As soon as the older Cubans pass away, it will be much easier electorally.

People have been saying that since the mid-90s. State media simply re-inflames the old hatreds with every new generation.

No one is afraid of the Cuban economy.

UNITA and FNLA were plenty afraid. The Cuban coalition with Venezuela and Nicaragua is a perpetual thorn in the side of American policy makers. They’re the largest unaligned economy in the Western Hemisphere and a global bio-tech leader despite the sanctions.

Americans are as nakedly hostile to an independent Cuba as the CCP is to an independent Taiwan.
