“Ambassador Rocha,” as he preferred to be called, was well known among Miami’s elite for his aristocratic, almost regal, bearing befitting his Ivy League background. His post-government career included time as a special adviser to the commander of the U.S. Southern Command and more recently as a tough-talking Donald Trump supporter and Cuba hardliner, a persona friends and prosecutors say Rocha adopted to hide his true allegiances.

Give this man an Oscar.

Cuba isn't like China where Western media heads and political "thinkers" are kinda in this weird interstice where it's both at the same kinda big bad red menace their boomer parents/grandparents were scared about and also a free market capitalist dictatorship to cope about its success.

They don’t think about this at all. You’re giving them too much credit. Communism = bad = enemy. It’s simply just that.
