Only a mad man would roll the dice to risk nuclear war on a punk like Oswald. However, even the museum at the Texas depository hints at cover up to avoid war.

How does Jack Ruby fit into all of this?

Nah. No way would the KGB "wetworks" people gamble on one guy with a Mannlicher-Carcarno with a Brand-X telescope, surplus ammo and indifferent boresighting. Too big a chance that Oswald would have missed, been captured, and then spilled his guts (assuming that Jack Ruby wouldn't always have been available to silence him). The KGB was much better at things than this.
Much more likely some part of our own government got JFK and pinned it on Oswald who was more than likely already a government informant. JFK was way, way out of control - we almost went to World War III at least twice, he was chasing every skirt he could find, on drugs, and was going to have Hoover replaced when he was reelected.
If I were to guess, a really good shooter took out JFK, Oswald's rifle was planted and while everybody was still in shock, Oswald's dead. Our government issues the Warren report and all is smoothed over..

How does Jack Ruby fit into all of this? exactly.... Jack Kennedy courted Mafia types and his family were bootleggers...the source of all the family money. the Chicago mob probably helped Daley with the Illinois vote theft in the 1960 election....
then brother Bobby decides to get religion and go after them and their buddies in the unions. Can't have it both ways. Sam Giancanna and the Chicago Mob probably set the wheels into motion..

I still believe LBJ and Lady Bird were behind this.

I won’t argue the point but I will point out that I’ve stood at the window next to the one Oswald shot from at the book depository building in Dallas. Oswald was a Marine and I’m not but I have about an 80% certainty that I could have made those shots. Oswalds window is blocked by a plexiglass barrier and the point on the roadway where Kennedy was hit is marked by a painted “X” on the pavement. Dealey Plaza is surprisingly small.

Sounds good, but a “brand x” sight that is sighted in can work as well as any other, and “surplus ammo” seems to fire just fine. Do you expect them to send him in there looking like a super equipped Russian special forces guy?

"Exactly! And, Oswald was not that good of a marksman."
Internet lore and Oliver Stone rewrite of history. One of my instructors was a retired Marine. After a day on the range we all sat down at the local watering hole, and the JFK assassination came up during a discussion of marksmanship. As expected, the discussion was lively and became quite, ahem, animated. When one of the rookies made the mistake of disagreeing with the instructor's assertion that Oswald did indeed pull the trigger. My instructor slammed his beer mug down on the bar top and bellowed, "OF COURSE HE MADE THAT SHOT! HE WAS A GODDAMNED MARINE, WASN'T HE?" The place fell silent.
Yup. Every Marine a marksman. "Brand X" scopes, mail order Carcano, whatever. If something isn't leaking oil, or missing treads; if no "field expedient" is required, the Marines don't want it. They'll take whatever they've got and use it to the utmost lethality. No question.

The Democrats took out JFK. He was one miscue after another. The final straw was the affair with the communist spy. How do you explain that to a nation already wary of the Soviets? The press reports of that back in the 1960s would have set the Democrats back twenty years. So, they made a martyr out of him.
