The embargo has effectively preserved Cuba as a communist state, I'd actually be worried if I was the Castro's. The patented US-backed color-revolution will happen sooner or later. It's dumb tho, we can't pretend like the US cares about human rights and we have close relationships with dictatorships in China and Saudi Arabia.
I always found that strange too, Cuba gets embargoed for ages but a far worse country like Saudi Arabia is an "ally". The message is clear: if a dictatorship has something useful to sell, they are suddenly not that bad anymore.
