US Politics

It was CIA in partnership with Cuban exiles....The CIA planned, financed, directed, and equipped the invasion and it was something Kennedy walked into when coming into office.

Kennedy was no fan of Cuba as it was then a Soviet client state. However, unlike some of our foolish leaders today he wanted to limit involvement to avoid escalating into a broader conflict with the Soviet Union.

As his heart wasn't in it he should have cancelled the operation....instead he dithered and went half way (as I've said, it probably sealed his own fate as the CIA was way too powerful until the Church hearings in 76).

The US did provide equipment and carried out a first wave of air strikes (but with the US insignia painted over). But Kennedy canceled anymore air support and strikes and the exiles were over-ran.

They secured three initial beachheads and pushed inland a short distance but without help they were soon toast.

It's a lesson that Machiavelli taught: go hard or go home.

That was never going to happen....we didn't become French because the Normans took over.

Regardless, the Germans are European.

Today my capital city is run by a non European whose is anti white people.

The English comprise something like thirty percent in their own capital city.

So excuse me if I criticise what enabled it.

Having watched the way the US media is responding to yesterday’s events is interesting and throws some light on a few aspects, if still leaving many questions.

Firstly, the timing. It’s being suggested that doing this just when many Americans are having to come to terms with their health costs doubling is not a coincidence. Trump likes a headline that wipes other things off the news agenda. Diversion being a common tactic whenever he is cornered. Pushing scrutiny of the Epstein files further away doesn’t harm him either.

Secondly, yesterday’s press conference was held without an autocue or a script. Trump just spoke and what he had to say appeared to surprise the others on the platform as much as everyone else. He seems to just have made it up as he went along.

The conclusion from this being that it was never the plan for the USA to run the country and that this will be rolled back in the coming days. It was just Trump shooting his mouth off and seeking headlines. Serious questions are being asked about whether the frequency of this type of behaviour is indicative of rising dementia. Capturing Maduro was more a personal vendetta of Trump’s than any thought out strategy.

Thirdly, VP Vance wasn’t there. Why? Is he sick? If so there’s not been a word said. He is close to the MAGA mob and could have decided he wanted nothing to do with it.

My own conclusions earlier being confirmed. The USA running the country being impractical it’s now likely to deteriorate into fights between factions in the power vacuum that’s probably going to result. Unless the VP and the military crack down with even more restrictions. Hardly good for the people there.

The March 2020 indictment is pretty clear unless there's a gap I can't see, the US DOJ case is detailed in the document.

Not wishing to alter the topic of the thread, according to the 2021 census, more than 4 in 10 (40.6%) London residents were born outside the UK.

So that makes 60% Britishers.

Just saying.

Looks like the kidnap operation was a bit messy.

"The Cuban government has said 32 of its nationals were killed during the US operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
It said the dead were members of its armed forces and intelligence agencies, with two days of national mourning declared.
A short statement did not elaborate on the role of the Cubans in Venezuela, but the two governments are long-standing allies, with Cuba providing security support in exchange for oil."

And the big issue I read into that, is the USA is now controlling oil into Cuba. They have Cuba over a financial barrel, and it would be a natural conclusion to think that regime change in Cuba is on the horizon

Compared to how many Maduro had killed?

Somehow, I don't think I need a crystal ball. If you want to tell me there's any possibility that the percentage of British people in London will go up, then fair enough. You and I both know it won't.

I don't wish to tell you anything, mate. It was just a point of fact about the 2021 census.
