Curtis Le May was a dangerous man

JFK got good advice from Kenny. We need more people like that advising our Presidents.

Nobody I ever talked to remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis and I don't remember it. I remember a lot of articles about it, after it had happened and I think after JFK was dead.

A truly MAGNIFICENT MOVIE 🎥.> I LIVED THROUGH THE CUBAN⭐MISSILE CRISIS. Scared Americans to death...Our Dad and Mom, also. >>>12 Army Tanks from Ft Knox rumbled up our street. >>Dad talked with one of the Tank captains....scary October. Louisville KY. Michael W.Johnson retired.in modesto California

Puts fear of climate change into perspective. Nuclear war was a far more immediate and tangible terror to deal with

Military industrial Complex

so genius

I really feel that if it had been any other person besides Kennedy and his team, the world would definitely be a different place right now.

Amazing they trusted mcnamara.

Interesting subtext: It appears he's indicating a micro-managing scenario bc he doesn't trust his CoC. Johnson was widely criticized for micromanagement of Vietnam. He may not have trusted his Generals and Admirals either.

This is the one everyone knows about. The one you dont know about, is called ABLE ARCHER. We were all saved by a man called Oleg Gordievsky.

"The Navy won't let you down, Mr. President." Then, George HW Bush's CIA hit team, with the weight of the CIA and the Office of Naval Intelligence, killed him.

LeMay was always a complete a..hole.

Ah yes, the famous "invisible hand of the market" that ensured the triumph of capitalism... Hasn't it all turned out beautifully for us as well 🤦🏼‍♂️

R. Brian Ferguson has a brand-new book published! Please cover that. thanks

This is why the JEWS killed JFK and RFK they wanted a war out Kennedy resisted,

There was only ONE reason for the "chiefs" HATING JFK. Pure and simple, it was because he was a Catholic, nothing else. The Proddies have no inkling of the least of the Teachings of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

More American lies the missiles the USA put in to Turkey caused this crisis and the removal of them by the USA in a quid pro was what ended it, Kennedy was a corrupt war monger who only got into power because his criminal father payed the mob to fix the election.

KOSTNER IS A PUTZ

This is a perfect example of Kennedys failure... could not make the tough decesions. Some will say not attacking was the tougher choice. But he appeased the Soviets, and quietly removed the missles from Turkey. Dumbocrat chickenshit move.

after this dutton returned to his ranch

looks like the war machine is hungry again

The Jupiter missiles deployed in Turkey that lead to the Cuban Missile Crisis were placed there by JFK a few months into his administration.

General Lemay, to the other chiefs, "those god damn kennedy's are going to destroy this country, unless we do something about this"

I love how the US decides to impose a "quarantine" as if the US had any legal superiority.

It’s crazy to think how powerful the Soviet Union was from 1945-1980. People don’t realize the Soviets whipped us in almost every aspect of the Space Race. One of the craziest pictures I’ve ever seen in Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin taking pictures of the Soviets Space craft orbiting the moon at the same exact time the Americans reached the moons surface. They ultimately crashed and died. Ronald Reagan and his administration single handedly brought down our biggest enemy of all time. Now we have China, becoming even more powerful then the Soviet Union. In 5 years ever man from 18-32 could be in the pacific fighting the Chinese .

This movie should have been bigger than it was. I have the DVD and play it all the time.

That dialogue between Greenwood and Costner is fantastic - so well written and the music is perfect.

This film is excellent, very well done!

Of course the coolest head/hero in this superpower shit show was Vasili Arkhipov. His action is probably the closest thing to a divine miracle / act of God that has taken place in my lifetime. No…God doesn’t help football teams win games.

Bruce IS JFK .....he really nailed it

This scene is total Hollywood b.s. And Kevin Costner is not a convincing actor. Horrible accent.

I was two years old slept thru the whole thing did it turn out alright ? or is ukraine part 2

Our country and history would be so different if President Kennedy and Bobby were murdered. We didn’t deserve them. These were good men, doing their best to manage impossible tasks. It was only a few years earlier that the threat of the world ending actually became real. Then America goes from perhaps the greatest General and Leader the world had ever seen with President Eisenhower, to a 42 year old young man who fought it WWII, was an orator, and smart as a whip. The eeriest thing about Kennedy’s death is the last thing Eisenhower said to the America people, “Beware the Military Industrial Complex.”

