If you’ve seen “The Missiles of October,” you probably remember the scene in which JFK’s military advisers are calling for air strikes on Cuba. RFK responds by saying that he doesn’t want his brother to go down in history as an American Tojo.
Trump is facing the same kind of issue with North Korea. The questions for today are:
- Would it bother him to be known as an American Tojo?
- Does he even know who Tojo was?
My guess is that the answer to both questions is no.
