Back in March 2014, at the dawn of what would become the counterrevolutionary project Cuba Posible, one of its regular contributors, in an interview with a Miami correspondent on the Island, advised Cuba in its relations with the United States: «it is better, for the weakest actor, to adopt changes that make it fit or enter into a bigger puzzle where the American leadership predominates». The interviewee lamented that Cuban leaders «do not feel comfortable with the world that way and are doing everything they can to change it».Actually, the asymmetry of Cuba’s relationship with a neighboring country that has 30 times its population and is the most important economic and military power in the world is such that the proposal of joining the yoke and losing the Martian star on its forehead, accepting the world as it is and renouncing the goal of changing it, could seem attractive to some who think more like Americans than Cubans. Plattism and geographic fatalism have their share in our national history, something that is taught, not in American universities, but in national elementary schools.
