While Kennedy had certain patriotism about him and cared for the country despite some questionable stuff (like his dad's business and appointing his brother as AG) he did have some medical conditions which necessitated some significant medications which affected his mood, thinking and judgement. It's no wonder the deep state disliked him so much.

I talking about the guy who told his aides to tell world leaders he was mentally unstable and might nuke someone for fun. The guy who put staying in office over the health of the country until there was no option for him.

yes, if there's one thing richard nixon was known for it was radically disproportionate military response, such as the time he nuked china

Nixon had many incidents where he got very drunk and would get on the phone to important people and tell them to nuke, like, whoever he felt like at the time.
