War in Laos is probably going to be a bigger long term deal.
A US active intervention in the Bay of Pigs can end with the Soviets threatening nuclear war and forcing Nixon to back down.
Which even more rapidly raises the issue of Soviet Intervention.It wouldn't be the Bay of Pigs. That operation was doomed to failure, even with air support. It would be a proper invasion.
