RE: The Latin American Report # 507

I agree with you on both points, while considering that the country is going through an extremely serious socio-economic moment. I believe that countries such as Russia, China, Venezuela, Mexico, or Brazil, which, among friends and allies, are the most likely to support Cuba in surviving these circumstances, are simply making political and economic calculations that do not offer them many incentives to act with more strength to generate the humanitarian assistance that the island demands. I like to be clear in this regard because there is a lot of rhetoric that speaks of solidarity and understanding, but I see little practical realization--i.e., that touches people in a tangible way--of announced agreements and commitments. Thanks for your regular and sound feedback here my friend, which is always helpful in one way or another.
