Mine the areas surrounding the islands(intermittent). Declare it a ‘no sail zone’. Announce the mines will be activated within 48 hours like they did in Hanoi. This gives the Chicoms an out. They’ll turn away like Kruzchev did in Cuba.
And if there is the will, the ships in a block aid will be smoldering ruins in 24 hours.
**** They’ll turn away like Kruzchev did in Cuba. ****
Here’s what really happened and in this order:
1) US put missiles into Turkey.
2) USSR put missiles into Cuba.
3) USSR withdrew missiles from Cuba.
4) US withdrew missiles from Turkey.
The MSM only tells you about events 2 and 3 in what is known as the “Cuban Missile Crises” where JFK “stared down” Khrushchev. In truth, the USSR agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba IF the US would remove missiles from Turkey. Kennedy agreed.
