You're right about that. After the Bay of Pigs, the Soviet leaders considered JFK to be an inexperienced weakling who would back down under pressure. It took him several years, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Berlin Airlift, to remove that impression. Foreign policy under Kennedy was very badly handled by his crew of the Best & Brightest from Harvard.
