I believe Cuba is just collateral damage in the bigger things going on, but if the US can snatch away one of Putin's toys at an opportune time and turn the screws a little harder, why not?

Cuba will happy accept economic aid from the US (in the form of lifted sanctions) in the light that the Russian oil industry faces the possibility of collapse. Everyone expects a sudden humanitarian/tourist opening, but I don't believe that's going to be as quick.
