    could

    cui bono is a highly effective razor for determining the motivation of pretty much anything the regime does at this point, because they don’t do anything unless they can make some cash off of it at some level.

    Guasanos have been talking about reclaiming Cuba for over 70 years.

    The New York Times reported the administration is seeking to oust President Miguel Díaz-Canel from power while allowing the island’s Communist government to remain in place — a repeat of what they allowed in Venezuela — and giving Trump a “symbolic win.”

    the Atlantic noted that plans could also give “wealthy Republican donors with Cuban ancestry” leadership roles in a transition or even permanent government.

    How on earth is this supposed to work, exactly?

    Why would domestic Cubans submit themselves to overseas authority without a massive security state capable of enforcing control?
