TV: Yes, without Northwoods. Within the Administration, this will mean that the ASOS for Latin America will be Robert Kennedy in all but name, even more than OTL. His bureaucratic empire, by far the largest in the administration, will expand even more.
 
What can the UN do about it besides yammer on about American "imperialism" "aggression" and the like? Not much. This might embolden the administration towards a Nixonian solution in Brazil as LBJ did IOTL.

I agree, if Mongoose actually works out as planned, the US might start pursuing a more aggressive foreign policy with that as precedent.
 
That might mean the axing of the Alliance for Progress. Things get more interesting after the 1964 shuffle, with Bobby at Defense and McNamara at State.
