Nobody Remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis

Nobody Remembers

Russia. We are told she is no longer a threat to us. She is no longer a super power we are told, and yet, Putin is bringing back the cold war, and he did it this week by putting a ‘spy’ ship in Cuba. And so those of us who DO remember this famous speech, also remember that on  9/11 a few dozen men brought the great United States to its knees…proving that Russia doesn’t HAVE to be a superpower…all Russia needs to do is get one EMP over the middle of the United States and we are toast.

Just one. Not a hard thing for many, and certainly not Russia.

When I listen to Kennedy, I can’t help but compare Kennedy with Obama…and realize the vast difference in intelligence. Kennedy at least acted like an American President. Obama acts like a political version of Will Smith. Not only has Obama put America back to the sixties in terms of racial relations, he has put America once again on a path where we will start living in fear because he sells weapons to our enemies, and attacks what few allies we have left.

Putin has finished his successful Olympics (Where Russians were top gold winners) and now he sends 150,000 troops to take back the Ukraine. Who’s going to stop him? Mr. Swift Boat John Kerry?

Last night I heard a general say on the radio that we will be down to just 100,000 troops that will be capable of firing bullets.

So, on that note, listen again to President John F. Kennedy, if not his finest hour, at least, unlike Obama, he made a bold attempt to control the situation…and it worked. If Obama had been President, I’m sure Youtube would not have been invented.
