And by the time the invasion actually took place, the US had a new President John F. Kennedy who took a far different and more peace-oriented approach to foreign policy than the previous Eisenhower Administration, which led to Kennedy firing Allen Dulles as the CIA Director after the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

When the invaders called the Americans for help, the Kennedy Administration refused an outright military intervention. It was a crushing victory of the Cuban people over the American imperialists and one that would be repeated in Vietnam fourteen years later in 1975.

Afterwards, the CIA began even more aggressive and horrifying plans to justify intervention in Cuba including the Operation Northwoods planned in which intelligence operatives under the direction of the Pentagon were to orchestrate acts of terrorism on US soil:

▪️ Bombing of civilian targets in Miami, New York, and Washington DC

▪️ Sinking boats of Cuban refugees in coastal and international waters

▪️ Hijacking planes and then crashing them in a way where it would appear they were shot down

Afterwards, they would attempt to blame Cuban and Soviet forces for the chaos, in the hopes that it would create a public outcry for military action against Cuba. It was a completely insane idea and Kennedy ultimately rejected the plan.

However, Kennedy did authorize Operation Mongoose which aimed to destabilize Castro’s government by carrying out assassinations, economic sabotage and psychological warfare inside Cuba in the hopes that it would cause a popular uprising. It failed just as miserably as the Bay of Pigs but it only served to fuel escalation of tensions between Washington and Moscow.

Espionage and CIA interference in Cuba combined with the placement of American Jupiter missiles in Turkey within striking distance of Moscow and Leningrad is what sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis when the USSR and Cuba placed Soviet Dvina and Usovaya nuclear missiles on the island, within striking range of every major American city except for San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

These false flag attack plans by the United States ultimately became the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 film Dr. Strangelove. Because any one of these war plans would have only resulted in a Soviet advancement on Berlin, sparking WW3 between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

A direct US attack on the island would be just like Vietnam. Cuba’s terrain is defined by endless mountain ranges and dense forests which would serve as strategic bases to launch guerrilla ambush attacks and evade US forces. The United States thinks it will be an easy takeover but Cuba does not have any traitors in their ranks like Venezuela did with Delcy and Jorge Rodriguez. It would go just as poorly as Iran.

And if Cuba starts receiving Russian weaponry such as Geran drones, which is a great possibility in the event of war, then they could potentially strike every major city in the southern United States, including Washington DC.

For the Global South, the Cuban Revolution has been seen as proof that a nation can defend its sovereignty and independence despite being only ninety miles off the coast of the global imperial hegemon that thinks it can act as the world police and bully the rest of the globe into submission. And the United States is once again making the mistake it did with Iran by underestimating the resilience of the Cuban people.

I've counted 80 that have said they unfollowed Bebo. May it continue...

He says he was pissed and hostile at me? I've never been more angry, you don't expect to be knifed by someone that purported to be in the alternative media anti war space. But upon closer inspection he looks more like an operation with his very NAFO looking anonymous profile. Nothing to hide right Bebo? Time will tell. I have no doubt your identity will get out. (not by me I'm against doxxing).

I hope you find it all worth it!
