“To speak out against people who put the US in military and (more importantly imo) moral inferiority…” “Too label both sides as equally at fault…” Well which is it? You can’t have them both.
By far not his greatest rhetorical speech( Moon speech/Inaugural Address/Oct.22.'62) but one of his most insightful; "NÒT A PAX AMERICANA" Far ahead of his times-going for Détente in the mid-sixties which was Likely because he and Chroestjov-bóth WW II veterans-understood /even liked eachother. Kennedy never tried to humiliate the Russians. There was huge respect. Something that is painfully absent today. "In the final analysis.....>>>we're áll mortal" "Krieg führen ist wie den Tür eines dunklen Zimmers öffnen....-man weisst níe genau wàs passieren wird " A simple austrian soldier 20(!).6.1941.
George h.w bush and usa thank you. You saved us from evil rebels and starvation. Thank you america 🇺🇸, thank you George h.w bush, thank you USA soldiers and citizens.
They didn't supported us back in 1977 when we are at war with Ethiopia along with Soviet union. Sucha delayed Support of even "food"! What a shame to USA.
Oh, the days when we had adults debating how to address problems and moderators just managed time and didn't lie to support one candidate over another.
The worst thing you can do in a war is not understand your enemy or the reasons why they are fighting you. Johnson betrayed his ignorance in this and many others about the real reasons why the Vietnamese did not want outside influence in their wars. I am still baffled by how he could achieve so much and then lose so much when it was clear that he could not bend this nation to his will. Pathetic.
American people after Nixon: “What’s with all these deceitful, corrupt politicians? Why can’t we just get a kind, normal person who will tell it like it is? Carter: *is a kind, normal person who tells it like it is* American people: “WTF is wrong with this guy, why isn’t he telling us what we want to hear??”
Fast forward nearly 50 years, Donald Trump is saying that Haitian migrants in Springfield, OH are abducting and eating cats and dogs. We've fallen a long ways down.
2024 is much like 1980, a bad administration, the USA being laughed at, inflation, etc. No way Carter was going to win. The same crap is going on today. Trump 2024
He’s wasn’t necessarily wrong about Yugoslavia and Romania. Especially after the Prague Spring incident, plus Tito liked the free economic aid from both sides.
According to historian George Donelson Moss, Roosevelt deliberately misled Americans by reporting the Greer incident as if it would have been an unprovoked German attack on a peaceful American ship. This "shoot on sight" policy effectively declared naval war on Germany, and was favored by Americans by a margin of 2-to-1.
What Roosevelt failed to mention in his broadcast is that in each case the U.S. destroyers had been involved in attack operations against the German submarines, which fired in self-defense only as a last resort. Hitler wanted to avoid war with the United States at all costs, and had expressly ordered German submarines to avoid conflicts with U.S. warships, except to avoid imminent destruction. It was Roosevelt's shoot-on-sight orders to U.S. Navy vessels that were designed to make incidents like the ones Roosevelt condemned inevitable.
