The Cuban gov would trade with the US if there was some way to end the sanctions and save face. But I don’t see that happening.

Openly hostile lmao it’s such a tiny insignificant island nation- I never understood why the US should be afraid of Cuba - they are just vengeful after losing assets in the revolution. They managed to stamp every single one out in Latin America but viva was defiant.

It’s all about ideology not an actual threat that Cuba would pose

lmao wait until you find out how much damage a nuclear warhead can do and how small they are. They can even fit on a tiny insignificant island nation!

You can fire nukes from anywhere on the globe nowadays… Cold War was over before I was born, yet you’re still salty

ICBMs existed back then as well. If the nuke comes from too close, there is no ability to react with early warning systems. That was the core problem with Cuban Missile Crisis.

Good point. Probably shouldn't be concerned about Russia either then!

Why should I be concerned about Russia? They tried invading my country many times in the last centuries and it always failed - what is significantly different in this iteration?
