Cuba:

The conventional wisdom (fed by 50 or so years of Press
misreporting and lies) is that Cuba is a prison state with people living in dreadful abject poverty.

The Cuba of Batista, prior to Castro, was in terrible shape, unless you were a wealthy landowner or associated with the imported U.S Mafia running the gaming industry.

If you look here:

theglobalist.com

you see that something has happened in Cuba over the years and the general wellbeing of people is vastly improved.

However, it is NO golden Democracy because there is ONE boss man. Elsewhere in the world the U.S. LOVES boss-men, provided that they can be BOUGHT and will do things the way the U.S.
wants. Castro has never signed on for that sort of thing which he considers a total betrayal of the people.

So far as having a Regime-Change Czar for Cuba is concerned, would a GENUINE, peace-loving DEMOCRACY ever even CONSIDER such a thing, or would it mind its gucking business?

The answer to that question tells you that the problem is MUCH more the U.S. than it is the tiny, and economically insignificant island of Cuba.

Namaste!
