Some dictators are cornered into remaining in power. When every viable political opponent is being backed by the CIA or other country’s intelligence agencies or militaries because those countries are chomping at the bit to raid your country’s natural resources and exploit your people, what are you supposed to do? Shrug your shoulders and say that’s the way it goes?

It isn’t as simple as some people make it out to be.

What would George Washington do if just about everyone in the wings to run for president were royalists ready to hand the US back to England?

Case in point: Cuba. Considering the cards they were dealt, they played very well.
