What would that lesson be?

US and American businesses did fine business with the Cuban dictatorship of Batista:

"Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar (/bəˈtiːstə/;[1] Spanish: [fulˈxensjo βaˈtista i salˈdiβaɾ]; born Rubén Zaldívar;[2] January 16, 1901 – August 6, 1973) was a Cuban military officer and politician who served as the elected President of Cuba from 1940 to 1944, and as its U.S.-backed military dictator from 1952 to 1959, before being overthrown during the Cuban Revolution."

I guess the takeaway is: "Do business with friendly dictatorships we helped install, as opposed to independent ones".
