Dear friend:

The Cuban Studies Institute is pleased to offer a short video about the history of Cuba from the Spanish colonization to the current situation. It is an excellent introduction to the history, culture, and economy of the island and also highlights Cuba’s beautiful geography.

The 26 minutes video, “Short History of Cuba,” is narrated in English by the renowned actor and producer Andy Garcia and includes subtitles in Spanish. Carlos Alberto Montaner praised the work emphasizing that “explaining Cuban history in 26 minutes is a marvel; doing it well is a miracle. The last few minutes, devoted to the Communist era, are excellent.”  Marcos Antonio Ramos described the video as “a formidable introduction to Cuba.”

The Cuban Studies Institute is making this video available to our friends and followers for $20 per copy (free shipping).

This is a valuable history of Cuba that you, your family, and children will enjoy.


Saludos


Jaime Suchlicki
Director

Cuban regime turns to advice from Russian oligarch. The Cuban oligarchs among us. Castro dictatorship taken to London's High Court to pay past debts

 
 

Castro regime's consigliere and emerging oligarch, Dr. Rodolfo Dávalos Fernández

The Castro regime's oligarchs are emerging, and the dictatorship is openly seeking advice from Russia on how to replicate their model of enriching a well-connected few while impoverishing the many. According to Nora Gámez Torres of The Miami Herald, in her article Cuba wants Russia's advice on market reforms as Putin seeks more trade with the island, "the Cuban government is turning to Russia for help with market reforms on the island through a partnership with a Russian think tank headed by sanctioned oligarch Oleg Deripaska."

The timing of this news coincides with news on January 23rd that Charles McGonigal, "a former high-ranking FBI counterintelligence official who investigated Russian oligarchs has been indicted on charges he secretly worked for one, in violation of U.S. sanctions." Days earlier on January 20th the U.S. Department of Justice arrested "two businessmen, Vladislav Osipov, 51, a Russian national, and Richard Masters, 52, a United Kingdom national" were charged "with facilitating a sanctions evasion and money laundering scheme in relation to the ownership and operation of" ... "a $90 million, 255-foot luxury yacht owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg."

When attempting to avoid paying debts, sanctions evasion and money laundering come in handy. As Mr. Putin has demonstrated in Russia, concentrating wealth in the hands of a few within the government or closely connected to those in the regime is an effective means of maintaining political power. Cuba already has crony capitalism for the well-connected regime elites and communism for the poor, but it seeks to perfect it with Moscow's help. Unfortunately, the Castro regime also has crony capitalists in the United States all too willing to help, and their Cuban counterparts are already there ready to meet with them.

Rodolfo Dávalos León is a Cuban national living in the United States who founded Caribbean Ventures Management LLC, a company incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2016, but headquartered in Coral Gables, Miami.  When protests erupted across Cuba on July 11, 2021, and the dictatorship's future in doubt, Mr. Dávalos León tweeted out "If the revolution falls you will find me in Cuba, with my father, knee on ground, rifle in hand, defending the work of Fidel. Long live Cuba, long live Raul, and long live Fidel!"

A couple of questions should naturally arise. Has the FBI looked into what he is doing? Also, who is his father?

Publicly available photos indicate that he met with Ben Rhodes in Coral Gables, and U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy in the U.S. Capitol.

His father is a highly placed confidant of Fidel and Raul Castro. Dr. Rodolfo Dávalos Fernández is a professor of International Law at the University of Havana and president of the Cuban Court of International Commercial Arbitration, according to official records.

Cuban independent journalist Ulises Fernández in a July 2021 piece for Cubanet filled in some of the gaps in the professor's official record. Dr. Dávalos Fernández was present in  "every international litigation that involved the Cuban government as defendant, plaintiff, summoned party, or even referenced entity, in matters unpleasant in nature, since they always have to do with breach of contracts, frozen bank accounts, confiscations, accumulated debts, fraudulent practices against businessmen, blackmail, espionage and psychological manipulation..."

The Cuban dictatorship is in "a high-stakes legal battle in London's High Court" trying to avoid having to pay "72 million euros ($78.18 million) on two loans" granted in the 1980s.  The Castro regime is being represented by a deep bench of attorneys, however one name stands out.  According to the regime's official media Dr. Dávalos Fernández, is "playing an essential role in the legal strategy of the case, and has extensive experience in international litigation."

Not mentioned is that he is one of the patriarchs of the new Cuban oligarchy with his children positioned with lucrative lifestyles in private companies in the United States, and Spain.

Dr. Rodolfo Dávalos Fernández with his daughter Lourdes Dávalos León

We've already touched on Rodolfo Dávalos León who is based in Coral Gables. Now let us turn to his sister, Lourdes Dávalos León, who is an attorney based in Spain, and is also a social influencer with a taste for Louis Vuitton handbags, and the finer things in life. She appeared with her dad in London to attend the ongoing legal battle in London's High Court. Video emerged highlighting their lifestyles of the rich and infamous.

The Biden Administration is fooling itself if they believe that these "entrepreneurs" will be agents of a democratic transition in Cuba. More likely, like their Russian counterparts, they will be agents of corruption in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere seeking to undermine the rule of law and democracy.

“Two Bald Men Fighting Over a Comb” (Previously published)

ShareShare
TweetTweet
ForwardForward
The 74 days war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falklands/Malvinas territories, with less than 3,000 inhabitants, claimed the lives of 649 Argentines, and 255 British military personnel, and of three Falkland Islanders. The war accomplished little and ended with the return of the islands to British control and the Argentine surrender on June 1982.
When asked about the war, the brilliant Argentine philosopher and writer Jorge Luis Borges famously wisecracked that it was like, “two bald men fighting over a comb.”

