wednesday, january 21, 2015 desperate to save his legacy, obama chooses cuba the announcement came as a welcome surprise to millions around the world who have long awaited a major change in us policy towards cuba. in simultaneous broadcasts, presidents raul castro and barack obama bridged the painful, unjustified and well-outdated gap that has tormented both nations for over half a century. in a matter of sentences, relief came to the many cubans, at home and abroad, latin americans region-wide, and people across the us and world who cheered at the declared thaw in us-cuba relations. after more than 50 years, the heads of state of both countries spoke on the telephone and agreed to reestablish diplomatic ties. the us would open its embassy in havana, and cuba would do the same in washington. it was a major breakthrough, to say the least. it was castro who was quick to remind his fellow citizens that, while applauding the decision of the first standing us president to actually improve ties with cuba, the vicious blockade imposed against his nation by washington still remains. obama was also cautious to mention that though there were concrete actions he could take towards normalizing relations with cuba, it was the us congress that had the authority to end the blockade, and not him. he did urge congress to take those steps, while lashing out a few patronizing admonitions at castro regarding democracy and human rights. without a doubt, one of the most important victories of the deal was the release of the three remaining cuban citizens, gerardo hernández, ramón labañino and antonio guerrero, unjustly held in us prisons for 16 years on charges of espionage and other crimes. even the united nations commission on human rights had condemned their trial as arbitrary and unfair, their due process and fundamental rights severely violated. these men were finally able to return home to a hero’s welcome, after an agreement was brokered between the two governments that also saw the return of a usaid subcontractor convicted on charges of subversion in cuba, alan gross, and a cuban citizen and former intelligence officer, rolando sarraff trujillo, jailed for working as a double agent for the us central intelligence agency. there is no question that this event marks a profound change in us-cuba relations and us relations with latin america. and it is a major victory for the cuban revolution, fidel and raul castro and the cuban people. over the past fifteen years, washington has lost its influence in latin america and the region has shifted significantly towards the left with socialist presidents in a majority of countries and new regional organizations that exclude the united states and canada. with the union of south american nations (unasur), the bolivarian alliance of the peoples of our america (alba) and the community of latin american and caribbean states (celac), latin america has become more integrated, sovereign, independent and powerful than ever before. the region has forged relations with china, russia, iran and other sovereign states with strong markets and technological know-how. development has excelled and with few exceptions, latin american economies are on the rise. all this has been achieved without the united states. in response, washington amped up its interference in the region, supporting coups and attempted coups against democratically-elected presidents in venezuela, haiti, bolivia, honduras, ecuador and paraguay, increasing its military presence in the hemisphere and intensifying subversive efforts to undermine latin american governments through multimillion-dollar funding of opposition movements. those actions isolated washington even more in the region and were rejected unanimously by all latin american governments, even those on the right. a growing sentiment of “patria grande” (the great homeland) has taken root in the region and only appears to get stronger every year. when obama was elected president and first attended a summit of the americas regional gathering in trinidad in 2009, he promised a new relationship with latin america, based on regaining us influence in the region. he either ignored or ignorantly misunderstood the changes that had taken place throughout latin america and had the gall to stand before 33 heads of state and high-level representatives of regional governments and tell them to “forget the past” and move forward together with the united states towards new relations. his arrogant rhetoric reminded the people of latin america the importance of consolidating and advancing their sovereignty and integration on their own terms. at that summit, a majority of nations, with the exception of the us and canada, condemned the fact that cuba continued to be excluded from the organization of american states solely because of washington’s influence. in 2012, at the next summit of the americas, president rafael correa of ecuador refused to attend in a sign of solidarity with cuba. “ecuador won’t be a part of these summits until cuba is included”, he made clear. a few months ago, well before obama and castro announced efforts to normalize relations, the government of panama had made public that cuba would be invited to the 2015 summit of the americas, which it will host. cuba has indicated it would attend. this decision was clearly a sign that washington’s influence no longer reigned in latin america – even the regional organization created by washington to dominate and control the region was now rendered irrelevant. nevertheless, obama’s move on cuba was not without immediate consequence. while there is no question that the decision to reestablish diplomatic relations, along with the release of the remaining three of the five unjustly detained cubans, is an enormous, historical victory for the cuban revolution, and a tribute to the resistance, dignity and solidarity of the cuban people, obama’s motives are not pure. the day after a well-crafted presidential speech on how us policy has failed in cuba, which acknowledged the blockade and economic embargo of cuba had been a fiasco, obama signed bills imposing sanctions on both venezuela and russia. there is little doubt that the sanctions bill against venezuela, an absurd law titled the venezuela defense of human rights and civil society act of 2014, was signed by obama to appease the small, but influential group of rabidly anti-castro, anti-chavez and anti-maduro politicians and constituents in miami who were steaming with rage from the shift on cuba. the venezuelan sanctions bill is rather ludicrous. it purports to punish officials in venezuela who allegedly violated the human rights of anti-government protestors in demonstrations that took place in february 2014. considering that the majority of those protests were extremely violent and protestors directly caused the deaths of over 40 individuals, most of whom were government supporters, bystanders and state security forces, imposing sanctions on state officials who exercised their duty to protect civilians is illogical. even more ironic is the passage of this bill while hundreds of protestors against police brutality and racism are being detained and having their rights violated in the united states, at the hands of us authorities. not to mention that the same senate that promoted this bill just released an in depth report on torture and grave human rights violations committed by cia and us military officers. the sanctions bill against venezuela goes beyond freezing the assets of a few venezuelan government officials and revoking their visas. it reaffirms the us government commitment to supporting – financially and politically – the anti-government movement in venezuela which acts beyond a democratic framework, and it authorizes the preparation of a full-on propaganda war against the venezuelan government. all of this is reminiscent of the very same failed policy on cuba that obama just renounced. so why impose the same on ve
