We have been paying heavily in blood and treasure since JFR betrayed the Cuban patriots during the Bay of Pigs invasion and mishandled the October Missile Crisis burying for good the Monroe Doctrine, another treason, this time U.S. was the direct victim of JFK incompetence.
The secret accord between JFK and Nikita Khrushchev gave Castro the green light to subvert Latin America and to send Cuban troops to Africa counting with the protection of the promise of JFK that the US government will not allow any attack to Castro’s regime departing U.S or from any other country in this hemisphere.
Good points, and don’t forget the Panama Canal giveaway by Carter.
