But, do the Cubans have the sealift capability to land a force sizable enough that won't get wiped out by Buba, his cousins and their shotguns without even reaching dry sand?
Would such an operation be worth the expenditure in fuel? For propaganda purposes sure, to the diehard Marxists. But, I doubt most Cubans are true followers of the "Workers Revolution." When in reality most are simply scraping by.
I would wager that most of the populations lives are pretty hard without a war and now would get much harder without oil and aid and the limited trade it had. I think the ruling elite and military would be very worried about a revolt by the disaffected masses.
And with that scenario, DIA or even some Free Cubans in exile could see that and do raids of their own....maybe land a few SF teams to get the disaffected masses riled up and topple the Castro regime.
