served as an inspiration for many countries and
peoples.” (The rest is omitted)

Expert
says Cuba will continue policy even after Mr. Fidel Castro’s death.
Although
the leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro died, the country will continue
domestic affairs policies, the historian, Evgeny Astanof, a professor at Moscow
State institute of International Relations and Russian International Affairs
Council member, says to RIA Novosti.
Mr. Fidel Castro died aged 90 on Friday at
22:29 hours (on Saturday at 6:29 local time in Moscow).
“Revolution as armed struggle has long
gone. I think that revolution in the sense of improvement of people’s life will
continue. In spite of normalized relations with the U.S., the aim of revolution
still remains,” Mr. Astanof says.
According to him, living standard in Cuba remains
very low.
“Cuba aims
at treating humans as humans in spiritual life. The country has no beggars. In our case, the country was filled
with beggars, while in Cuba people are proud of
themselves, yield to none, and live a poor life with dignity. Cuba has
the best medical science at least on cancer and has splendid biotechnology. In many aspects, they serve as a model of progress and life to
us.”
“Revolution
will continue not in the sense of barricade or “maidan” but in the sense of spirituality. We
rarely see such Cuban people that have pride and sovereignty. However,
changes or reformation will continue and people who call for reform line will
appear. However, the country will not become a country which depends on the
dollar system and a reformation will be conducted toward improvement of people’s
life,” he says.
