JFK Conference: James DiEugenio made clear how Foreign Policy changed after November 22, 1963

[H2O Man]

78. "Cold Warrior"

Perhaps the single largest success of JFK's thousand Days was the showdown in the waters surrounding Cuba. The Cold Warriors demanded war, despite the fact that it risked millions of deaths -- including in the USA.

If one considers the two US Presidents, both before and after JFK, the is little doubt they would have opted for military aggression. Now, that includes two Democrats, as well as Republicans. And those four are the best comparisons of other politicians of that era, to allow us to consider the proper context of those events.

JFK, with the help of RFK, found another way. And those events, rooted entirely in the thinking and values of President Kennedy, are the most accurate measure of if he was or was not a "Cold Warrior."

As always, your OP attracts inaccurate attacks, much like fly paper attracts flies.
