Is it just some kind of intimidation tactic?
Was thinking the same thing, but it seems weird to do it in this manner. I'd think they'd want more people to witness it if it were an intimidation tactic. Given that the drill was so late at night, I am wondering if they're practicing for an operation in Cuba to kidnap Castro.
Did you mean Miguel Diaz-Canel or do you think that they think that kidnapping Raul Castro would be a good intimidation tactic?
Raul lately has been the target of bullshit indictments for actions 50 years ago
I hadn't heard about that. I remember he was said to be responsible for mass executions during and immediately after the revolution, but I'm not familiar with what the indictments would be if not that.
He was indicted by the US last year for the downing of two US planes in 1996.

Thanks. It seems like a really frivolous "indictment," but I guess that's to be expected.
