If you look at the prior conversation, you'll see that it isn't centered on the question you are posing here. There was a statement that Cuba's only "transgression" was a desire to not be a US puppet state. That is a false claim. Ignoring the language of "vehement" this and "opposed" that, I believe that my prior comment addressed your question. The present regime in Cuba is a direct descendent of the 26th of July Movement that orchestrated the Cuban Revolution in the 1950s. Cuba continues to be governed by the same faction and ideology that governed the island for four decades of the USSR's existence.
