That’s fair.

History shows he pussed out at the last minute.

But, he planned an invasion with US air support originally.

Could you see Reagan or Bush doing this in Cuba or Venezuela or Iran?

Reagan did take action in Grenada, once he knew Cuban military was there and US citizens wee being detained. But nothing on the scope of planning an invasion to free the Cuban people.

Bush Herbert Walker, did invade Panama, but this was due to US military personnel being shot after our man in Panama, Noriega, wouldn’t play ball.

So, yes invasion with US miltary, but provoked by armed assaults on our military in Panama.

Kennedy planned an invasion to rid a communist cancer from our Hemisphere. Now, don’t jump the gun, Reagan won the Cold War. I’m just saying, Kennedy was a Democrat...comparing him to our modern “hate America, espouse Socialism Dems of present day.

Wrong. Eisenhower approved the project. Kennedy wimped out.

“Could you see Reagan or Bush doing this in Cuba or Venezuela or Iran?”

I will let Reagan’s and Bush’s record speak for themselves.

“Kennedy planned an invasion to rid a communist cancer from our Hemisphere. “

The action was planned by the CIA under Eisenhower. Kennedy was briefed on the mission Nov. 20, 1960.
