Nicaragua’s communist dictator Daniel Ortega ordered the house arrest of his younger brother, Humberto Ortega, on Tuesday after the younger Ortega questioned how the Sandinista regime would survive without Daniel.

Humberto Ortega, 77, is a retired military official who accompanied his brother during the Sandinista revolution and served as a crucial military figure, aiding Daniel Ortega in ruling Nicaragua during the 1980s. He issued his remarks on Sunday in an interview with the Argentine news outlet Infobae.

Infobae published an interview with the younger Ortega in which he described his relationship with his brother as “complicated.” Daniel Ortega has accused his brother of being a “traitor” and an “instrument of the United States.”

Maybe they will be overthrown and executed before they die. They caught Pol Pot hiding in his old age and did not execute him because he was so old. I think he should have been executed even if he only had a day left to live because no tyrant deserves a natural death.

“Ortega questioned how the Sandinista regime would survive without Daniel.”


Wasn’t even discussing the possibility of the monarch dying grounds for a charge of treason in Tudor England?

They hysteria against this guy in the 1980’s...

Reagan blew up his second term over aid to the Contras against this guy.

Ortega has been back since 2007, and no-one notices or cares now.

As two Great American Philosophers put it:

Thomas Jefferson: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations...entangling alliances with none.”

Ron White: "You can't fix stupid." :)
