Is it wrong to decry the decline of world leadership quality?

Probably wrong. In the words of Byrne 'Same as it ever was'. From Kennedy, to Nixon, to Clinton, to Bush and beyond.

Kennedy was a junky sermingly with a chronic sex addiction. Charming on the surface, but pretty messed up.

I couldn't give less of a shit about his sexual exploits. Fact of the matter was he conducted himself like the fucking President of the United States well enough where you didn't feel embarrassed telling others that he was the President of your country.

That the bar has been lowered to Earth core levels remains a sad commentary on humanity.

I disagree. I think he also handled Vietnam like a muppet thus leading to a lot of mess that did not need to happen. The result was America basically going bankrupt a long time after himself of course.

Disagree all you like. Doesn't stop you from being wrong. Also, I suggest you bone up a little on American history. The Vietnam War postdates Kennedy. Escalation of the war is mostly attributed to Lyndon B. Johnson. So in your rush to join the chorus and throw dirt on a President you know zilch about... get your facts straight.

Conducting himself like a president? He did all the same shit he just didn’t get caught.

Kennedy expanded something that could never be finished and the result a decade later was the US so broke it could not commit to the gold standard. Not the best source, but I know my contemporary US history. It is just a fact that Kennedy used chemicals that create cancer on a country which is far worse than anything Assad did not actually do and himself expanded warfare in the region. It was bad judgment.
