But it also raises a deeper, more urgent question one that…

The U.S. Justice Department’s unsealing of a federal indictment against former Cuban President Raúl Castro represents far more than a delayed pursuit of legal accountability; it is an aggressive deployment of judicial diplomacy designed to shift the geopolitical equilibrium in the Florida Straits. By resurrecting a lethal 30-year-old aerial interception, the White House is signalling a transition from standard diplomatic containment to an active, multidimensional squeeze on a fracturing regime. This judicial move acts as a double-edged sword—serving immediate domestic electoral imperatives in Washington while risking the entrenchment of hardline communist resistance in Havana. This dramatic escalation is anchored on…
