In reply to the discussion: JFK Conference: James DiEugenio made clear how Foreign Policy changed after November 22, 1963 [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)"DiEugenio said President John F. Kennedy did not undergo a change of heart from Cold War hawk to liberal dove Democrat only after the hair-raising nuclear crises he experienced in office. "John F. Kennedy was never a Cold Warrior," DiEugenio said."
JFK was not a Cold Warrior. Cold meaning taking covert action or hidden or not directed right at the target: Russia. JFK was not a Hot Warrior, either. Instead he was a peaceful man who averted war and used overt actions to deliver that peace. Overt actions like bolstering other countries forces when asked to.
The Cold war was one that Nixon et al played. Instead of going right at Russia, they increased the war in Vietnam. Using Vietnam as a proxy. That was 'Cold', meaning we invaded Vietnam to try and defeat Russia! That became a hot war with millions dead. JFK wanted none of that.
Your spurious words are beneath what should be found in a thread like this. You should delete them and be on your way.