LeMay was notorious for pushing both sides to the brink of war with recon flights. It’s little talked about today but the US lost over 200 airmen flying missions over Soviet territory during the Cold War. Frequently their mission was to get notticed, so that the Radar and radio transmissions from Soviet air defense could be analyzed. 129 of those men’s remains have not been accounted for as well. People think Gary Power’s U2 shoot down was a rare thing, but it happened constantly. In personal conversations LeMay even admitted he was trying to provoke the Russians.

Did you Trump MAGA people see his CPAC speech yesterday (3/4/2023)? Can you imagine that rambling nut job managing the Bay of Pigs!! Unfit to Serve!

Break the law mark

Daca vor trebuie sa și cunoască tacticile și consecințele razboiului

The only war the US ever won, was the Iraqi war, and lets not count some student uprising in a South American country, I consider it not a war, but a complete genocide. You simply do not kill a thousand people because they want to have a different government and call yourself "liberators" If US had gone to war with Cuba, it would gone the same way the first time they tried it and the second time they tried it, in utter failure. Except this time, the Soviets were prepared to retaliate, the entire Soviet airforce was on launch command and the best Warsaw divisions were on standby to roll into Europe, they had spent months preparing for WW3, the Soviets knew, never trust americans but they sure as hell also knew, they would damn well push them real hard when the americans stepped on their toes like putting missiles in Turkey.

President Kennedy may have been a corrupt drug addled sex maniac but he stopped the planet from getting blown up and put the two superpowers on the road to figuring out how to avoid every doing anything this stupid again (well, until Reagan came along but fortunately Stanislav Petrov and Gorbachev got us through that lunatic's Able Archer phase). That alone justifies his inclusion in the ranks of the great American presidents.

Scary how close to causing WW3 the Americans got and terrible how the covered it up after

Bruce Greenwood as JFK was awesome!

The Cold War was almost more scary just because you had to almost guess what the participants were thinking.

costner's boston accent is hilarious

Kennedy seems to have a convenient memory lapse during his recollection of the Bay of Pigs. He forbade the use of naval aircraft for the invasion and left the men sent in there to die. If the CIA invasion had succeeded no doubt, he'd have taken credit for the victory.

I don't like this movie or Kevin Costner in this movie cause it made it seem like Kenny o Donnell was in charge of everything stupid Kevin Costner

The thing is that things were actually a whole lot worse than anyone knew. First, a lot of the Soviet nuclear missiles were actually already armed and ready to fire. Had there been an invasion, the Soviet forces on Cuba were authorized and ready to resist it with nuclear weapons. The US marines coming on shore would have been vaporized in a mushroom cloud, and presto you have WW3. The Kennedy administration didn’t know those missiles were ready. Kennedy thought that the big danger was that if the US invades Cuba, the Soviets would invade West Berlin and what happens next? He didn’t know that an invasion of Cuba would itself be the trigger for WW3 aside from anything that happens in Berlin. And to make matters even crazier, I assume most people here already know about the Soviet submarine B-59 that was one turn of a key by one officer away from firing a nuclear torpedo at an American aircraft carrier, a pretty sure way to trigger WW3. The sub had been under water and out of communication for days, was getting depth charged by American destroyers (think Das Boot), and for all the crew knew, WW3 had already started and they weren’t going to die without fighting back. So they were going to put a nuclear torpedo into the nearest American aircraft carrier as a last act. But this required the top three officers on the sub to turn their keys. Two did, including the sub’s captain. The third refused. His name was Vasily Arkhipov. Had he gone along, none of us would be here now. Freakish to think that we are all around today because one Soviet officer kept his nerve under very crazy conditions. (By the way, who the F$!& depth charges a nuclear armed sub in international waters in the first place? Even if they were training-type depth charges with smaller warheads and couldn’t actually sink the sub, the sub’s crew don’t know that.)

Good thing we united against a common for. Magneto and his mutant group of thugs

One of the best movies of a president ever made!
