A guy at work always says that the US handled wrong during the 50s 60s with Cuba. He said that Cubans love baseball and had the US sent the Yankees then, to raise the spirits of the Cubans then the Castro regime could have been prevented, sort of Pingpong politics they did with China.


Yep, China just passed the US as the number one economy in the world. They did this by copying some US capitalist free market reforms.
Many exiled Cuban Americans lobbied against friendly relations with the Castro regime. This may have partly shaped US policy toward Cuba over the years.
