On the one hand, we're seeing the consent manufactury kick into overdrive and a lot of state department goblins seem to be absolutely itching for a fresh round of meddling. Cuba as a client state would open the door to all manner of renewed imperial nightmares in the carribean and South America.
On the other hand, it feels like most people's reception of the situation outside of dedicated chuds and Floridians (but I repeat myself) is muted, and I've already seen a few small anti-intervention protests pop up. After two decades of war, with a domestic civil society whose coherency is hanging by a thread and a global presence that is increasingly challenged, I feel like a flubbed regime change effort there would be the true beginning of the end for the U.S.' empire.
If this is a dumb-dumb take, please don't hesitate to tell me so.
Yeah it’s most likely going to be the same as when Britain fell off as a world leader
That was actually a good thing for the British people. They stopped dying in foreign wars that never benefited them, and the government was forced to work on internal development instead.
America was never meant to be a world leader. We've done an awful job at it. Better to leave the job to those better qualified. If the US government was cut off from their wonderfully stimulating endless foreign wars, the result can only be positive for Americans.
