That is truth. Catro was a communist thug. Kennedy really lost the Missile stand off. The Russians left— yes— and Kennedy agreed to NEVER DEPOSE CASTRO!! It was a Faustian bargain.
Looking at broader history and spiritual factors, I question if Cuba would really be ready to “stay free” if we could somehow have spirited the entire Castroite party out of there.
There are more events on the face of the earth which need to take place before a liberated Cuba would be able to keep itself. Shoot, the USA has much recuperation to do before it could even PROP UP an artificially liberated Cuba.
I posit that tyrants that LOOK like tyrants are probably the best tyranny that can be had if one must be chastened by a tyranny. Nobody can quite completely forget forever that they are tyrants.
