How JFK Saved America From Nuclear Annihilation

JFK was by far a better President than most, and at the time, he stood up against soviet aggression. Our country would have been better if he had not been assassinated!

Yes, he was thoughtful, had a background in business and politics through his family and used survival techniques to help America. Too bad he didn't survive, as we might have had a much different country today, if he had.

He was brave and made a brilliant move in standing up to a bully. Although morally bankrupt, he was not in agreement with the military establishment and therefore had to be eliminated. Different times, and tragic consequences.

Charismatic leader at the time. Moved US further away from WWII initiated policies and strived to accept the world leader country role that WWII gave to America because of its military capabilities. Would be interesting to have seen if Vietnam conflict would have gone differently. Along with Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy , Nixon, the US became the dominant world leader of today that was assisted by a flawed communist doctrine of Russia . Than

JFK opposed a lot of what has since become what many call the Deep State. As a naval officer, he may have made a mistake as some critics accuse, yet he heroically made his every effort to save his crewmen; a spoiled selfish rich boy might have thought only of himself. He was accused of womanizing “after his death” by critics, not unexpected timing. I have long doubted the veracity of those allegations. JFK was a married man who adored his wife and children, starting a beautiful young family with hope for a better world than that in which he’d lived to that point in his life. His life was cut short by evil conspirators; only a naive bumpkin could believe the hogwash government story of his assassination. Cut short in the prime of his presidency, we will never know how great a man he might have been.

While he is Now considered a conservative, he brought this country further into the socialist slide. I was a teenager when he served but I remember his liberality. It’s easy to look back and make heroes of people, overlooking major flaws, especially when that person was assassinated

JFK was one of the very few great Democrat presidents, if not the only one.

He was a believer in the domino theory which is why he escalated our involvement in Vietnam. He was better than LBJ by far. I'm not sure it was best that we didn't take Cuba looking at it from today's lens.

A "great" President, I would say not. A good President with ambitions of righting the sinking ship that was starting to erode America, definitely so. Why do you think the commie infiltrated CIA/Secret Service (looking at you William Greer) assassinated him. Oh the many lies these administrations have told over the years all swept under the rug as "Conspiracy Theories". From my years of deep-diving and all the vetted information that has surfaced over the past decades into the governing bodies of this country, conspiracy theory usually translates into you're right over the target in terms of the truth..

Looking at history he was the right president at the right time. He actually managed to pull the country together a bit especially with his ask not what your country can do for you, but you can do for your country. He had character flaws as many people do but handled a couple of difficult situations well considering his inexperience. Unfortunately due to his assassination and short time as president we’ll never know exactly how his long term presidency would have turned out.

In my opinion, JFK was the last real Democrat and his assassination was devastating to the future of our country and the beginning of the decline of the Democrat party.

Not as good as Truman or Eisenhower. He met ONE crisis well. He lost his command through negligence in WWII, and was exempted from court martial by his father's influence on FDR.

He made some good decisions and bad decisions. He was a patriot and a far cry from members of his own party today.

I would consider him a good president but not great.

The fact that he was killed in broad daylight, during a parade, says everything! Looking back at history, even our most recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, all the greats are killed.

Lincoln, Malcom X, MLK, Kennedy, Kirk are all perfect examples of greatness. They were a threat to evil. They stood for the good of Everyone. They demonstrated true patriotism. They stood for democracy. They stood....and they were killed.

My bet? If given the choice, they'd do it all the same.

Was Kennedy great? Yes he was.

Camelot.

JFK was not even close to being a great president.

My hero. Great president no matter what.

The Bay of Pigs invasion was a CIA operation that the young Kennedy was reluctant to cancel but he was able to avoid all out military support. That may have been what put him in the crosshairs of the CIA.The CIA took action for many regime changes in the world during the Cold War; was the Kennedy assasination one of them?
