@rarity Admittedly, I am glad that you brought up the subject, as I need to brush up on my studies (two years of 14-16 hour days between college and work did wonders to make me "rusty"). :)
The isolation of Cuba definitely had its effect, and it played no small role in its orientation toward the USSR (the isolation of the revolution in backward Russia also played a key role in the degeneration of the USSR from its early proletarian democracy into the infamous Stalinist regime; Marx long ago noted that all of the "old crap" would inevitably return in such situations).
