Why wasn't there more resistance? 30 minutes is just sad. Compared to 600+ assassination attempts done against Fidel.

directly kidnap a president is actually pretty novel, isn’t it?

no not really. They did the same thing to Noriega in Panama right down to charging him with drug offenses. They also kidnapped Aristide from Haiti in 2004.
