Not sure if this has been discussed. It probably has. But I was watching Part II over the holidays and during Roth’s birthday party Michael second guesses the Cuban military by reasoning that the rebels can win because they aren’t paid to fight. That’s a truth in just about every war since the dawn of time. Anyway, it very conveniently gave Michael an out to buy time. Is it possible that he really WAS thinking about partnering with Roth up to that point? Or was it just a number of any excuses that he would have used to bide his time and stall a bit?
