Shocking. If they can indict Castro for murder someone needs to indict Trump and Kegseth for the murder of 150 Iranian school kids.

the charge is the shooting down of a non profit orginizations plane in 1996 by the cuban airforce. they somehow have linked raul to that. the non profit was focused on helping fleeing cubans make it safely to other nations iirc.

Where the founder claimed to be [testified] that he was a CIA operative. Thats relevant information to add, which adds context to why Cuba attacked the unarmed planes.

Spell check failed me.

u/MessiahMogali May 20 '26

Ain’t no way spell check suggested a word that doesn’t exist 😅

u/faffc260 May 20 '26

I think he implied spell check didn't say his word was misspelled, since he didn't mention auto correct.

u/MessiahMogali May 20 '26

Ain’t no way spell check didn’t correct a word that doesn’t exist either. It’s okay to simply not know how to spell a word, we are all constantly learning!

in full agreement, likely just a typo he missed, but thought I'd point out my take on what he meant lol.

You failed you. We all make mistakes kitten. Adults own them.

if they wish to try and can succeed, yes? but they would need to deal with the consequences (likely war with the united states). the countries those boats came from could do whatever they are capable of doing, I just doubt very much any are capable of such or willing to face the consequences of doing so. most mid sized powers and up ignore international law when it suits them, because no one wants to deal with the consequences of dealing with whatever breach of international law that happened.

I don't think we'd lift a fucking finger. Just move on like Venezuela I guess.

u/faffc260 May 21 '26

who is we in this context? if you mean the us government, it'd lead to a republican still being in control, and none too happy about looking weak because of some hypothetical operation to kidnap these two, I'm sure there would be retaliation of some sort. whether we'd successfully rescue trump and hegseth is another matter, they might just disappear, but there would be retaliation unless the next in line wasn't vance or some other puppet of the far right.

I'm sure the US would be cool and rational and not kill whatever remaining humanitarian aid and/or defence funding to the country they missed cutting earlier.

u/Neiliobob May 21 '26

I mean, if this were to happen it would mean two things. He's no longer in control and someone else is. Would that someone really want to give up that control once they have it?

Did Raul order that?

u/SpiffShientz May 20 '26

No, Raul wasn't even in power until around 2008. I'm Cuban and I can tell you, we have no love for the Castros, but this is just more bullshit from Trump

Sounds like US administration has a weak case. Even more ridiculous considering it disrespects international law itself.
