        American politics is evolving backwards. Republicans are happy to ignore the danger in the Oval Office. We're all at risk.

        JFK was a true leader unlike the moron currently occupying the Oval Office. Thanks for reminding us that a peaceful solution is better.

        Khrushchev wept when he heard about President Kennedy's Assassination.

        I do not see the part where USA engages to remove their missiles from Turkey.

        JFK's first page didn't mention anything about our missles in Turkey that likely caused the Soviet buildup.

        "...Announce to the world in couple of days..." Would the outcome be the same if Twitter and Wiki leaks were in the mix. # typewritten

        I guess the US military resources in Turkey (was it Turkey?) were not overtly on the table. Or, was that even a thing?

        There were US missiles in Turkey targeted at USSR that were removed as part of the bargain.

        Crisis ended b/c Khrushchev blinked. JFK weakness & inexperience triggered Russians in the first place.

        Not so. Crisis BEGAN when US put 15 Jupiter missiles in Turkey aimed at Moscow 06/1961. USSR retaliated by doing the same in Cuba.
