Treinta años después de que cuatro pilotos civiles perdieran la vida sobre las aguas del Caribe, Estados Unidos ha convertido ese duelo en acto de Estado: cargos penales contra Raúl Castro y un portaaviones nuclear apostado a noventa millas de La Habana. La administración Trump entrelaza memoria, justicia y fuerza militar en un gesto que trasciende lo jurídico para convertirse en declaración de intenciones hemisféricas. En la historia larga de las tensiones entre Washington y La Habana, este momento marca no un cierre, sino una escalada deliberada.
