Kennedy not only refused an attack on Cuba; he also rejected the CIA and military Operation Northwoods and escalation to wage war in Vietnam.
These are the level-headed decisions of a man who understands the nefarious machinations of the military-industrial complex of endless conflicts. And it got him murdered.
The good ones always get killed.That's why no good ones want this job.I worked as a geriatric nurse for many years and seeing Joe Biden speak and move I would believe this man is no longer able to get dressed by himself every morning let alone decide to quit this job.People with dementia desperately cling to what is familiar to them,change is very frightening.It is up to family members to make the important decisions and in this case it doesn't seem to be happening.If it is ,the Americans did not elect Jill or Hunter Biden as president and he needs to be replaced .
I very distinctly remember a Kennedy getting on nightly tv talking about the “domino effect” and the need to stop the spread of communism. There were approximately 800 US military “advisors” during the 1950s and peaked to over 9000 during Kennedy’s term. It is true that LBJ expanded our military involvement in Vietnam. Congress authorized the deployment of troops but never officially declared war on North Vietnam. If you want to get technical, the deployment of 9000 military personnel is not technically being at war. Vietnam was a mess from the start. I believe Ho Chi Minh first went to the US for help when China was causing Vietnam trouble but we refused, then he went to USSR for help. Like I said, I was a very young child when this was happening and the Vietnam conflict occurred throughout my childhood.
Wars are usually started by Neocons from both parties. McNamara was the Neocon in chief at that time, and they firmly believed that Vietnam was a communist plot. They pushed Kennedy to go to war, but he only went as far as sending advisors in; see the link below I posted. The Neocons were upset Kennedy would not do more, and he was constantly fighting them over their warmongering rhetoric.
Before McNamara's death, he wrote a book that perhaps was an effort to clear his conscience for all the death and destruction he caused. He claimed they made a mistake thinking that Vietnam was a communist incursion and realized that it was a civil war between North and South Vietnam instead. He and others admitted that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was misinterpreted, and they were firing on whales for all they knew.
Kennedy would not turn Vietnam into a proxy war, a favorite of Neocons. These people hated him and probably were part of the scheme to remove Kennedy and insert Johnson, who was also a Neocon.
Fast forward to today, we see the same signature of Neocons trying to get us involved in Ukraine to fight Russia. Same old story as communism. We have to stop Russia from expanding into Europe and destroying democracy. It's pathetic people keep falling for this scam.
I agree with most of what you wrote. But communism is spreading throughout the world. China is setting up bases in the Caribbean and South America and making alliances with America’s enemies. Trump wants to deal with this situation by economic, not military means.
No, No, don't be fooled. Communism is gone. Communism part two is the newest kind, like what the World Economic Forum is pushing. The old communism is over. China allows individuals to own property and businesses. That is not communism. The warmongers are again trying to start hatred for other nations so they can have their wars.
It would take a few chapters in a book to explain, but the US is causing those issues with China and Russia. They are pushing both. Just as they pushed Japan before Pearl Harbor, the US sanctioned Japan's oil deliveries and threatened blockage from any other country. Before Pearl, Japan had maybe a couple of months of oil left.
The UK had cracked Japanese codes and knew the attack was planned. The US knew and moved the aircraft carriers out of the harbor. They needed a big event to get Congress to go to war.
Nothing, absolutely nothing about war, is the truth. It is always manufactured to get the public behind the warmongers or the kings and nobles. The average person is the last to know the truth.

It is so sad because it is so true. Biden cannot construct 2 complete sentences back to back. We are in a deep crisis. And as we know from history, unlike Kennedy, other Presidents and heads of state have started wars just to stay in power. Biden’s group of advisors who are really running this mess will not willingly step down. So ironic- remember the Dems saying Trump wouldn’t leave? And now we see who the real tyrants are!
At the time it was called "McNamara's War" (Secretary of Defense). When Kennedy took office there were already 685 American military "advisors" there. Kennedy tried to distance himself from Diem and signal a measured withdrawal. The situation and coup was poorly handled but it's impossible to know if Kennedy had not be assassinated that he might have left Vietnam, unlike Johnson who poured a half a million troops in.
