        Frightening time for the 🌎. Kennedy was a Navy man but listened to all & made a measured decision to avoid WW3. 🇺🇸 more dangerous bc of T.

        Stupid move by Kruschev. He had to restrain Castro from starting WWIII.

        So US nukes in Turkey were ok, but Russia nukes in Cuba "threatened to engulf world in nuclear war"? Is that objective historical analysis?
