The only certainty is that economic sanctions have utterly failed to bring down the regime and liberalize the system. With normalization comes American money and tourism. The U.S. will have a stronger foothold in Cuba. More influence than before, and a potentially positive one. Trade and tourism are more likely to influence regime changes than isolation.
Something doesn't seem to make sense here. The sanctions haven't brought down the regime (even though that is not the only purpose), so we should now lift them? And instead of having sanctions, we should now prop up the regime? Huh???
Maybe we should do that with individuals too. If prisons are no reforming inmates, let's shut them down and help inmates become better criminals.
