No, not really. Kim and North Korea are nothing compared to the Soviet Union. Besides, this is still not over.
Trump will not be given credit for this.
President Trump is a great deal maker. Perhaps he can make a mega-deal with China, offering China enough to abandon North Korea.
The Russians could hurt us. The North Koreans could not.
The Cuban missile crisis was real, my Brother-in-Law was flying P2Vs right off the coast of Cuba.
What the press got intentionally wrong was it was Khrushchev who came out ahead.
No. JFK only got the Commies to back down by giving up territory of vital strategic importance to this nation in Turkey.
Trump stared down Red China and Fat Man Kim and got them both to blink without losing a single American life, dollar or any strategic interest.
It was an incredible victory.
No comparison whatsoever. America both military & civilian was scared and on a war footing in October 1962.
Kim Dong Fatso gets mostly a ho-hum from America now. Not even a hiccup in the stock market or the price of gas.
What was the price for China’s connivance..?
I will bet it was the South China Sea..!
I hear little Kimmy hasn’t been see in a week or so any truth to this....
this article is complete and utter lies - it’s worse than fake news
I hate to tell you, but in the big picture we only broke even in what’s known as the Cuban Missile Crises. A lot of the “history” is designed to make Democrat JFK look good and tough in the face of Soviet “aggression”.
Here’s the sequence of events that make up the bigger picture starting before the October events known as the “Cuban Missile Crisis”:
1. U.S. missiles to Turkey
2. Soviet missiles to Cuba
3. Soviet missiles withdrawn from Cuba
4. 6 month delay
5. U.S. missiles withdrawn from Turkey.
Our missiles were withdrawn quietly with no U.S. press and 6 months after the Soviets withdrew their missiles from Cuba per the agreement between Kennedy and Khrushcev. But don’t kid yourself, Khrushchev got what he wanted, which to was to get those missiles out of Turkey.
Extremely good basic 5 min tutorial of the parameters of the Nork vs. US forces on Guam and how a conflict might play out:

This video is not in one of those SUPER ANNOYING computer synth voices in which technical acronyms are totally effed up, confusing viewers.
Uh no!
The MSMLSD will make Kim-Jun-Fat Boy the hero.
Get back to me on this when schoolkids start hiding under their desks ...
