Amazing. I have always had reservations regarding Cuban military power. In fact, after being in Cuba and reading about the Castros´ revolution, it came to my mind, more and more frequently, that foraign help must have been essential for their success. Foreign help from Russia, or from the USA itself. I simply could not buy the romantic idea that a handful of civilians disembarking from the Granma yacht would be able to take down an established State. Even a militarily weak one, like the one Batista leaded.
Just some thoughts. Maybe in the future you can fork things to Cuba and elaborate a little about this strange Latin American phenomenon.
