I agree with him

I saw the O'Reilly-Kucinich discussion, and like you, I think Kucinich made the better argument.

Here's the way I see it. The Soviet Union meddled in America's back yard (Cuba), so Kennedy took action.

Now it's America that's meddling in Russia's back yard, so Putin took action. The question now becomes this. Is Putin acting to defend Russia, or to expand Russia? I think (and hope0 it's the former, but time will tell.

The Soviet missiles that were put in Cuba were a direct threat to the United States. What threat is there against Russia in Ukraine?

I’ll agree with you that Kennedy tried to invade Cuba, in a fashion. But the US did not occupy Cuba. The Russians pay more attention to the “occupy” thing.

The USSR's meddling in Cuba consisted of placing nuclear-tipped missiles there aimed at the United States. Hardly equivalent to any US "meddling" in Ukraine.

We sure as heck took care of business when the Russians were trying to build an airbase in Grenada.

O’Reilly was more insufferable than usual. I almost always disagree with Kucinich, but he is always polite, and O’Reilly is always an ass.
