The Iran Problem Was Manmade By Two Unfit Leaders.

 President Kennedy in a Peace Speech before the American University in June of 1963 said, "our problems are manmade and therefore can be solved by man" which was articulated by how his administration governed.  The problem concerning Iran's nuclear program was made by two men, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu who rejected an Iran treaty that took place during the Obama administration and was then killed when President Trump during his first term withdrew from the treaty.  The killing of the treaty by Trump lifted all the restrictions placed on Iran in the treaty and his nuclear ambitions.

The problem created by those two men, Trump and Netanyahu, and their only solution to the problem they created after 8 years was war in a military attack against a sitting duck country by two major nuclear powers.  President Kennedy faced a more dangerous problem for America and its people during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 when Russia installed ICBM missiles and nuclear warheads in Cuba only 90 miles from the east coast.  President Kennedy installed a naval quarantine around Cuba to prevent Russian ships from delivering more armaments to Cuba, had our military prepared to invade if necessary but used diplomacy as the first option.  Diplomacy worked, Russia dismantled the missiles and returned them and the nuclear warheads back to Russia which was verified by the navy quarantine.

President Kennedy's actions during the crisis indicated how a manmade (Khrushchev) problem could be solved my man without war.  Trump and Netanyahu took the position that the manmade problem in Iran they created could only be solved by war.  President Kennedy faced an Elephant problem with the Russia/Cuba missile crisis without going to war.  Trump and Netanyahu faced a Flea problem with Iran and choose the war option.

Cuba has never been a nuclear threat to the U.S. since the missile crisis ended 63 years ago this October.  And that really says it all.
