• The Cuban dictatorship is aware of its agony and seeks to survive by transforming itself before the total economic collapse and social exhaustion.
• American pressure has accelerated the decline of the regime with economic suffocation, energy deterioration and military movements.
• The future of Cuba is controlled by Gaesa, the armed forces, and the Trump administration.
• The mutual interest is in avoiding an uncontrolled explosion and a political vacuum that would generate another chaotic migration focus in the Caribbean.
• The shared risk is that Cuba enters in a transition designed to save the regime from itself, without real democratization.

Conclusion: There might not be a pure continuity of Castro-ism, but a cosmetic transformation that deprives the Cubans of the right to decide their future after seven decades of tyranny.
