If anything, by their own ideology it should benefit us. A freer market with more competition.

LMAO, the ideology is so dishonest too. The day the US participates in a fair competition is the day the US loses.

The US sanctioned Vietnam after it kicked Americans’ asses, and it plunged Vietnam into even further desolation until they were forced to open up and enforced more capitalistic policies. They could’ve done the same with Cuba, but just like how the west will never forgive the USSR for defeating fascism in Europe, the US will never forgive Cuba for defeating US imperialism underneath its nose.
