Imagine after 9/11 Bin Laden gets taken alive and sent to Guantanamo Bay, many years later the Us abandons Guantanamo and Cuba assumes control of it, including the prisoners. Now whatever Cuba does with the prisoners the Us cannot object to, Cuba has a nuke for deterrence, what would Cuba do with Bin Laden?
Now imagine the Us had a whole bunch of political prisoners in Guantanamo before abandoning it, just imagine what Cuba would do to any hypothetical person that the Us might have deemed bad enough to send there, but also what Cuba would do to this prisoner. Ask yourself, would Cuba pardon them, keep them imprisoned, kill them, deport them?
The meat of the question is, is the enemy of my enemy really my friend?. Do you think a person would have the critical support or unconditional support of Cuba despite being in Guantanamo Bay? Would someone being dangerous make them less valuable as an asset for Cuba?
I want to hear what all of you think what Cuba would have done if they got their hands on Bin Laden and their decision is independent of what the Us wants.
Is it in Cuba’s best interest to release Bin Laden when he is an anti communist? Any country that wants him is either a us ally and can’t have them, or would not prosecute Bin Laden and he would surely do another terrorism. The only question is, do you think he’s not going to harm Cuba or it’s allies?
No. that’s why this is pretty easy for Cuba, the people released have very little interest in the Caribbean, and have no capability to hurt Cuba even if they decided to after Cuba ended their incarceration. Cuba defends itself directly from the United States, al-Qaeda is little leagues shit
