    Ooit had je Konrad #Adenauer
    als bondskanselier en #Eisenhower
    in ’t smetteloze Witte Huis. Ach, wat ’n tijden,
    toen men de Rus nog echt wilde bestrijden –
    en dan kwam nog de flower power!

    Op beschaafder tijden.

  11. #Eisenhower refused to aid #France with bombing runs in #Vietnam during the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. He financed French operations but did not get involved.

    #Kennedy broke that taboo by sending personnel to South Vietnam and financing South Vietnam

    #Johnson went full Monty, with manpower, bombs, aircraft the whole ensemble. Initially with bombing runs only. That gradually escalated.

    #Nixon capitulated in 1975 and #Saigon finally fell.

    It was a gradual slide. Sounds familiar?

    #Iran

  12. Her I was, thinking Putin’s abortive war against #Ukraine might be the trigger to WWIII, but it seems to be not working out lately. And now ol’ Donnie boy is trying to pull off a copycat job at #Iran with the same 2 day, I mean 4-5 week, I mean 3-4 month oops multi-year “plan” that’s blowing up (heh) into another #foreverWar. Maybe between the two of em they can pull it off and get the whole world into it. #Eisenhower knew what he was talking about 70 years ago.

  13. Huh. Oct. 19, 1950. I had no idea Ike had ever spoken at Carnegie Tech in #Pittsburgh. The speech was carried live on Mutual Radio.

    "Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war ... war begets conditions that beget further war," Ike said.

  14. When Ford learned as president that the #CIA had engaged members of the #Mafia in a failed effort to kill #FidelCastro during the #Eisenhower & #Kennedy years,he was dismayed & decided to form a special commission to investigate abuses by the intelligence community & suggest reforms. Days after announcing the formation of the #RockefellerCommission in Jan 1975, Ford accidentally shared at an off-the-record lunch with execs & editors from NYT that his concern about abuses involved #assassination.
