> I think you don't understand the implications here.
My knowledge and familiarity with the US and South America more than likely doesn't supersede yours. I think we can agree that the implications of a war with Russia far outweigh the fear of Chile, Cuba, and Brazil making an unexpected comeback. But back to the initial point, even if Russia wasn't a concern.
1) These countries are disconnected geographically.
2) These events happened before our time.
a) Fidel is dead, Raul wants to do things differently.
b) Pinochet was the foulest human being to ever roam the planet, but Chile has been back to civilian rule since the 1990's, and has gone through its own national grieving process (including long drawn-out prosecutions of Pinochet, who just died before a conviction in 2006.)
c) Brazil has a crime and corruption problem. Its problems fragment the population and I don't think a war would fix them. I can discuss this further if you would like.
There is little probability that payback from these nations would be a real concern. The only thing I can think of is Cuba's strategic location. Please let me know if I'm missing something.
