"We should always support willing patriots fighting for liberty and freedom against dictators; anytime, anywhere."

I agree completely. It would be a lot harder, though, with nuclear armed missiles staring down our throats from Cuba. This was particularly true at a time when the accuracy of an ICBM was measured in miles.

There is no question that Kennedy compromised to achieve this. He certainly weakened his position considerably when he failed to follow through with his promises at the Bay of Pigs. I have even a lot LESS respect, though, for Khrushchev.

You do realize you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. You criticize Trump for being too brash and also Kennedy for being to wimpy. Reagan was more brash with Tear down this wall and walking out of SALT.
