And he said, maybe we'll just have a friendly takeover of Cuba.

The timing on this is very interesting.
There is a Supreme Court case pending right now that has to do with U.S.
assets that were seized by the Cuban government when the Communist Revolution began.
Reports are, and I know a lot of people probably have not spent much time on this, that in 1959, 90% of Cuban business assets were owned by U.S.-related entities.
So there is an argument, and we'll see what the Supreme Court says about this, that the biggest victims from a business perspective were all U.S.-based corporations and that we should allow U.S.
corporations to go back into Cuba, get their assets back, and try to allow capitalism to exist in the country.
And I would be in favor of that.
It would end the danger of China or Russia or North Korea or Iran, whatever foreign interests bear ill design to the United States from them being able to have close proximity to the United States.
It would tie in with the so-called Donro Doctrine, which is really just a modification, an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, that the United States controls this hemisphere.
I just think it's a no-brainer.
