#1 IOW, cost-inhibitive imported Hams must keep coming in iff RAUL expects to stay on the top. All the Hams belong to Raul now - the glorious gastro-intestinal struggle of the starving Cuban people in defense of the Great Leader's love of costly imported hams must go on. Its for the People, D *** it, for the children and the Revolution.

#2 Notice in these workers paradises, that when the charismatic or Great Leader passes, that those left in the political position seem to have to negotiate their ~~royal throne~~ with the senior military officers standing around? And from that day on, life is one great Byzantine soap opera of shifting loyalties and intrigue?

Which by the way is a warning [which will be ignored] to the Donks, not to try to use generals as political pawns against a sitting president. Or someday you may end up with the office, but without the power.
