The only reason why we didn’t die in nuclear holocaust at the Bay of Pigs is because Soviet showed restraint and humanity. JFK played the escalating card to the point that the communist were horrified by him.

Operation Northwoods was also considered

USA was terorist country way before Trump. The only difference between Donald Trump and JFK, Obama, Bush, Regan, ... is that he is not hiding and not pretend to be what he is not.

I think you're mixing up two different incidents there lemming

It’s possible

The only difference?

The Bay of Pigs was the CIA-backed invasion/attempted coup of Cuba, you're thinking of Vasily Arkhipov, who prevented nuclear holocaust during the Cuban Missile Crisis

From a non-US person yes, that is the only difference.

From an uninformed person, you mean. I’m not from the US either.

Just mentioning this for no reason?

I try my best to raise awareness of these things, because it is very obvious to me that the US is hurtling FAST towards extremist fascism, and I don't believe either of the major parties is doing enough to stop it.

So many people on Lemmy want to stick their heads in the sand and play the same old team sports as usual, but we need to wake up and realize the team we are on is the working class, and the democrats and the republicans are both on the enemy side - the ruling class - and unless we wake up to the reality that we have been manipulated into vesting our trust and power in people who do not represent our interests, and actually start fighting for a better world on our own terms, we will all lose.
