Von #Eisenhower gibt es aus seiner „Chance for Peace“-Rede von 1953 ein ähnliches:
„Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.“

The #USA, well various administrations of, have a problem with the #Iran #Nuclear programme because it's some new threat. Yes?

#Eisenhower was great in many ways, but he also advanced institutionalized homophobia by dismissing queer & lesbain vets who helped him win WWII, revoking their pensions & unemployment benefits, & barring all LGBT people from jobs with the feds or its contractors!

The truth was that Eisenhower realized that unlimited war in the nuclear age was unimaginable, and limited war unwinnable.

Why is Iran in such a mess?

Eisenhower's farewell address, known for its warnings about the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex, was carefully considered, serious, and nearly 2 years in the making, as this video from the U.S. National Archives explains.
Watch this before #WarProfiteers delete it.
This book is an essential for all those people screaming their faith in #Eisenhower because he was not a nice man, he was just window dressing.
Now we know he was a murderer who instituted his version of #settler-colonialism within southern America and tried it minimally in Europe
EISENHOWER ADVISES U. S. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PREVENTIVE WAR Pittsburgh, Oct. 20-(AP)-Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower says "there is no such thing as a preventive war." Appearing in connection with the Carnegie Institute Founders Day program last night, the Allied military leader of World War II said "war begets conditions that beget further war." Eisenhower, now president of Columbia University, said he has noted recent suggestions, from many quarters that the United States begin a preventive war against Russia to forestall an anticipated Soviet attack. "Although this suggestion is repeatedly made," he said, "none has yet explained how war prevents war. "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war." "We must make certain," he said, "that the world understands our desire for peace. Internationally, we can stand on our record and purposes, as again presented by President Truman Tuesday night." To insure a free Europe under the Atlantic pact, more than a token of contribution of arms and men is expected from the U. S. Eisenhower declared, but he added "Each of the Atlantic pact nations must capitalize on its particular capacity for exertion or endurance, with the special emergency job that it will face at the moment of possible aggression. "Our own job is production and the ability to move strong units. and destructive power quickly over great distances."
Huh. Oct. 19, 1950. I had no idea Ike had ever spoken at Carnegie Tech in #Pittsburgh. The speech was carried live on Mutual Radio.
"Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war ... war begets conditions that beget […]
