Jack Kennedy CAUSED the Cuban missile crisis by putting Jupiter
missiles in Turkey less than 100 miles from the Soviet Union. Anybody
with more than 2 neurons would have expected the Soviets to respond in
kind. Guess what, the agreement for resolving the crisis was that the
Soviets remove their missiles AND the USA would remove the missiles
from Turkey. I'd say Krushev was the hero in that Crisis by backing
down. I hate thinking good of the Soviets but in that case they were
right.
And the Bay of Pigs, what kind of moron would agree to such a thing
AND then not support it once it was going? Pure Kennedy cowardice.
