It is late for me.
I am tired.
I'm in quite the bad mood.
So, if this comes off "disjointed:, have a heart.
Then why post this? Hopefully, there will be an answer or two when I check in the morning.
I've heard claims such as: Leslie Woodhead, in the 2009 documentary "How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin," argues that rock music, and the Beatles in particular, alienated the youth against the leadership of the Soviet bloc governments (that's from http://ift.tt/1ITTpOQ)
How much did western influence, culture, money, McDonald's, cravings for stupid minutiae...
...the desire for blue jeans

Question: How much did the opening of trade channels, the lifting of sanctions, the allowance of western culture to slowly seep in, the desire of the youth - after getting a taste of the western world to crave it - how much did the desire for anything western, how did that help with the break up and downfall of the USSR?
With the opening of trade routes and the lifting of sanctions with Cuba, and the inevitable creeping in of American culture (or the American desire for the next and biggest flat screen TV, or Playstation 5; saving for the future and rainy days be damned! put it all on the credit card!), now that we are "opening" Cuba, what are the chances of the Cuban youth - after getting a taste of the western world to crave it - demanding change and possibly even revolting for it?
Now, the above paragraph, change all the "Cuba"s and "Cuban"s to "Iran" and "Iranian"s
