Episode Details

Two Cuban American congressmen argue that regime change in Cuba is essential for lasting reform, pushing for maximum pressure—including military options—to force the current leadership to step down. They warn that if no significant shifts occur in 18 to 24 months, the window may close forever. But Cuba analyst Andy Gomez counters, saying the real deadline is just six months—since sanctions are hurting civilians more than the regime, which would’ve negotiated if it wanted to. He also notes that after Raul Castro’s exit, less loyal generals could seize power, and questions whether the U.S. even has a clear plan for Cuba’s transition—unlike Venezuela, where leadership was willing to sacrifice its top figure to buy time.
