Here’s the thing: Cuba has been making concessions. Opening parts of the economy, talking to US businesses, and even shifting policies that had been untouchable for decades. Did it matter? Nope. Washington basically said, “Not enough.” That tells you the goal isn’t reform. It’s full control.

In just the first week of its military assault on Iran, the US spent $11.3bn for American taxpayer-funded bombs that caused hundreds of deaths. The figure does not capture the full cost of the conflict, such as deployment of forces, and will now be far higher given the ongoing nature of the war.
