Cuba had sanctions pretty much only from the U.S. It could trade with the entire rest of the world.

You're acting like that makes this super minor somehow. 

When you have one of the largest economies less than 100 miles from your shore that you cannot trade with and many of the other countries near you are either very small or lack a robust economy, that undoubtedly clouds our ability to judge Cuba on a level playing field.
