Rogue state for 250 years up to it's usual tricks...
Cuban civilians are already suffering due to US aggression. US policy has long relied on sanctions and embargoes to pressure Cuban leadership – a strategy that is proven to fall most heavily on civilians – and the Trump administration has intensified these tactics in recent months, mostly notably by cutting off vital oil supplies. Shortages of food, medicine and other materials were already a major problem on the island, and now Cuba is falling into a full-scale humanitarian crisis.
Moreover, we can expect impunity for the architects of this suffering because we still have the same legal system that has already justified more than two centuries of imperial violence as perfectly lawful. US imperialism began in earnest on the North American continent with repeated cycles throughout the 18th and 19th centuries of dispossession, removal and even extermination of Indigenous nations.
US forces also invaded Mexico in 1846, eventually annexing almost a third of its territory. Still more, US naval forces became increasingly aggressive abroad following precedents set by Thomas Jefferson’s early authorization of force against North African states for alleged “piracy”. The result was a near constant cycle of invading, occupying or annexing territories throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

For centuries, the US has engaged in imperialist intervention in Latin America. The Castro indictment looks like its latest move