Borges’s witticism came to mind as I considered that, since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, U.S. Presidents have been unable to articulate a unified and consistent foreign policy. The geopolitical tensions of the Cold War, a term coined by English writer George Orwell, began shortly after the end of World War II, in 1945, and had as its main adversaries the United States (and its NATO allies), and the Soviet Union (and its satellite states.)

During this period, U.S. foreign policy was guided by the intellect of George F. Kennan and a group of colleagues know as “The Wise Men.” Kennan was arguably the most notable Cold War strategist having inspired the Truman Doctrine and the U.S. policy of “containing” the Soviet Union. In 1946, while serving as deputy head of the U.S. mission in Moscow, Kennan wrote his famous Long Telegram (over 5,500 words) outlining a new strategy of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

A year later, writing under the pseudonym “X”, Kennan published an article in Foreign Affairs explaining why Stalin’s policy of encircling the capitalist world could not be charmed or talked out of existence. Kennan argued that Soviet expansionism had to “be contained by the adroit and vigilant application of counter-force at a series of constantly shifting geographic and political points.” For Kennan, political, economic, and covert actions were the principal tools of containment.

In the tradition of political realism, Keenan emphasized national security based on the principle of balance of power rather than the idealist school of international relations which relies on morality. According to Keenan, American policymakers held unrealistic utopian expectations and sought to make moralistic demands on others based on legalistic concepts and a self-righteous attitude. Keenan’s strategy sought three clear objectives: to contain Soviet expansion, to deter them from acting against vital American interests, and to undermine the idea and practice of communism.

Whatever the relative merits of Keenan’s prescience, the point is that, for the nearly five decades of the Cold War, American foreign policy, under numerous presidencies, held its intellectual internal cohesiveness and consistency. This cohesiveness and consistency ultimately resulted in the defeat of the stated adversary. American Cold War foreign policy was not, “Two bald men fighting over a comb.”

Perhaps the intellectual low point of American post Cold War foreign policy formulation was expressed in 2013 by President Barak Obama. As reported in a New Yorker article by David Remmick, the President, in a display of Napoleonic hubris and historical ignorance, told the author that he did not need any new grand strategy; “I don’t really even need George Kennan right now”- but, rather the right strategic partners.  Regrettably, President Obama found his “right strategic partners” in Iran’s Hassan Rouhani and Cuba’s Raul Castro.

Unfortunately, American governing principles of democracy, free markets, limited government, human rights, individualism and more are not universal principles.   And the vital interests of our adversaries, and at times even the interest of our friends, do not mirror our own.

The formulation of a cohesive foreign policy is a difficult endeavor that requires policymakers to contemplate the unknowable. And yes, achieving national objectives often requires unsavory entanglements. Winston Churchill, acknowledging that victory over Nazi Germany required cooperation, noted that he “would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons” if Hitler invaded hell.

Lest we find ourselves fighting over an unneeded comb, it is high time that we formulate and articulate a cohesive foreign policy strategy that journeys into the arc of the possible in defense of our vital national interests. We do need a George Kennan right now.

He is currently dedicated to the in-depth analyses of Cuba's economic, social and political state, with a keen interest in post-Castro-Cuba strategies. Dr. Azel was a Senior Scholar at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies (ICCAS) at the University of Miami, Jose Azel has published extensively on Cuba related topics.

In 2012 and 2015, Dr. Azel testified in the U.S. Congress on U.S.-Cuba Policy, and U.S. National Security.  He is a frequent speaker and commentator on these and related topics on local, national and international media.  He holds undergraduate and masters degrees in business administration and a Ph.D. in International Affairs from the University of Miami.

José along with his wife Lily are avid skiers and adventure travelers.  In recent years they have climbed Grand Teton in Wyoming, trekked Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Machu Pichu in Peru.  They have also hiked in Tibet and in the Himalayas to Mt. Everest Base Camp.

They cycled St. James Way (
El Camino de Santiago de Compostela) and cycled alongside the Danube from Germany to Hungary and throughout southern France.  They have scuba dived in the Bay Islands off the Honduran coast and in the Galapagos Islands. Most recently, they rafted for 17 days 220 miles in the Grand Canyon. 

Their adventurers are normally dedicated to raise funds for causes that are dear to them.

Books by Dr. José Azel
José Azel’s writings are touched with the wisdom of a master, and the charm of an excellent communicator. Anyone who wishes to understand why countries do, or do not, progress will find in this book the best explanations. And, from these readings emerge numerous inferences: How and why do the good intentions of leftist collectivism lead countries to hell? Why is liberty not a sub product of prosperity, but rather one of its causes?

If it was in my power, this work would be required reading for all college and university students, and I would also recommend its reading to all politicians, journalists, and policymakers. With his writings Azel accomplishes what was achieved in France by Frédéric Bastiat, and in the United States by Henry Hazlitt: Azel brings together common sense with intelligent observation, and academic substance. Stupendous,

Los escritos de José Azel están tocados por la sabiduría de un maestro y la amenidad de un excelente comunicador. Cualquiera que desee entender por qué los países progresan, o no, encontrará en este libro las mejores explicaciones. De estas lecturas surgen numerosas inferencias: ¿Cómo y por qué las buenas intenciones del colectivismo de izquierda llevan a los países al infierno? ¿Por qué la libertad no es un subproducto de la prosperidad, sino una de sus causas?

Si estuviera en mis manos, esta obra sería de obligada lectura de todos los estudiantes universitarios, pero además, le recomendaría su lectura a todos los políticos, periodistas y policy makers. Con sus escritos Azel logra lo que Frédéric Bastiat consiguiera en Francia y Henry Hazlitt en Estados Unidos: aunar el sentido común, la observación inteligente y la enjundia académica. Estupendo.
