You are certainly allowed to believe what ever fairy tale makes you happy and I am sure you would vote for the guy who; gave Cuba to the communists, got a bunch of our allies killed and started the "never trust the Americans to back you" trope, allowed the USSR to have a missile base in Cuba, got rid of our missiles in Turkey, screwed the pooch so badly in Vietnam that we ended up in a unnecessary war there and gave us the gift of unionized government employees. Not to mention LBJ that he put on the ticket knowing he was a crook so he could steal the vote in Texas. All gifts that just kept on giving and giving and giving.

You really believe all the same tired stuff that has been going around for decades don’t you without doing any real reading on the times and what was going on.
The Cuban Missile Crisis might not have happened if the Bay of Pigs fiasco had never happened, read up on that in detail, it’s as sordid as anything you will find.

Remember the U.S. had put offensive missiles in Turkey first which is not unlike the current war in Ukraine with the U.S. trying to have them in NATO to do the same to Russia again.

Don’t forget that Eisenhower started putting U.S. “Advisers” in Vietnam that helped start that disaster. I believe Kennedy saw that was a mistake and wanted to withdraw. But it was Johnson who escalated the war to the heights it was, not Kennedy. I also believe that Kennedy may have been thinking of dropping Johnson from the ticket, pure speculation maybe but there were rumors of it.

Lots of other information that has taken decades to come to light. You should take a look rather than cling to the old BS.
