Kennedy ran on a “missile gap” claim, saying that we needed more nuclear missiles. We in fact were far ahead of Russia.
Kennedy confronted the Soviets during the Berlin Crisis.
Kennedy ramped up our military presence in Vietnam from 600 to 16,000, even creating the Green Berets in order to fight a counter insurgency war there.
Kennedy greenlighted a coup removing and killing President Diem because he found Diem uncooperative and JFK wanted more control.
Kennedy tried multiple times to have Castro overthrown and took us to the brink of war over the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The theory that JFK was a proto George McGovern peacenik seeking an end to the Cold War has to be among the stupidest of JFK revisionism yet concocted.
But since make believe JFK is more useful than actual JFK in order to further some choice conspiracy idiocy it’s easy enough to see why it’s bubbling up now like gas from a swamp.
This goofball history is popular among the young and gullible over at Twitter for those like me who find it entertaining albeit stupid.
Well said!
And not just Castro overthrown but JFK sponsored several attempts at assassinating him.
The Kennedy Cult is strong here!
If conspiracy idiocy could be turned into a pill, a fortune could be made supplying the addicts here.
They remind me of listening to the endlessly convoluted theories of my pot head friends 55 years ago. All we need is patchouli incense and some Moody Blues for background music. At least that bunch had an excuse for being dopes. Maybe we need a way to test freepers for cannabis.
