“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.

Is there any real point to adding "Communist" here? 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. Cuba is widely considered a communist country already (since it's a "failed state").

Then again, this is AP Reuters so shrug-outta-hecks

But the abrupt deal drew criticism in the Cuban exile community, with some legal observers worrying it amounted to a slap on the wrist. “Any sentence that allows him to see the light of day again would not be justice,” said Carlos Trujillo, a Miami attorney who served as U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States during the Trump administration. “He’s a spy for a foreign adversary who put American lives at risk.”

Curious if this Gusano has anything to say about that one time US Intelligence considered staging a false-flag attack on American citizens whereas Cuba... hasn't killed anyone on American soil. Or is this the Jordan/Israel situation where American lives are cheap as dirt so long as its the Empire and its allies who are taking them?
