The U.S. government considered manufacturing or obtaining Soviet aircraft in order to launch an attack on American or friendly bases that could then provide an excuse for war, according to newly released documents.

The documents are part of an October release of thousands of formerly classified files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It describes a March 22, 1962 meeting that discussed “the question raised by the attorney general on the possibility of U.S. manufacture or acquisition of Soviet aircraft.”

The meeting was held by the “Special Group (Augmented),” which according to an encyclopedia on the Central Intelligence Agency, included Attorney General Robert Kennedy, CIA Director John McCone, National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer. And while not members, President Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk would attend meetings.

Not very nice of US. If Kenedy who is presumably one of the greatest POTUSes was that bad then what about your average potus?
In any case, it's consistent with my view that US was on average much more paranoid than USSR during Cold War.

And what about now? why do we assume anything has changed?
Why do we assume that there will be no similar Obama files released in 50 years, where they tell that US was very actively involved in Ukrainian coup? With all the jucy stuff like US ambassador calling Yanukovich and telling him "You are dead man unless you flee to Russia"? (I am just speculating)
