So what is your point now - that Kennedy showed great resolve after we initiated a threat on Russia by placing tactical missiles in Turkey? We were provoking them first. Then he had a showdown. Observing that Domino Principle tactics were flawed doesn't make me a Republican worshiper. Kennedy got bad counsel from people like the young hawk Alexander Haig who played a role in all the 1960's fuckups in Cuba, including Bay of Pigs, poisoned cigars for Castro, and a number of other questionable moves leasing to the Crisis. Democrats had to avoid being "soft on Communism" so this actually made everyone less safe because they stirred up things and in the end, added a nuclear wager? It was a tactical error whose strategic impact was underestimated and could have easily erupted - it almost did and we are here to talk about it because of a Russian sub commander who refused to start the war despite being hit with a depth charge. en.wikipedia.org
