If JFK hadn't stood up to Kruschev and the Russians and stopped their sending missiles in Cuba...I shudder to think where we would be today.

Most of our leadership were either babies or not yet born...and obviously many of these people spent their time, not studying history, but smoking whatever it was, rioting, and community organizing.

Likely the time between November 23, 1963 and January 20, 1969 would've worked out better with JFK than LBJ.

The whole world would have been changed if Nixon had won in '59. No Castro in Cuba. No "Cuban Missile Crisis." No "Vietnam" the way it was done.
