I just want to point out that there are Kennedy tapes saying that they're willing to bomb Cuba in the same way they bombed Indochina, which can be significantly worse since Cuba is literally a stone's throw away from all of America's major military installations and supply hubs.
There might not be a Cuban people if the Feds get to unleash the 50 years of pent-up hate on them.
My own, completely uneducated, guess is that a US invasion would result in a US puppet government being installed in a green zone in Havana while the legitimate government wages a prolonged guerilla war from the jungle.
The Cuban people will suffer immensely, gusanos will come back and be awarded their grandparents' old properties and Cuba will be remade in the image of Haiti. Healthcare will be privatised, neighbourhoods will be gentrified and the people displaced.
Eventually the US will become sick and tired of the endless war and leave, opening the possibility of a return to power for the legitimate government.
years of guerrilla warfare. but when has a jungle insurgency ever been a problem for the US military? :uncle-ho-2:

very true, short distance would make it vastly easier to maintain supply lines
