17. Cuba poses no threat, but Castro nationalized billions of dollars in American corporate and private assets in 1960.

These property owners have been demanding their confiscated assets be returned to them for more than sixty years, but Cuba has steadfastly refused. In response, the U.S. government has been punishing Cuba since then, enforcing a series of cruel embargos intended to hurt the people of Cuba, openly trying to foment a popular uprising and the collapse of the communist Cuban regime.

Trump's (and his corporate backers') plan is for all these confiscated properties to be returned to their original owners after the current Cuban government is gone. Trump and his henchmen believe this will be easy, that the Cuban population will welcome Americans with open arms as he forces them out of their homes. It will be an incredible mess, and it will be violent.
