Hate to tell you, but that "clip" is faked. I saw the original broadcast, and it was not cut as this site claims.
But then again, since when is revolutionarypolitics considered to be an unbiased source? They are openly pro Russian, and pro-communist in their
orientation.
The comments posted underneath the clip show their thinking. People saying that Russia doesn't want missiles pointed at them from Poland (these are
defensive missiles only), and equating Georgia to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I was in the military during the Cuban Missile Crisis. How many of you were even alive? The Soviets attempted to put nuclear armed missiles in Cuba,
aimed at U.S. cities. Not defensive weapons, but purely offensive ones. They got caught, and they were forced to remove them.
But you stupid fools don't know any real history. You swim in all of your conspiracy nuttiness, and can't see beyond the muck you create in your
fould brains.
Yea, and the good ol USA was putting some stuff in Turkey that shouldn't have been there.

The climax period of the crisis began on October 15, 1962, when United States reconnaissance photographs taken by an American U-2 spy plane revealed
missile bases being built in Cuba, and ended two weeks later on October 28, 1962, when President of the United States John F. Kennedy and United
Nations Secretary-General U Thant reached an agreement with the Soviets to dismantle the missiles in Cuba in exchange for a no invasion agreement and
a secret removal of the Jupiter and Thor missiles in Turkey.
"and a secret removal of the Jupiter and Thor missiles in Turkey."
Got that?
Looks like it was US doing something rather retarded and for dubious reasons.
Of course at the time this was even more secret and blacked out. (Hmm, I wonder why THAT was?) Much more information out there over the crap we were
doing in Turkey, not too hard to find if you look. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
Now who's the fool?
