CIA vs Fidel Castro is literally the entire show of Tom and Jerry.

[olioliolivetree]

The CIA is like those comically evil bad guys in cartoons that always somehow manage to mess up their plans

[OLLpA]

Why is nobody talking about how good that milkshake looks in the thumbnail

Who the hell would put a pill in a freezer?

The CIA attempted an assassination of Fidel Castro 638 times but dies at 90 without being assassinated

I like how they said "guilty pleasure" like it was a secret or something he felt embarrassed about and not an obsession so well-known because he made air conditioned complexes for cows, worshipped a milk cow after a bunch of experimentation, and made a huge ice cream parlor in the middle of the slums

[shrekzebee]

Fun fact, fidel was so obsessed with dairy that he can eat 18 scoop of icecream after a full meal, built one of the most sophisticated icecream lab/shop, and had his animal experts breed a cow that can produce large quantities of milk in an attempt to bolster cuba's dairy industry

CIA attempts: 638
Mother of Nature: 1

[hamsandwich]

As a man by the name of Sam o’ Nella once said: A Dairy Queen would stop there, but Castro is a Dairy Dictator

[vendelamitlo]

That waiter took the, "You had one job, " saying to a different level.

[nizhoni]

Crazy thing he died two weeks after this video

[hecklur]

638 times and they only got this far? Just think of how bad the other attempts went

[textmachine]

"If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win gold medal." - Fidel Castro


Joseph Tito : Hold my beer.

[youtubeuser]

This guy is almost the rasputin of assassination attempts

[LeninFN]

Fidel survives over 600 assassination attempts through what can only be described as a combination of CIA blunders and divine intervention, seduces a female agent who was sent to kill him, and then dies peacefully in his 90s. Nobody could lay a finger on him. What a legend

[somerandomweeb]

Now he can brag that he survived 638 attempts to murder him

[HJ-dibo]

never let others know your guilty pleasures
