    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?
