The Cubans won't mess around with slant drilling, that's only a false incentive provided to drill. "Get the oil first, before the Commies do!", same idea with the embargo we have on trade and travel to Cuba. The other thing is Cuba doesn't have their act together, many are JUST getting internet there, they have their own problems they are sorting out first. They haven't been as prominent on the world scene lately because of just that, the switching of power and Raul SO FAR seems intent in getting his nation back on track in terms of domestic policies and living standards.
The cuban PEOPLE are not the ones we should worry about. It is the GOV'T who will take the resources, with their help from EURASIA. And slant drilling is for real, and they WILL do it. Probably already are as we speak. Remember, the Castros aren't paupers, just the common people are.
