Gives Russia a basis to end the SMO and make it a war.

Genius move (not).

JFK was going to pull all military advisors out of Vietnam after the ‘64 election.

We all know how that worked out…

When they get blown up, don’t come whining that we have to “do something”.

He’ll recall them immediately...supposing they even have time to organize and deploy to the theater before he gets in office.

He’s going to also be walking into a potential port strike when he’s inaugurated in January. If I remember right the mafioso longshoremen union leader only agreed to praise the strike until mid January 2025.

“”””JFK was going to pull all military advisors out of Vietnam after the ‘64 election.””””

No he wasn’t, and these aren’t advisors, they are civilians.

JFK go us into the Vietnam War and he was not leaving it, at the time of this interview he had put almost 17,000 troops in Vietnam, although ever since the first advisors sent in 1950 every president had kept out of it (except for a few hundred advisors maintained continuously).

September 2, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy’s interview with Walter Cronkite
“these people who say that we ought to withdraw from vietnam are wholly wrong because if we withdrew from vietnam the communists would control vietnam pretty soon thailand cambodia laos malaya would go and all of southeast asia would
be under the control of the communist another domination of the chinese then india burma would be the next targetso i think we should stay”

“i don’t agree with those who say we should
withdraw that’d be a great mistake that’d be a great mistake i know people don’t like americans to be engaged in this kind of an effort 47 americans have been killed in combat with the enemy uh but uh this is a very important struggle even though it’s far away we took all this made this effort to defend europe now europe is quite secure we also have to participate we might not like it in the defense of asia we’re in a very uh desperate struggle against the communist system and uh i don’t want asia to pass into the control of the chinese i would think that would threaten the security not like today but in the 1970s late 60s that would substantially increase our problem increase the danger to india just 500 million people and if that would join with the rest o the communist bloc they’d be that much nearer to us”

😂👍. We are way better now. Just trying to figure the recovery time back to some semblance of normalcy. Gonna take some time no doubt. Surely the ultra left will be screeching on 1/21/2025 that he hasn’t changed anything yet. Raised the flag first time in 4 years Wednesday. Felt good. Next up, 8 years of JD. Still gigging so that’s good. Enjoy the weekend.

Existential Threat! Need t shirts.
