My Whacko Theory number 17 is that the US was driven to re-establish its Embassy in Havana without delay, once it was deemed immanent that Russia was already in the planning stage to construct its own seaport on Cuban soil. Another try by the Big Bear to establish a landing on the American continent a la Cuban Missile Crisis of the Kennedy Presidency!
Fearing that Russia could meet the need of a languishing Cuban economy to develop financial markets aimed at Central and South America, actually, the US had no choice but to beat Russia to the punch; thereby satisfying its own American business interests for further economic development south of the border. The theory may also explain why the US has been generously permitting a porous border for immigration from the Latin American countries--so as to make possible close familial ties among those crossing into the US with those left behind. The idea is to ignite the Americas in explosive inter-country commerce and trade that can last for years to come! And there's no treaty agreement that has the inherent cohesiveness of the family tie.
Just, a whacko theory, folks!
