In this address, JFK delivers a passionate defense of peace. Up to this speech by JFK, the Russians had jammed all broadcasts coming from America. They let this one go through unjammed, and after this speech, stopped jamming all American broadcasts. This speech was widely read and praised across Russia, while it was largely ignored by the American press.
JFK was calling for the end to the Cold War. And that just wouldn't cut it with our military-industrial-Congressional complex.
