In a Feb. 28 article entitled “Does it Take a War,” published on his substack platform, veteran reporter Seymour Hersh takes aim at the delusions guiding Joe Biden and his team in their prosecution of their proxy war against Russia at a time when antiwar sentiment is growing in the U.S. and was seen very visibly over the weekend of Feb. 25 in Berlin and many other European capitals.
Hersh points out that there is a parallel to this unreality factor that was seen during Jack Kennedy’s presidency and how the Vietnam war was prosecuted. He recalls the reports given him by historian David Herbert Donald, who met with Kennedy in early 1962 at an intimate gathering at the White House and later told Hersh that had he found the young President’s discussion of the Vietnam war “scary,” because of Kennedy’s misconceptions about what it took to be a “great” President. “I came away feeling that this was a young man who doesn’t understand history,” Donald told Hersh some years later.
