Soviet Red Army Soldiers 1941-42!

USSR: Commemorating May 8-9 “Victory in Europe Day” 1945-2026! (8.6.2026)

We had to wait for the paints to arrive in the post – and I also acquired a box of 1941-42 Soviet Red Army soldiers which we have not yet assembled. The metal P40 aeroplane was purchased at the Imperial War Museum and was used by the US volunteers who fought for China against the Imperial Japanese before and during WWII. the families of these brave American men are still honoured and welcomed in China today. Of course, I include my English and Hakka Chinese grandparents. Alfred Wyles was in the first wave during D-Day, Arthur Gibson fought in the North Atlantic, and Chan Tin Sang fought in the New Territories in the People’s Militia. The USSR lost 41 million men, women, and children between 1941-1945 – 27 million dead and 16 million wounded. As allies of the UK – the Soviet Red Army carried-out the bulk of the fighting. The USSR was comprised of 15 countries – with Russia taking a coordinating role.

US Fascism Has Been Attack Cuba for Decades!

Cuba: Blockade Upon Blockade: Collective Punishment Increases! (7.5.2026)

Logically, the key sectors of the economy continue to be a direct target, such as energy, the military or defense, metals and mining, security and finance, but it does not mean that they are the only ones, because they are charged against those who provide substantial aid, financial, material and technological support. In other words, anyone can be subject to sanctions, and the result is to prevent people from entering Cuba from the large investment to that individual help that provides the medicine that a sick child urgently needs. Because the blockade and each new order, measures or strategies that expand it, that extend its scope, do nothing more than accentuate the suffering of a people, in whose collective punishment they have been committed sick with hatred and impotence.

Monument to Martyrs of Overseas Military Operations Draws Endless Stream of Visitors

DPRK: Young & Old Respectfully Visit Memorial Museum of Combat Feats of Overseas Military Operations! (6.5.2026)

The images of the dedicated soldiers so brave on the hard-fought battlefields silently dwelt in their individual photos on display but it seems that the cries they let out at their last moments throwing themselves into the enemy pillboxes and committing suicide with their last bullets and grenades still resound as an echo of eternal life, moving all the visitors, young or old, to tears.

The visitors feel great emotion surging inside them, seeing the undying pictures showing what the heroes wished and desired at their last moments and realizing how they laid down their lives to save their sacred honour as soldiers of the Korean People’s Army, turning their love for their beloved parents, wives and children into their hardened will to annihilate the enemy.

Going around the outdoor captured weaponry exhibition area, they recollect with great pride the feats of the warriors who demonstrated the ideological and spiritual superiority and invincible mettle of the Korean People’s Army by inflicting merciless death on the aggressors on alien battlefields by dint of Korean-style tactics.

China urges the U.S. to stop at once the blockade and sanctions as well as coercion and pressuring of any form against Cuba

China: US Urged to Stop Blockade & Sanctions Against Cuba! (6.5.2026)

The spokesperson made the remarks in response to the U.S. move to ramp up sanctions against Cuba. Cuba has said that the U.S.’s illegal and unilateral coercive measures are reprehensible and ridiculous.

The spokesperson said that the U.S. intensification of illicit and unilateral sanctions against Cuba gravely infringes on the Cuban people’s right to subsistence and development and violates the basic norms in international relations.

"When I Grow Up - I Want to Be Like You" - Doctor & Mum Cut from the Same Cloth!

Cuba: “When I Grow Up – I Want to Be Like You” – Doctor & Mum Cut from the Same Cloth! (5.5.2026)

“There’s a lot of fear,” he admits. “Fear of not being able, of not being on time, losing more days… It scares us. The effectiveness of the treatment is lost.”
But Yohima does not stop at lamenting. His voice tightens, becomes precise.

“Regardless of all the difficult things we go through, like every good Cuban, we have the heartbeat, the knowledge. And emotions don’t need fuel, they don’t need oil to function.”

And then he shows with pride and relief the walls of his office. Equipped with what you need to spend the night. This small and warm space has something that no blockage can frustrate: a children’s gallery. “The children, when they arrived here, did not want to cross the threshold of the door,” he recalls. A colleague had the idea of distracting them with drawings. “They were accumulating and we were sticking the drawings on the wall, some that had no color, we colored them.” The children came back and saw his work, he motivated them and wanted to bring another one. “The idea is that they make this place a place for them, where everything is fine, where everything is safe.”

Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, at the closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, at the Convention Center, on May 2, 2026, "Year of the Centennial of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz."

Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.
