Marco Rubio Case
Florida Senator Marco Rubio admits he finds the State Department’s response to the attacks on the diplomats in Cuba “ridiculous,” in an interview that took place on Sunday, October 1st, with CBS correspondent John Dickerson.

During the interview, Rubio explains that there is “…very little that happens in Havana that the Cuban government does not know about, especially Americans working for the State department.” According to the New York Times, the attack that Rubio refers to is when approximately 20 people contracted an “unexplained sickness,” with symptoms including hearing loss, dizziness, tinnitus, visual difficulties, headaches, fatigue, cognitive, balance and sleeping difficulties after a sonar attack.

    Candidate Estrada Case Summary

    Candidate Estrada, M. received the obstacle brief and only asked two question in order to clarify what he had missed. SNC wasted little time completing his notes and assessed the obstacle for a few moments before he briefed his team. His brief consisted of all the parts of the 5 paragraph order; however, he displayed lack of confidence in his tone of voice and gave a confusing brief that bounced around the 5 paragraph order. His decision making was slow during the execution and this was displayed through lack of communication to his team. SNC did not listen to the coordinating instructions very well, as he added they could not touch an area of the obstacle that was authorized, which was part of a previous scenario. The minimal communication…

    Peter Rose Case

    When the people of the United States of America think of justice, depictions come to mind. To some, justice is represented by the Lady Justice standing strong with a long robe and scale in her hand. This scene is enough to represent the balance that is seen in the justice system hoping for a fair distribution of law, with no bias or corruption. Unfortunately as every American strives for justice to prevail, there are cases each year where this is not the case. False convictions have become prevalent in the court of law and should be addressed to be aware of such corruption. In this specific instance, Peter Rose is one of the thousands of cases each year where the accused was found guilty and later exonerated…

    Cuban Embargo (Essay)

    The Cuban Embargo was enacted in 1960 to apply diplomatic and economic pressure on the Castro administration and Cuba. In the context of Cold War Cuba, as a communist country and ally of the USSR, they posed a large threat to the US being located a mere 90 miles off the coast of Florida. After 40 years of embargo, the measure became a dated relic from a bygone era. With Castro receding from power and cold war-era communist tensions less salient in the contemporary world, it was time that the embargo was lifted. At the July opening of the Cuban embassy in Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry said, "Nothing is more futile than trying to live in the past." (Orlando Sentinel) The US made the correct move…

    John F. Kennedy's Foreign Policy Analysis

    This essential attack failed, as the Americans miscalculated and weren’t able to hit as many Cuban planes as was planned (Jones, 2008). Almost no damage was made to Castro's air force, and the failed attack gave the communist Cubans a head start at defending their nation. News about the attack spread around Cuba and the United States quickly. This one miscalculation was enough to send the United States on a downward spiral into more conflict with the communist believers. Increased awareness of this failed air raid drove Kennedy to discard ideas of a second attack. Kennedy's logic behind the discontinuation of the air raids included the fact that as the information spread, Fidel Castro would have time to react and conjure up a plan for defense and retaliation (as he still had many air planes in tact). Trained exiles in Cuba, however, were still following their plan (or assigned mission) to overthrow the dictator. On April 17th, 1961, just two days after the failed air raid (which was enough time to spread the word of American attempt to attack Cuba) the Cuban exile invasion force attacked the beaches along the Bay of Pigs (Jones, 2008). Since the Cubans had already known about the plans of the Americans, they were nothing but prepared to put up a fight, as if they were waiting for the exiles to attack. Other factors contributed…

    Embargo Current Event

    __For five decades, trade, visitation, and feeding Cuba’s economy has been banned. Though they are a communist island, America and other countries that took advantage of the embargo left Cuba out to fend for themselves. Many people left their families and haven’t seen any blood relatives in years. Barack Obama and his administration are finally starting to lift restrictions and the need for certain licenses to help Cuba build back up their economy. Many predict that American visitation will triple within this year from many Cuban natives that have not been able to leave the U.S. before now. Congress is still considering the safety of America and its citizens while lifting this embargo. U.S. companies will be able to export mobile phones, televisions, and other software to…

    Embargo on Cuba

    Fifty years ago, President John F. Kennedy’s proclamation of a full force, and all trade prohibition between the United States and Cuba was announced. The embargo prohibited American citizens from doing any type of business with Cuba, tourism to Cuba, and even providing humanitarian aid (Roger). The said embargo did not just cut the United States trade off with Cuba but made it difficult for other countries to do business with Cuba as well. Stern states, “The embargo’s extraterritorial provisions also make it extremely difficult for Cuba to do business with other countries as well (2).” The embargo has stunted the Cuban economy and limited Cuban’s access to certain food, modern technology, and useful medicines (Mead). The purpose of the embargo was to make life so difficult for Cubans that they would see error of their ways and eliminate Fidel Castro’s rule and get rid of communism. John F. Kennedy’s goal of the total economic embargo was to get the ordinary…

    Bay of Pigs Invasion

    Ever since the day Fidel Castro took over Cuba, there have been attempts to remove him from power. These attempts coming mainly from when Eisenhower and Kennedy were in office. Among these attempts included an attempt to poison him and the U.S government even tried to hire the mafia to kill him (Castañeda 264). The closest operation that came to forcing him out of power was an invasion that came to be known as “The Bay of Pigs”. The Bay of Pigs invasion was an unsuccessful attempt by Cuban exiles and the US government to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. The invasion was to take place on April 17, 1961 by an estimated 1,400 Cubans that were trained by the CIA (). Although the Cuban exiles were the ones who came up with the idea to invade and attempt to force Fidel Castro out of power, it soon became known as a United States government operation because it was financed by the U.S (). The general idea of the plan was for the Cubans to invade through the Bay of Pigs, which is located in the southern part of Cuba, and work their way towards Havana, while the United States government provided air support. The job of the United States Air Force in the invasion was to completely wipe out the small government air base in Cuba with B-26 bombers (Higgins 110). The United States painted the B-26 bombers to look like Cuban military planes so it would look like Castro’s own men turned against him.…

    Cuban Migration

    America is an immigrant nation. Since colonial times, successive waves of immigration from around the world have poured across its shores, creating the most diverse society on Earth. Cuban migration is part of this society, and not without it mishaps, the issues with the Cuban migration are unique but not new. Normal immigration from Cuba has been elusive since Fidel Castro came in to power. Over the years, the custom of Cubans fleeing by boat to the U.S. has become routine, and has reached levels of noticeable exodus. Since the last upraise of “boat people” in 1990s, the United States and Cuba worked together towards establishing safer and legal immigration, which includes frequent migrants interdicted by the U.S. Coast Guard.…

    Cuba's Fight Against HIV

    In the 1980’s, Cuba emerged as one of the leading forces in the fight against HIV in the Caribbean. The new virus stumped doctors as it ravaged and attempted to engulf the small island in disease and squalor. Fortunately, the Cuban government took fast action and put preventative measures into place to both detect and prevent the spread of the HIV virus. Cuba’s aggressive measures included testing citizens for the virus and quarantining those infected who were infected in sanatoriums. The United States has plenty to learn from the small country’s aggressive attack on HIV. If the United States followed the preventative measures that Cuba took, such as mandatory HIV testing and quarantine of HIV positive patients, it could potentially wipe out…
