Perry Mason "Bay of Pigs"

[LessAspin]

With Trump and Hegseth stirring the shitstorm in the Caribbean it was interesting last night to see this episode of Perry Mason S8.E29 on MeTV 📺

While cross-examining Mrs. Norden, Mason obliquely mentions an operation "several years ago" in the Caribbean in which her husband participated. He apparently was referring to the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion on the coast of Cuba on April 17, 1961. This botched operation was an enormous embarrassment to the Kennedy Administration and indirectly led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The script has totally flipped from JFK to Trump. Back then you had right wing Generals hellbent on dragging US into a wider War ..

Now we have an Administration hellbent on killing...

👉 The missile strike by the Trump administration on suspected drug boats has implications for the wider regional nexus of politics, crime and state complicity. @jerrymcdermott explained on @dwnews.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."
