Look, regime change never works. Just look at what happened to Russia or Iran! Instead, we should pursue softer methods of change. For instance, the Cuban regime can currently blame any and all economic hardship on the blockade and sanctions enforced by the US. If we just drop those, they'll no longer be able to deflect, and the average citizens will see that neoliberalism is the best way to structure society through debate in the marketplace of ideas!

Regime change actually works pretty often, like Chile or Ukraine. Don't underestimate our enemies.

I think this was Obama's actual reasoning for lifting some of the sanctions on Cuba. Not to argue against it, it was one of his best policies and whatever they need to tell themselves to help Cuba, I'll take it. So dumb that Biden didn't do it until the last week or something like that.
