Ok, disabuse yourself of the JFK myth! By November 1960 we had intelligence that Castro was receiving Soviet Sino weapons (a 40 ton shipment). Kennedy states he will support the Bay of Pigs. He then listens to Adali Stephens and Bobby regarding the international political ramifications of a full military assualt on Cuba and so he pulls air support within 24 hours of the paramilitary landing. It's a shit show from then on out and, oh by the way, the Soviets are able to place their missiles in Cuba that later became known as the 'Cuban Missile Crisis.' Give me a break, JFK's weak leadership gave the Soviets a foothold 90 miles from our shore.
well said Maria; USA forever; and the US was close to getting its own 90 mile foothold by placing its own largely peaceful missiles 90 miles away from Moscow; a move of benevolence and fraternity; now sadly thwarted by that awful Putin. Can't these people see the good that the US wants to do around the globe?
I understand your point and agree that Americans want to do good around the globe but the rest of the world is sick and tired of being the recipients of the backlashes, such as the price of diesel caused by your interference in Iran.
John, do you AT ALL recall that Hillary was GOING to win? Remember those days? Only fool Trump thought he had a chance, and word is that he didn't believe she would lose, either. But, he ran. People responded.
Dog caught bumper.
So, here we are. Don't read the galaxy of meaning into it.
Trump got in and over his head in Day 1. His own FBI pulled the carpet out. How long would you last if FBI sidelines your AG and prosecutes your NSA on Day 1? You wouldn't last to Day 2.
Trump got manhandled by criminals, won (lost) a criminal election, fought off real convictions for four years, then won again, and is now playing more hardball. You can criticize legitimately but you also have to acknowledge that there was no other human who stepped up in the last decade who could have pulled off what Trump did. If not, name that person.
Do you think Trump meant to be an honest reformer back then or do you think it's been a con all along? My best guess is he meant it but has been corrupted and/or threatened. Would love to hear what you think.
He didn't buckle to anything. He's playing his preordained script set up decades ago (millennia actually). The Apprentice of the Evil One should have been the correct name of that reality tv show.
You’d do way better understanding the landscape by researching exactly who, among current and recent leaders, are graduates of the WEF Young Leaders Program. Do names like Merkel, Gates, Trudeau, Macron, B Johnson, Putin (May have dropped out), and of course Newsom ring a bell? A link to an annual list of key political graduates was posted somewhere on X several years back for concerns about who is brainwashed vs bought, sometimes both!
You say, "As for the public—it it so blinded and divided by partisan sentiment that it cannot see that whatever “candidates” are presented to us are the opposite sides of the same old coin."
Such self-flattery of yourself, and your arrogance towards others speaks more of you John, that YOU - - - -who purports to be a historian, only want to pin "stupidity" on "the public" - which of course, doesn't include you...
Yet I've never seen an honest assessment from you of the vapidness of Obama's campaign rhetoric, or an analysis as to why so many thought "Yes we can" was a true measure of policy which was good for America. Who do you think "autopen" really was? Obama told anyone with ears to hear - right out in the open. Do you remember?
I've never seen any thoughts from you as to WHO might really be pulling the strings behind presidents. Surely you know by now, that most presidents are essentially in a gin-trap?
Did Obama's empty oratory blind you to the stupidity of voting him in? What about Churchill? Do you think his oratory was actually what the public wanted?
Do you think either of the Bush's were any better?
Do you HONESTLY think that the votes of people realllllllly make a difference, and that the real powers that be, don't have a drop down menu of Plan B -Z with fractions in between?
Because if you do think who you vote makes a difference, then watch this, because the breadth of planning for this, tells you that there are indeed invisible hand, treating us all as designated chess players to be moved by them. If watching this doesn't give you a dose of the mental squits, then nothing will:
And if you had any real biblical nouse, the person you should be watching closely and analysying, and fingering, isn't Trump. It's Jared Kushner, because more and more, he is the unelected "administration" that is the person pulling the world into disaster. Or are you too scared to go there?
And if you can't see that he is a core cog in the string puller's wheels, they you are as blind as the public you are ruthlessly excoriating with such great ease.
Reminds me of these lines from Laurence of Arabia:
"Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men – courage and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men – mistrust and caution. It must be so."
I have to say the world currently has the worst leaders, as a group, of anyone I can find in history. Putin may be the smartest leader among them all. Alas, the prediction that Western Powers will fail shortly seems to be coming to pass.
King Lear is a play from the 1500's when life in England was dominated exclusively by monarchy and the memories of medieval times. Comparing current American Presidents who are elected in a free society in a Constitutional Republic in modern times strike me as both absurd and comical. IMO, such comparisons may be more aptly considered 'for entertainment purposes only', than be taken in any serious context.
Really?......'old men' in power??
How about........SATAN-WORSHIPERS, in power!!
Because I can give you a DAYS-LONG list of 'young politicians', currently in power.......
young and old.......they ALL have ONE thing in common.......
SATAN-WORSHIPING, ANTI-HUMAN/ANTI-LIFE PEDOS!!
With all seriousness…you appear desperately in need of a psych eval..
Nice Caps shout outs!!
Yes, there's Satan worshipers..... always have been

there was a tad of irony there Steve
Closed loop. Gathering yes men and no one is allowed to dissent without fear of be ostracized.
Yes. The incompetence and evilness of Rubio and Hegseth can't be blamed on old age.
hahahaha
Rubio?
Old men send young men to die!
Yes.
They're just fools.

That was a decade ago. Things change.
Trump got in and over his head in Day 1. His own FBI pulled the carpet out. How long would you last if FBI sidelines your AG and prosecutes your NSA on Day 1? You wouldn't last to Day 2.

Do you believe that from the 80's to the present day that Trump wholly loves America?
If so, then give him his credit for laying it all out there.
He did buckle to the Fauci psyop. He's human.
All this other fear porn about Trump, is wasted time.
The crux of the problem, is that the left can't produce a decent leader that believes in America.
He didn't buckle to anything. He's playing his preordained script set up decades ago (millennia actually). The Apprentice of the Evil One should have been the correct name of that reality tv show.
And dementia and corruption and lack of ideals add up.

I don't think age is his problem. He's kickin' ass. Better gird your loins for November, John.

Team Trump.
5 hours of a review of Satanism - haven't noticed any mention of Trump.
Obama - yes
The Bushes - yes
Clinton - yes
JFK no - he pushed against secret societies - to his detriment.

I have to wonder if it’s becoming more and more difficult to avoid entanglement with “clever, sycophantic snakes.”
I have to say the world currently has the worst leaders, as a group, of anyone I can find in history. Putin may be the smartest leader among them all. Alas, the prediction that Western Powers will fail shortly seems to be coming to pass.
"bent on destroying them". Maybe destroying them is just a side effect of them stealing whatever wealth they can while they are in power.