When George Ball (State Department) suggested it would take 300,000 US troops to secure South Vietnam, Kennedy responded: "George, you're crazier than hell."

Yes, politicians (like Kennedy) echoing the "domino effect" and the need to stop the spread of communism was common. My belief is that John Kennedy's position (I was a young child too) largely reflects the initial advice he was given by his advisors.
From my studies, Kennedy was surrounded by war hawks and he was the voice calling for sanity and avoiding war!
We will never know how our roll in the war would have evolved if Kennedy were not assasinated. After what I’ve seen the Deep State, including the CIA, do to Trump, it would not surprise me if they were responsible for his murder. I pray for Trump’s safety.
Precisely, John: all the handwringing from the Democrats is about whether their best strategy for winning is with a dementia patient as their candidate. Not a single thought as to whether the American people are best served TODAY with a dementia patient as their Commander in Chief. Craven and deeply irresponsible doesn’t do it justice.
But the debate revealed nothing new in terms of how the country has been run since January 2021. Some of us(wish it were more) have known since before inauguration day that Joe Biden would decide neither what time he goes to bed at night nor the thermostat setting in the west wing nor where or when he shows up for anything. When a pen has been handed to him and and a document thrust under his nose, since day one, he has dutifully signed, all the while having no idea what is in the document in front of him, done while someone dutifully pointed at the line for him to sign on, often holding their finger on the line so he wouldn’t sign above or below it. This has been going on for 3.5 years, and it’s been getting worse only for Joe Biden and for the small circle of his handlers for no other reason than they have to work harder. For America, nothing has changed other than the perceptions and feelings of many people who have been clueless about most things since they were born, which we sadly now know is the majority of the American people. In terms of how the Executive branch of government has been running and who is calling the shots, nothing has changed.
Have you forgotten what Rex Tillerson (several years later) wrote about the challenges of daily briefing Trump on international affairs? The President’s disinterest, short attention span, the dumbing of complex concepts in order to be heard…. It was chilling! Time for another Kennedy it seems.
Steve Bannon was, but the BANANA republic's deep state got him in most undemocratic fashion, Alex Jones, Rudi Giuliani peter Navarro
Privilege works for one side not for yours. Let's weaponize IRS etc.
Target Trump with millions of lawsuits. But crossfire hurricane is out there, give 10% to the big guy.
Burisma, Ukraine, paintings only sold to political friends.
Biden who never had power to classify docs leaves them in the garage but, Trump had them under armed services guards. So the CiA staged and leaked them.
Charge Hunter with the lightest crime to say it's fair.
Then "claim" to believe in rule of law and democracy.
Do you understand that almost all picks for advisors and cabinet members were picked by Republicans? Even the Vice president? Not only the Democrats hated Trump but the Republican power structure in DC, too. They attempted to control him as they do every president. If you came to see Trump as an independent similar to Kennedy, who was also hated by both political power structures in DC, you might come to find Trump is working with a more level head than any president since Kennedy. The DC establishment hates anyone outside their political system. The Democrats were involved in Kennedy's death just as the Republicans are trying to ride themselves of Trump.
Then the people who yelled don't vote for orange man, he wants to start WW3.
Are now slavering like rabid dogs, trying to start WW3.
Anyway maybe the deep state complex with its overly complex models and penchant for forever wars needs to be obliterated not propped up. I too am tired of being in meetings where it feels like all the oxygen is sucked out so someone can bulldoze their point for the 7th time.
I move my Canadian vote from RFK jr to SirDonald of orange, daily.
And Trump is supposed to be “a threat to our democracy” (we’re a Republic, not a democracy) while the Demonrats censor free speech, use lawfare against political opponents, want to let non-citizens vote, classify parents who complain about their chidren being indoctrinated in schools and Catholics who attend traditional Latin mass as domestic terrorists, mandate “vaccines,” pass laws creating quarantine camps, etc, etc. The Demonrats are Stalinists and project onto the rest of us what they, themselves, are doing.
