With the full consent of the Cuban leadership, on May 11 of this year, our country has not only resumed work in the electronic center of Lourdes, but also placed the latest mobile strategic nuclear missiles "Oak" on the island. They did not want to do it the amicable way, now let them deal with this," Putin said.

This would be a good time for space aliens to invade...since everything else is going down the drain...why not?
I’m angry too! In 1962 I was taught to dive under desks at school. Fat lotta good that would have done. I never forgot or forgave the Cuban commie bastard! Unreal that he is still alive and still near the seat of power. Someone should remind Fidel that he can’t take an air conditioner where he’s going.
I was in high school at the time. I saw convoy after convoy of bombs, Hawk missiles...you name it, headed into MacDill.
I saw RF-101s zoom climb and head south after takeoff.
Scary stuff.
Well DUH! They didn't build those missiles themselves!
Hmmm, well, ummm, Kennedy was a womanizer, I think Bend Over Barry is more of a manizer...
History Stutters...
bargaining chip.
Russia will offer to pull those nukes out of cuba if we do not install the missile shield in europe or some other crappola.
Me too, it had a special urgency as school was on a Marine Corps Air Station in the south east.
It worked for the Soviets in '62, we pulled our missiles from Turkey, they pulled theirs from Cuber.
Might have been a tight end as a kid....but I think he is a wide receiver now.
Question is ~ Who is his dominator that is calling the shots?

Like Obama without his teleprompters. :-)
“Sorry for the dbl post but my hands are shaking with anger.”
I don’t blame you. I know the feeling.
I was on a submarine off the Havana coast during that time in ‘62 then spent the entire summer of ‘63 in Gitmo.
As long as a news item is exciting and you can be outraged about it, people don't care if it's true or not.
When they hit us, we should be sure to hit the islands hard enough back that they are below sea level. That will solve that issue.
Nothing like a Manchurian president to stir things up.
I was a young seaman apprentice just out of boot camp. I had just completed 6 weeks of the normal 8 week training course at YN”A” school when I and 8 other classmates received emergency orders in November 1962 to the Naval Communication Station in San Juan to relieve/assist Radiomen process flash traffic to all naval units in the area. They gave us interim secret clearances and a typewriter. I’ll never forget the sea of endless yellow tape.
Port and starboard duty (8 on and 8 off) for two months but since I was a young 18 at the time I managed a LOT of liberty in Old San Juan (mostly on Luna Street) drinking 25 cent beer and cuba libre’s. Wonderful times!
How about we tell russia we are installing Tactical missile systems with nukes all across europe. Just to balance Cuba for the sake of world peace ya know.
Compare the reaction of our Apologizer in Chief

This ‘Mary’ will invite them for a beer summit and they will all walk - well ‘Mary’ will skip - away blaming Bush.
Of course he can invite Boner so ‘Mary’ will apologize and Boner can cry on cue to show those baddies we are serious and may even consider ‘scratching their eyes out’.
Notice this is the 50 year anniversary so this may have some bearing on the ‘news’.

Funny, of all the ‘real time’ events of my time in (56-64) the only one that stands out is JFK - guess didn’t really pay attention to many of them because that was ‘our job’?
Did you realize that people who got the AFEM for that era (`62) are eligible for VFW?
I thought the Chinese had taken over Lourdes?
