Apparently the insane orange dictator wants to go after Cuba and his delusional regime seem happy to go along with it

I'd like to see them try. I don't think it will go so well. Certainly there would be US troop involvement, boots on the ground and intense fighting and casualties. I don't think they can get in and out with a strike force like they did with Maduro.

Anyone seen a good analysis of what US regime change in Cuba would look like?

Than Cuba's. And we see how that worked out for them. US would likely have air dominance over the island within hours. Ground occupation might be a different story, but a in and out like Venezuela is very likely successful.

The USSR used to be the guarantor of Cuban independence. What will Putin get for Cuba?

since Bay of Pigs, besides their roots in wingnut/mob BATISTA. Now add the Venezuela ones.

What about the other Hispanics here who have been taken for granted? The Cubans have two Senators and presidential candidates and glorified Secty of State plus vast immigration perks not given to others.
