LET THE PROTEST PLAY ITSELF OUT: NO AMERICAN MILITARY BOOTS IN CUBA.

ICHEOKU says suddenly the war mongering crowd in the media are amplifying the protest in Havana and demanding that Joe Biden divert the withdrawn American troops from Afghanistan straight into Cuba. But why should America do this, one may ask; except that the Deep State military industrial complex are eager to find a new theater of conflict where to continue with their war profiteering business. Now, the protest in Cuba seems to be a promising avenue to secure a potential venture frontier, hence the drumming of support for a military incursion in Cuba by their media underlings. 

ICHEOKU condemns the current growing calls by some media personalities, in their effort to help the Deep State achieve their objective, to continue the American war business in Cuba. ICHEOKU urges Joe Biden not to commit American troops in another un-winnable war in Cuba as the country has not even begin to recover from the Afghanistan and Iraq adventures; and must avoid additional waste of scarce resources in another Jackboot adventure in the Caribbean. American troops should be allowed to rest up or better still sent to Africa where various terrorists groups are regrouping and establishing many proven grounds in effort to restart and continue their global campaign of terror. That will be a more prudent use of American troops rather than sending them to Cuba.

Citizens of many countries protest regularly against their governments as was witnessed last 2020 summer in America, when Black Lives Matter captured many American streets and nearly conquered many of American cities. No foreign country intervened to force Washington DC to comply with the protesters demands and eventually the protests resolved themselves. French people, the yellow jackets, also protested their government for a very long time but no foreign country sent troops to Paris demanding that President Emmanuel Macron comply with the demands of the protesters. From Russia to Iran to Iraq to Egypt to Nigeria to Brazil and even Mexico, there have been series of protests by the citizens against their governments and neither America nor any other country ever sent in troops to these countries to demand and enforce the issue. So, why should Cuba be any exception?

Protesting a government is a civic exercise which citizens regularly engage in as they dare entitled to do as a matter of right. Those governments being protested also have a duty to maintain law and order by preventing such protests from getting out of control and also actively ensure their own survival as a government. Recall that not too long ago, there was the EndSARS protest in Nigeria which lasted for several days before the government forcefully quelled it. ICHEOKU did not remember hearing any of these media personalities Cuban apologists who are now urging for an American military intervention in Cuba, express the same opinion that the Marines should be sent into Nigeria to enforce the EndSARS protesters' demands of the Muhammadu Buhari government. So, why now Cuba? 

Protest is an internal affairs matter of any country and should be allowed to resolve themselves internally in an acceptable manner without any foreign military intervention. The most any outside country can do is to urge restraint on the part of the government and encourage them not to use excessive force to muscle their way through quelling the protest. Therefore there is no reason or justification whatsoever to act differently in the matter of the ongoing protest in Havana by sending in American troops to Cuba. Good enough Cuba is very close to America and it will be very easy to monitor how the government in Havana handles the protesters and ensure that they are not manhandled and that no excessive use of force was applied in quelling the protest. 

It is also important that the Cuban protesters remain peaceful and must not be destructive as is currently the case in South Africa, where hooligans have been looting, burning and destroying properties and businesses under the false flag of protest against Jacob Zuma's imprisonment, which have so far cost over 70 people their lives. Which reminds ICHEOKU, where are these American media personalities Cuban apologists call for American troops to be sent to South Africa, since from their present Cuban disposition, America is a world's policeman whose troops must be sent into countries with any internal disputations and disagreements including citizens protests. 

Meanwhile, Haiti which is bedeviled with real security problems resulting from the assassination of its president and whose authorities have asked for American military assistance to help secure the country is yet to receive a favorable response from Washington DC. It is also noteworthy that these American media personalities Cuban apologists have no revved up interest in the Haiti crisis such as would make them  also be as vocal in urging Joe Biden to render the sort help to Haiti. Possibly, because Haiti is black and Cuba ain't black, the reason for the dichotomy of views on where American troops should be sent as a matter of urgency. 

ICHEOKU says while Haiti has a real problem, Cuba does not; as they still have a government in place and even an improved version of the same one which they have had for several decades. The only fear now is that feeling spooked by the protest which was coordinated using the Internet and social media, the government in Havana might be forced to pull back some of the recently granted freedoms being enjoyed in Cuba. If that happens, it will be a real setback which Cubans inadvertently brought upon themselves, but even that still does not rise to the level of emergency for calling for American troops deployment in Cuba. 

Such a move will have adverse consequences as it might force Russians back in that hemisphere. Even Venezuelans, Iranians and the Chinese might be drawn into that geopolitical space, further compounding the problem. Such congregation of proven American adversaries  will not bode well for regional peace, safety and security of the Caribbean and of course America. The Syria experience is an example of what a Cuba "invaded" by America might and up looking like and nobody wants that in this hemisphere. Therefore, it is better that America does not open the pandora's box or break the Cuban fragile State because the over 11 million Cubans might be too many immigrants to contend with at the Florida border. 

Therefore, we must say no to another American military intervention in Cuba and let Cubans and their government sort their protest out. American troops have earned their well deserved temporary rest from waging war and should be allowed to enjoy their reprieve from Afghanistan until another justifiable theater of war opens up somewhere, but definitely not in Cuba. Please Joe Biden stand firm and resolute and not succumb to the Deep State military industrial complex to provide them with another theater of conflict. #NoMoreWars and not in Cuba.
