I see your point, but iirc, the soviet union also thought Castro was going to be against them, and said as much publicly. It is really disturbing and telling when you hear that the Joint Cheifs were willing to sacrifice innocent American lives for the sake of propaganda.

**edit- actually this memo was from '62, after it became obvious that Castro had ties to the soviet union.
