        What would be the point. Cuba is already heavily immiserated due to US blockade and sanctions.

          Trump wants a pretext to invade Cuba. This could be just like Iraq and Bush demanding Hussain step down or be invaded.

    They’re probably going to kidnap him just like they did to Maduro.

      the USA had turncoats in Venezuela that simply handed Maduro over. I don’t think that kidnapping Raul Castro will be that simple.

      Well that’s the #1 thing we learned last time, the Justice Department serves the executive and will not investigate or indict their boss.

      Good argument to move the Justice Department from the executive branch to the Judicial Branch. Give the Supreme Court some teeth.

        As much as I’d love to see little donnie charged with everything in the books…

        Putting enforcement under the purview of the branch primarily charged with interpreting the laws gives a rather perverse incentive to see their own prosecutors succeed and as such interpret things to accomplish that goal. It’s bad enough having lifetime scotus appointments by a president extending their influence beyond their term, putting prosecution in that same branch’s watch could secure a dictator-in-abstentia spot pretty quick.

    W. Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump and Biden are still around. They should be the ones indicted with killing millions of people in the last 3 decades.
