What interests do Russia and China have in Cuba? Other than it being a market that the US isn’t in?

I suppose if we normalized relations and started trading, it might improve conditions in Cuba in a way that would undermine the Russian/Chinese narrative that capitalism and western democracy had failed?

It’s REALLY close. An hour by speedboat. 1/2 an hour by Cessna 172. Commercial radio can broadcast that far. WWI-era weapons could hit a target at that distance.

90 miles. I’ve driven that far for dinner.
