Eisenhower was a pretty solid President, but he had plenty of fuck ups, let's be real. Especially when it comes to foreign policy, which was supposed to be his strong suit, but he actually did much better domestically.

I think he was a solid General in World War Two.

As President, his legacy is the Domino Theory.

Everything Kennedy gets blamed for, was actually Eisenhower.

Go back and check.

Domino Theory.

Cuba.

Indochina.

It was Ike who built that.

But the domino theory wasn't a shitshow under Ike. Ike managed to avoid destroying our national morale and foreign policy during his time in office. Kennedy fucked it all up. Granted, Johnson put the final nail in the coffin, but Kennedy made Ike's brilliant ideas way worse. Ike led us to victory in WW2, and made 1950's America a utopia, and among the best time in our history. We will never get another Ike. But we sure as shit will get Kennedy's from now on. Ivy league bubble fags who pontificate about inequality and racial problems that they live their entire priveleged lives miles away from and who are undeservedly worshiped as celebrities. Ike earned everything he got. Kennedy got handed everything on a silver spoon. Ike trolled the press while playing golf. Its true. He's like an earlier more subtle Trump. I Like Ike. Kennedy's only claim to fame is having an even bigger POS follow him.

That's certainly the biggest minus in his column.

Ike solved the Iranian crisis too. Mossadegh got in bed with commies. The Tudeh party was disgusting and Mossadegh was a demagogue shitpan leader. The mullahs and much of the Iranian public hated him too. Ike initiated AJAX (which was far more organic then is traditionally described by Carlin faggots) and put the Shah in power. This peaceful enlightened ruler lasted a quarter century before Jimmy Carter fucked up Ike's sound policy and allowed Pahlavi to get medical cancer treatment in the US, leading to the Iraninan hostage crisis and another potential nuclear war. Carter, like Kennedy, ignored Ike's guidance and we as a nation suffered. Sad.

Yes it was. He was letting the French dictate policy to America.

The French imperial project in Indochina, 80% funded by America.

Because Domino Theory.

Which he just pulled out of his ass at a press conference, off the cuff.
