If sanctions don't work, is there hypothetically a number of years after which USA should drop the sanctions? How many more years of sanctions on the people of Cuba?

What does it mean for sanctions not to work?

You can see sanctions work - both in specific effects (e.g. a factory producing missiles has to stop since it can't get chips) and in some macroeconomic effects - though those are harder to disentangle from the general chaos of everything.

It is much harder to see sanctions not work, how would you even discern that?

As for Cuba, I have no idea what USA is doing there.

Why dropping the sanctions if the regime is still torturous?

Cuba sanctions exist only because Cubans living in USA want them to continue.
