If you would actually trouble yourself to read the speech which you
are commenting upon you will see there was no blistering attack of the
Russians no references to a war in space.
You're quoting the Rice Stadium speech given on Sept 12, 1962.
I'm quoting the original address to the Joint Session of Congress
on May 25,1961.

In any events, were his comments about the Soviet Union _inaccurate_?

I don't think that the people of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, or Poland
would agree with this. They know that Communist Russia was an
aggressor nation.

We should have nuked Russia when we had the chance. 1949.

Yep, thank God you weren't president at the time. Think about it.
You'd have been Truman's replacement. He had already nuked Japan. And
here you are talking about nuking Russia 4 years later. Where would it
have stopped?! Our fear was that Hitler would have ended up being
someone that wanted to nuke everybody, just like you!

Godwin? Go ahead, make my day!
