Again, no one in the thread is making these claims. I am not defending some weird story you may have heard as a kid.
And since you have not addressed my argument, I will assume that you agree that the USA wanted a puppet regime in Havana so they could continue to exploit Cuba.
Again, you are not addressing my point.
Since you are saying it became oppressive later, you are implicitly agreeing that the Cuban revolution enjoyed popular support while the people who landed at Bay of Pigs did not.
You did not answer the question. According to you, the USA could do so at any time, and Cuba itself and its government cannot do anything to stop it.
And if you are correct about the populace there, the US would be hailed as heroes, and they could regain the8r lost assets on the island.
As we saw, a dozen men could land on that island with almost no resources and (by simply promising the peasants an end to the dictatorship) get enough support to take over the island.
So, why does the USA not do this?
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...

What really happened was some sort-of clumsy espionage/mercenary distraction vs what they want you to believe is that the full force of the US came into them and they valiantly put an end to it because they have the mandate and because they are right. It is a whole bunch of nonsense. Similar to the embargo.

That is part of the big lie. Just because the movement was popular early on, does not mean the overall outcome was good.
NAZI Germany was also popular early on... see how it turned out.

Careful their buddy, you seem to hint (or perhaps not?) at the "well... the populous support it, because they haven't, revolted". Except you could make the same argument for every other dictatorship ever... right until the moment they do revolt and/or it ends by some other means. For instance North Korea... they must have very high quality of life there since nobody is trying to "liberate" themselves from the "evil dictatorship" right? Except it does not work like that. Part of a dictatorship is to control the narrative, control the politics, control the public.
