Cuba: Assessing the Cuban Challenge in the “Central American Games” – Wrestling, Boxing & Gold Prospects in an Uncertain World! (12.7.2026)

The bulk of the debate focused on boxing, wrestling, Judo and Taekwondo. In Boxing, with only seven men’s divisions (compared to twelve in golden times) and one women’s division still without the necessary strength, the hosts placed their hopes in names such as Alejandro Claro Fiss from Sancti Spiritus – bronze medallist in two world championships and third in the global ranking – Saidel Orta, Erislandy Álvarez and Julio César La Cruz. However, they warned that the former “flagship boxing” is no longer the same: the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela have grown and will present very competitive squads. The forecast: four golds out of a possible seven would be an excellent performance, although not easy.

Cuba: President Miguel Díaz Canel: “Whoever Rises-Up for the Cuban People – Rises-Up for All Time – What is Being Done to Cuba Can Be Done to Anyone!” (4.7.2026)

They were able to stop the action of an elite force of the United States that surpassed them in technology, in numbers, in weapons and, in addition, because of the element of surprise. And yet, they fought heroically. There were thirty-two of them. What will not become of millions of Cubans willing to defend their homeland, to defend the Revolution?

Cuba: Why is Guantanamo Bay Still Occupied by the United States? (27.6.2023) 

In 1861, the American Civil War broke out. The war ended with the victory of the North. The victory of the North led to the rapid development of capitalism in the United States, and the United States gradually replaced Britain and France as the world’s manufacturing power, gradually preparing the country for external expansion. A wealthy and confident United States, with an expanding population and an abundance of natural resources – was ready for the development of a World Hegemony! (The Chinese language text talks of the US as a maturing bird spreading its growing and developing wings – which are full of power – and preparing to ‘fly’ to expand its territory).
