bombs and threats is running low, but they aren't needed for the island nation 90 miles off the coast of Florida.

We've already established the lifeline.

What we need to do is summon our soft power, the empathy and generosity that makes America uniquely American.

I don't believe the U.S.

will invade Cuba.

One quagmire at a time is enough.

In addition, Trump doesn't see himself as a liberator, but as a dealmaker.

That's fine, but the best deals are win-win, not zero-sum.

Trump and Rubio have made their intentions clear.

The deal they seek has to include regime change.

Less clear is what regime change looks like in practice—

As Brian Finucane, a senior advisor with the International Crisis Group and a former State Department lawyer, told PBS, Venezuela isn't a good template for Cuba, as there isn't an obvious successor to make a deal with.

Strangling Cuba until it collapses into chaos or launching a cinematic special ops mission to rendition a 94-year-old autocrat isn't a strategy.

It's a weapon of mass distraction from Epstein, ICE, inflation, Iran, the J6 terrorist immunization fund.

The real move is magnanimity.

America's greatest returns on investment haven't come from the barrel of a gun, but from the extension of an open hand.

Imagine what $100 million in unconditional aid to the Cuban people could buy.

Not regime change.

Something better.

Goodwill.
