Counterfactual history is a fun game, but there aren't any rules. I think it's more likely, for instance, that Cuba would have just been invaded and 'restored' after its Communist revolution, since the Russians wouldn't have had the ability to project the kind of power that they did during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But like, who knows? Maybe Colombia would have conquered the entire Spanish speaking world and tried the Rio Grande.
