JFK was a really lousy President and a dreadful man. There were plenty of people who would have wanted him dead, including the FBI, the CIA, LBJ, and the Mafia. I don’t know about the Soviet Union—they could hardly have found a stupider president to fight against than JFK, who was too busy chasing women and massaging his back to fight a war properly.
I beg to differ. First there was no "war", only advisors if you're referring to Viet Nam. Johnson was the president who increasingly put our troops there and ultimately lost it do to his and Defense Secretary McNamara's micro-management, not to mention Conkrite and the hippies.
JFK was probably the last conservative principled Democrat in the Oval Office. In case you have read the wrong books or just have your facts wrong, JFK faced down the Soviets while they were installing possible nuclear tipped missiles in Cuba just off our coast. That is an indisputable historical fact.
Yes, the Bay of Pigs was a bad call (like Carter's disaster rescue mission in Iran), but JFK got those missiles out of Cuba!
I was a child while this was happening and had to practice drills under my desk. Since becoming an adult, I have learned to admire the man for his strength, wisdom, and resolve while the Soviets were building missiles just off Florida. He drew a red line in the sea against the Soviet ships bringing in more missiles. He stood by that red line rather than move it as we see so often nowadays. He won the day. He stopped the further transport of missiles and the Soviets dismantled their missiles in Cuba.
I believe JFK was a strong, principled, thoughtful, determined leader in the vein of President Reagan. President Trump is getting close. We'll see how he works out. You've got it wrong about President Kennedy. He may have played with Marilyn Monroe (never proven), but he backed down the Soviet mechanism lead by Khrushchev, the the most tyrannical Soviet leader since Stalin who wanted to nuke us all - he said so as pounding on his desk with his shoe. He was a crazy f*ck, but JFK put him in his place.
That took wisdom, patience, playing chess rather than checkers, and absolute support for our country. He and and his brother, along with his staff averted a nuclear holocaust. I will be forever thankful for JFK being in the Oval Office and that crucial moment in history, or else I would probably not be discussing this with you. Sorry you don't understand that JFK and advisors averted end world.
As for why and who assassinated JFK and Bobby, I don't think we will ever find out. However, I don't believe it was the CIA. What would be their motive and risk of exposure? My best guess would be Soviet operatives because JFK and Bobby were fearless in their opposition regarding the Soviet threat and may have been a payback for kicking them out of Cuba. The Soviets knew that Bobby was next in line and wanted some p*ssy like Johnson they could manipulate.
