"At the start of the crisis there were 36 R-14 Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. Kennedy opted for diplomacy and that probably prevented the all out war. If Kennedy had listened to his military advisers, Cuba would have been invaded and the rest ..."
all true , things I knew already and NO I wasn't wrong at all !
Kenedy did a fine , job , his brother , the Russian ambassador,Kruschev in the end and the US leading KGB agent of all things too were critical to a deal .
But no similarity to the present situation - no-one was invaded back then ,and back then ...as i POINTED OUT ... the US had the whip hand
Putin is not Kruschev !
Biden is right not to allow Putin to be rewarded for aggression , would be a very bad precedent .
Crimea was bad enough ... a line has been crossed !
But this isn't about the US , all Europe is very angry .
Crawl back into your hole !
