“this incident is what lead to castro requesting and giving permission to russia to place nukes on the island..
jfk did not solve the cuban missile crisis...
jfk CAUSED the cuban missile crisis...”
Worth repeating.
And not news to those of us who pay attention to what REALLY happens in the world.
Even back in the early 60s the news media was protecting the left.

A good story but the Bay of Pigs isn’t why the Soviets wanted their nuclear missiles in Cuba. The Soviets were annoyed because we had posted nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The Turkish batteries in particular got under their skin. Cuba provided them with a launch pad as close to US soil as Turkey was to the USSR. The Soviets were motivated by missiles, not the Bay of Pigs, and they certainly didn’t take orders from Castro.
