I’m sure it is. Cuba is in dire economic straights now - since it doesn’t produce anything - and actually hasn’t been able to help VZ (except by providing its secret police) for a long time. The drop in oil prices has meant that VZ is doing even worse than it was a couple of months ago, when it was already near death and they’d run out of toilet tissue, so VZ can’t help Cuba either.
And Bambi steps into the breach. I bet we’ll be giving Cuba foreign aid in no time at all, probably by letting them collect the “rent” on Gitmo.
Fidel has all the gold from the Gitmo lease in his desk drawer. He’s been collecting it for years.
