I'm from the U.K so he was not my president, although i do admire Kennedy.
That's probobly just how the movies and history portray and record the event. Kennedy had his masters to answer to also i imagine, same with Khrushchev.
Stupid men with no real idea as to the implications of there actions should it have come to pass. The real masters of the military industrial complex would never be so short sighted as to cut off the hand that feeds them by initiating full on nuclear conflict.
If cooler heads had not prevailed we would not be having this conversation, there would be no internet we would be back in the postindustrial era, if even alive.
Its always been a Poker hand, a game, you cannot win a hand of cards if you destroy 99% of the deck. These people don't rely on luck, they make there own.

it's called "protecting your interests"...it sounds so benign...defensive even. Like you're on a noble mission...of protection...you know...the innocents and all that stuff.

Russia is making a valid point here.
No it's not. The United States will never use nukes as a first strike... Russia might have to, as it is outclassed by America and its allies in conventional warfare.

If the USA will never engage in a first strike, why has First Strike remained a stated contingency of US military plans since the Cold War and has never been repudiated by any US President or by any act of the US Congress? The USA has refused to issue an universal no first use statement of intent. It has only promised not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states that live up to the USA's nuclear non-proliferation goals for them.

I just want to remind everyone of Putin's frustration with the US.
Accuses the US of telling lies all the time to them and to the people through the media.
He says we are all in grave danger and we the american people don't even realize it.
And here he speaks about our elections.

Thanks for those videos. It is pretty clear that Putin has had enough of the American war mongering, criminal govts. that have plagued the world for decades. At this point, I think more nations need to stand with Russia.
