    To be far to the others, Fidel's would be assassins were a group of the most incompetent losers the world has ever seen.

      And also I think that number is inflated a bit by counting every plan that was in the works at a some point, not all of them ended up being attempted.

      It should be mentioned that one of the plans was to place a booby trapped conch on the sea floor (Fidel loved scuba diving) in case he just so happened to decide to pick that specific conch up

        Was one of the plans to replace one of his cigars with a stick of dynamite so that it would blow up in his face, leaving it covered in soot, thus causing him to be #canceled for doing blackface?

          Literally yes. I'm not even joking.

          I mean, not the blackface part. But they literally did try to kill him with an exploding cigar
