That’s a very interesting read. I often wondered how close we came to destruction, and how often.

From near the end of the article:

“Where did you get the idea that we wanted to attack? We, too, only had weapons for defence,” Petrov tells him. “Damn the politicians — we all want to live without fear that this world can be destroyed.”

He may very well be correct in that assertion.

Unfortunately, we all now face an opponent that demonstrates on a regular basis that it revels in the attack and eagerly looks forward to death.

I’m of the opinion that our Constitution would have fared better in the wake of a nuclear attack as opposed to the constant drip-drip-drip of liberals, progressives & federal bureaucrats...

“Damn the politicians — we all want to live without fear that this world can be destroyed.”

Truer words are hard to find.

“if they were going to attack pre-emptively, they would do so with more than just five missiles.”

Nice to know that we can safely deliver up to five MRV’s
safely to Russia.

We had a much closer call than this event...

Read “Red Rogue”...in 1969 a Soviet nuclear sub actually launched a nuclear missile at Pearl Harbor...

Thank God the Kremlin had secretly installed protocols for stopping a Rouge attack...

Without the extra codes from the Kremlin the missiles exploded in the tubes...when launched...

Now that Obongo is in the White House, they are upping the ante.

. . . prompted Ronald Reagan’s infamous remark that the Soviet Union was an “evil empire.”

Infamous, maybe. 100% accurate, for sure.
