Will Cuba be Libre soon, and if so what happens next? And after that?
Cuba is coming apart at the seams. I know, I know — it’s been falling apart for literally decades, and one of the sad demonstrations of the past few years is just how long a country whose leaders don’t care about their people’s welfare, because they don’t have to, can be held more or less static. (See also Venezuela, Iran, North Korea). But, you now, “gradually, then suddenly.” There’s some reason to believe that Cuba is approaching the “suddenly” part of that equation. That’s bad news in the near term, but I have some thoughts on the longer term, too, and they’re much more positive.
