Bay of Pigs, first as tragedy, then as farce, now as whatever this is.

Classic CIA shit. 'the people will rise up and take up arms as soon as they hear about capitalism!'

I personally imagine that the dude is a turbo crakkka who didn't speak a word of Spanish and just tried to recruit terrorists in increasingly loud and slow English.

He heard that Castro had overthrown Batista starting with 12 men and thought he could repeat that.

real invasion of sark feel:

In late August 1990, an unemployed French nuclear physicist named André Gardes, armed with a semi-automatic weapon, attempted an invasion of Sark. The night Gardes arrived, he put up two posters declaring his intention to take over the island the following day at noon. The following day he started a solo foot patrol in front of the manor, in battle-dress, weapon in hand. While Gardes was sitting on a bench waiting for noon to arrive, the island's volunteer connétable approached the Frenchman and complimented him on the quality of his weapon.[24] Gardes then proceeded to change the gun's magazine, at which point he was tackled to the ground, arrested, and given a seven-day sentence which he served in Guernsey

This is even more comical than the US coup attempt against Venezuela that was thwarted by unarmed fishermen who just happened to be around at the time.
