Look Kennedy ran his presidential campaign in 1960. A lot happened between the end of WWII and 1960, and the cold war was well underway when he became president. He didn't instigate the cold war, and I give him credit for eventually attempting to deescalate the tensions between the two countries. Other presidents like Truman and Eisenhower were very instrumental in creating a divide between America and Russia yet you fail to focus on their role, and that does not mean I approve of some of the tactics Kennedy used, like the Bay of Pigs, which the previous administration orchestrated, and Kennedy went with it. Everyone died. However in the end he made many efforts to implement peace between the Soviet Union and the US. What about that Hotline, or the limited nuclear test ban, and didn't he call for a strategy of peace? I am not saying America good, Russia bad. I am not that black and white in my evaluation of things. You are simply interpreting it that way. Your type of rigidity is a good example of what Kennedy overcame in the end. The end.

Never turned him into a saint, but you try to make him the devil. Sick!
