大国家与小国家：美国和古巴

Speaking of the relationship between big countries and small countries.

There are many interesting things.

There are many countries in the world.

Some countries are very big.

Some countries are very small.

Today we are going to talk about two countries.

These two countries are very close to each other.

One is in the north, and one is in the south.

The country in the north is very big.

The country in the south is relatively small.

Although they are very close.

But they are not good friends.

They have not spoken for many years.

The people of the big country do not like the small country.

The people of the small country are also not happy.

Because the big country always wants to control them.

The big country thinks the small country did wrong.

The small country thinks the big country is too bad.

So the relationship between the two countries has always been bad.

This is a problem between a big country and a small country.

This problem has existed for a long time.

Everyone is thinking about what to do.

The big country now has a new boss.

You could say he is the president of the country.

This president's ideas are very special.

He feels unhappy.

Because some countries do not listen to him.

So he wants to change other people's bosses.

He thinks it will be fine once the boss is changed.

He has already done some things.

A few months ago, he went somewhere else.

He went to a very, very far country.

He made the distant country change its boss.

He thinks this was done very well.

Because after changing to a new boss.

That distant country became obedient.

This made the president very happy.

He feels his method is right.

So he wants to do it again.

He thinks he can change many places.

He is a person who really wants to get things done.

He watches the news every day.

To see where else can be changed.

Next, what is the president thinking?

He is now looking at the small country nearby.

This small country is right to the south of the big country.

It is very, very close to the big country.

It takes only one hour to get there by plane.

But the small country's boss is not obedient.

The president of the big country thinks this is unacceptable.

He thinks this boss must be replaced.

Why does he think so?

Because the small country is too close.

If the people nearby are not obedient.

The big country will feel very unsafe.

The big country feels that those nearby must be friends.

They cannot be people who are angry every day.

So the president wants to make the small country change.

He thinks about it in his office every day.

He and his friends think of ways together.

They want to find a new boss.

To make the small country listen to the big country.

In addition, the big country wants to be number one in the world.

In the place where they live.

There cannot be anyone stronger than them.

The big country must be the most powerful country.

This is the president's most important idea.

He thinks this is for the good of the country.

In order to be number one.

He wants to make all the neighbors obedient.

Neighbors are the people who live close by.

The small country is their closest neighbor.

What if the neighbor doesn't listen?

The president thinks he must be made to leave.

And replace him with an obedient newcomer to work.

This way, the big country is truly number one.

Everyone thinks the president's demands are very high.

But the president feels he is right.

He thinks a big country should be like this.

A big country should manage many things.

This is the job of a big country.

Also, what will they do?

No one is clear about it right now.

The president has not told everyone his plan.

His friends have not spoken to the outside either.

Perhaps they are having a meeting to prepare.

Or they feel this problem is very difficult.

Because the small country does not want to change itself.

The people of the small country feel things are quite good now.

They do not want to listen to the big country.

So the big country will have to spend a lot of time.

What might they do?

For example, not buy the small country's things.

The small country has a lot of delicious fruit.

But the people of the big country cannot buy them.

The big country also won't let others go travel there.

Traveling to the small country is not allowed.

This will leave the small country with no money.

Without money, life will become very difficult.

If life is difficult, everyone will be unhappy.

If everyone is unhappy, they might change the boss.

This might be the big country's method.

The small country has its own history and culture.

They also had many problems in the past.

But they have consistently refused to listen to the big country.

They feel they are very brave.

They think their country is very beautiful.

The weather in the small country is very hot.

There is a lot of good tea there.

There is also delicious food.

But because the big country does not agree.

The people of the big country cannot go there to eat.

Although they cannot do business with the big country.

The people of the small country are still working hard.

They go to work every morning.

They get off work in the evening and go home to rest.

They feel that one day things will get better.

They hope to have more money.

But now the big country wants them to change.

This makes the people of the small country very worried.

They do not know what tomorrow will be like.

Will this matter succeed in the end?

We still do not know the result now.

Because changing a country is very difficult.

This is not something that can be done in a day or two.

It might take a year or two.

Or it might completely fail in the end.

Because there are many things in the world.

That you cannot just do well simply because you want to.

People in other countries are all watching the news.

Everyone is watching what the big country does.

If the big country does it wrong.

Other people will also be very unhappy.

So the big country must also be a little careful.

They cannot just immediately do whatever they want to do.

This matter still needs a lot of time.

We can only watch slowly.

The things we just talked about.

Are actually the issue between the United States and Cuba.

The United States is that big country.

Cuba is that small country.

The current president of the US is Trump.

Trump thinks the boss of Cuba is no good.

Trump wants Cuba to change to a new boss.

Because Trump wants the US to be number one.

He previously did some things to other countries.

Now he is starting to look at Cuba.

Everyone is waiting for Trump's next step.
