Putin simply channeling JKF in ’62 over Ukraine interference

No one word appears on how America broke its promise 30 years ago not to expand NATO up to Russia’s doorstep; even placing offensive weaponry nearby. Not one word on how America inspired and supported the 2014 coup in Ukraine to depose the Russian leaning president to turn Ukraine away from Russia and its welcomed economic overtures to Ukraine.

We’re told Putin is simply an aggressive brute trying to re-establish the Soviet Union.

But nearly 60 years ago, revered U.S. president John Kennedy, brought the world to the brink of nuclear Armageddon to do precisely what Putin is doing today: demanding a strong nuclear adversary remove its offensive weaponry and influence from his neighborhood.

Indeed, Russia had more justification for putting nukes on America’s doorstep in client state Cuba than America has doing the same to Russia today in Ukraine. The Russian missiles were being installed to prevent another U.S. invasion of Cuba just 16 months previously. They were also Russia’s answer to U.S. nukes placed on Russia’s doorstep in Turkey. Yet, when Russia backed down, the U.S. forbad Russia from even mentioning that the resolution included a secret U.S. pledge to remove those offensive missiles in Turkey at a later date. JFK demanded and got a Win-Win for the glorious USA.

President Putin may be a thug at home. But on international affairs he’s simply channeling one of America’s greatest presidents. The U.S. government and its fawning mainstream media would be wise to recognize and heed his sensible demands…and get the hell out of his neighborhood.
