Any day now. Could be tomorrow. Maybe next Tuesday. Yep, pretty soon they're gonna bring Castro to his knees. He'll beg for mercy. Yes, sir, any day now. They've only been in effect since October of 1960, not even 54 full years yet. How could you pull the plug after 54 years? It would make us look like idiots.

Wait, I just heard Cuba announced they're giving in. They admit we were right about everything all along, and surrendered unconditionally. You see? The sanctions worked! Oh, wait, I misheard. Cuba refuses to give in. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow.