And you believe Tillerson? That’s only because you want to believe what he wrote. Trump started no new wars, he defeated ISIS and he brought peace to the Middle East, we were energy independent, and the list of good things go on. The world was stable when Trump was President.
Tillerson was/is a member of the Corporatist Cabal out of London aligned with the Bankers and Monarch/Peers...The most shocking aspect of this comment is the fact of anybody willing to believe ANYTHING of the Establishment. The same Establishment DELIBERATELY MURDERING MILLIONS while covering it and shielding those perpetrating it have no credibility.
ALL LIARS/PROPAGANDISTS/THIEVES/CHEATS AND MURDERERS WE WERE ONCE TAUGHT THE USSR GUILTY OF AND KNOW THE CCP IS GUILTY OF. The International Death Cult evil is now fully INCLUSIVE and spans the whole globe. Who believes any of the twisted evil and its spin?
To be fair, Biden is far from alone in that inability to successfully run a lemonade stand. I suspect quite a number of the “top men” (and ladies and those of indeterminate gender) in DC would also fail this test
I realized the other day that liberals do not regret Kennedy’s assassination - they welcome the fruits of LBJ’s Great Leap into socialism. Without Kennedy being murdered The Cause would have been stillborn.
Only conservatives mourn Kennedy. Only conservatives lionize him. But he was a son of the corrupt Clan, and a corrupt liberal at that.
Which shows how the “right” has allowed the Marxists to boil the American frog. Nixon won in 1960, but he allowed the Kennedy clan’s ballot rigging to pass for “the good of America”. Nixon would have done a better job than Kennedy with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and he would have kept America out of LBJ’s Vietnam War, kept America conservative.
Had Nixon fought Joe Kennedy’s - the entire Kennedy Clan’s - corruption this would have been for “the good of America.”
JFK inherited the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba from the permanent spook-ocracy. That in turn reified Castro's fears of a more competent U.S. invasion, which provided an opening for Soviet missiles. JFK realized this was no time for dramatic gestures, and made a deal with Khrushchev to de-escalate. A Soviet submarine commander who refused orders to launch nuclear missiles during a naval confrontation also helped avert WWIII. Contrast that with Biden's propensity for dramatic gestures, such as the demolition of the Nordstream gas pipeline and the exclusion of Russia from the SWIFT banking network. Both of these decisions were made without consultation, except among those involved in the operations, and both proved counter-productive to American interests. Biden now needs not only talking points, but behavior points, to get through a meeting. His advisors and handlers appear to be as self-deluded as the 'big guy' himself, sleepwalking toward WWIII while claiming their brain-dead candidate is 'sharp and focused': https://peterdanielmiller.substack.com/p/sharp-and-focused
On the darkest night of the Cuban missile crisis, as I sat with my father and listened to the radio, in my youthful and naive voice, I asked, "Dad, do you think we should build a bomb shelter?" My father, a nuclear physicist, broke into laughter, "Nope. That is not going to save you." With that disturbing news, I went to bed considering my impending fate. Who would have thought that so many decades later we would have a Dr. Strangelove president, all wide-eyed with dementia at the controls. Yikes.
This is a reminder that the nation is led by many people, but despite poor advice, Kennedy was very reasonable and practical. Most of all, he learned from previous mistakes and overruled the bad advice he was given.
This is a story, not THE story. The Secret Service gives these cheat sheets to every President. The story is...Biden reads it and still doesn't know which way to turn, what to do, etc. He's, like the Brits say, "Past it."
I never believed any president made earth shattering decisions, nor even small ones. They are a figurehead, do as they are told and are really just puppets. There is a whole lot of bad/good people behind the person at the helm making the decisions.
Kennedy not only refused an attack on Cuba; he also rejected the CIA and military Operation Northwoods and escalation to wage war in Vietnam.

I was only a small child back then but I remember Kennedy getting us into war with Vietnam.
He agreed to a policing, not war. He refused. Johnson on the other hand, really wanted a full attack...
Endless undeclared wars is a problem. Trump wants to put an end to endless wars.
