Yeah but US policy towards Cuba during cold war was really US policy towards USSR so that part doesn't count ... post-cold war the reason for the policy disappeared but it's like the Japanese soldiers they would find on pacific islands twenty years after WWII had ended ... they had a hard time accepting that it was really over.

Imo within ten years most of that generation will have died of old age and it will really be over.

The end result of 48 years of "tough" US policies in Cuba was Castro maintaining power as long as he liked, retiring at a time and circumstance of his own choosing and handing over power to his most likeminded possible successor.

We almost got him with that exploding cigar, though.
