5. Well, yeah, they were leeching off what the Chavista regime was providing them

But now that Chavismo is going down the drain with Maduro, and there's no more petrodollars to finance the Castro regime, they sought out the US to reestablish relations. Also, it's kind of funny how Cuba is so cooperative with the US despite the fact that the Chavista leadership continually and incessantly rambles about the US plotting at every turn to overthrow the Venezuelan government. It's just funny, is all.

And Maduro just happened to be visiting Cuba before Obama came. Wonder what kind of stuff be negotiated with the Castros. Maybe a guarantee of asylum once Chavismo falls and all the PSUV leaders start being prosecuted?
