President John F. Kennedy's "Peace Speech"

"Our problems are man-made, therefore they can be solved by man."

Khrushchev was so impressed with this speech, he allowed it to be printed in it’s entirety, uncensored, in the Soviet Union’s official state newspaper “Pravda”.

Soul moving... war is never inevitable.. Makes you cry just to hear someone speak of peace, when the last twenty years have been spent in continuous war. 🦋🙏

I'm 76. This brought me to tears.

wait he doesnt sound like in clone high

Listen to this man speak. Then turn on your television, watch, listen, and meditate on just how far we have fallen as a country.

He probably wrote this himself. Damn. I wish we had men like this today. Watch it all. Not sure people know about his WWII service and survival. A very rich kid, surviving battle, risking his life for our country. God bless you JFK.

The world need to hear this now more than ever.

"For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." This line never fails to give me chills. It’s the true climax to what I (and many others, including Ted Sorensen, JFK’s speech writer) consider Kennedy’s greatest speech.

This is just brilliant. “If man made the problem, man can solve the problem” is such a good analogy too.

What a gift to this country. He was taken but he lives in these films. I will always remember and honor this great man.

I am 70 and this speech still resonates. Whatever JFK’s faults, I would rather have him our President today than anyone from either party.

Yes, there were once leaders who made brilliant insightful statements like this one.

Didn’t expect his voice to sound so... normal

we're alive today because this man and khrushchev were smart enough to step back from the brink

This is one of the few times I actually feel inspired by a Rich Boy graduating higher education. Not through the hardship he endured, definitely not, he could afford the best tutors and best classes, but through the result and full potential realized of a person who clearly cared more about the world around him than most of his contemporaries. Started the fight in Washington to end Segregation, Kept the World Safe in the height of the Cold War, and Inspired the Nation to reach for the Moon, literally. - May John rest in peace, left the world much better off from how he found it.

"We won't start a war" ... And then someone realized he had to be removed.

Articulate, intelligent, witty, educated and above all a man of honor, where are these men today?

This speech cost him his life. 3 November 1963

Words needed today. Who could be this brave ???
