Bay of Pigs, why was it a failure?
>>
Kennedy was in charge
>>
It doesn't have any pig

Castro knew about it a few weeks in advance when the KGB picked up on it and gave him the intel.

The CIA trained invaders were expecting to make a landing with no resistance but instead were jumped.

after finding out that 25,000 Cubans were there to fight the landing force of 1,500, they just turned tail and ran.

John F for Fruitcake Kennedy backstabbed America.

The M-26-7 was also a small ragtag army against a trained army with the aid and backing of the strongest military force in the world at that time. They entered the island just 86 persons in the whole army. 86. But they beat them because 95+% of the people joined. Americans and their gusano allies are to this day still ass-pained about it and the fact that they (in large part but not entirely) are smart enough to realize that being under the thumb of empire is shit, not their own fault, and the cause of all problems. So much for "competition" and "free markets" lmao.
