Utterly insane.
...”Utterly insane”...
Just listened to video today on what ‘we’ didn’t know of the Cuban Missile crisis ... and un-knows at the time....Kennedy did not know the Soviets had Nuclear tipped Missiles, nor that Krushev had given his Commander the authority to fire them if the US began an invasion...without his authority.
It was more frightening then so many realize in just how close we came to nuclear war....by minutes, not hours. And how difficult communications, or lack of, were at that time.
In the end both men mentioned the word “Insane”...I’ll quote here....
“Insane that two men sitting on opposite sides of the world could bring an end to civilization”...”Insane not to have been afraid”.
