I mean, it's basically suicidal.
Again, I'm talking to many people who have followed the Cuban leadership over the years, and they say that they just can't imagine that happening.
Now, at the same time, if this economy and society is totally collapsing around them, and who knows, maybe at some point you start having popular protests, that could convince them to make a deal like that.
But that's a very extreme situation.
It's a great question.
I think that most of the time, very few Americans are thinking about Cuba and don't really care that much about it.
But having said that, I still think there's little doubt that if President Trump were to bring down the communist government of Cuba implanted by Fidel Castro almost 70 years ago,
and he was able to do it without destroying Cuba along the way, I really think that that would be widely regarded around the world as kind of a historic triumph.
He will have solved a foreign policy problem that many presidents before him were stymied by.
Going back to Dwight Eisenhower, and even those Americans who aren't thinking about Cuba 99.99% of the time,
If they were to hear that there had been a breakthrough, that the communist government was stepping down or had paved the way for its own replacement in some credible way, I think it would have a real power.
Thank you for having me.
