Maybe. But also, if the regime falls, you know who will become richer and more healthy? ALL CUBANS!

If bad people do the right thing for the wrong reasons, we should be thankful, not angry.

Oh yes. We've seen so many US invasions for the purpose of regime change end up with prosperity for the citizens of those countries.
South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, Afghanistan (although Biden fucked up and pulled out), and Iraq. That's a pretty impressive list.
Should the Cubans that will inevitably be killed along the way be thankful as well? Or the Cubans currently suffering due to the blockade?

Even for clearly despotic regimes, overthrowing them is not the obviously right thing.
