Just think.
He could have launched nukes. But, had us put candles in our windows on a cold December night instead, and wait them out until they collapsed from within based on their internal economic and social corruption.
I guess after all it was the right call.

Thag was a young, dumb 2nd Lieutenant in Germany in those days. Nov-Dec 1981 was a very scary time. Thag's Christmas leave (along with a lot of other peoples' leaves) almost got cancelled in mid-December because of rising tensions over Poland.

Imagine if Carter was reelected to a 2nd term. He'd have ordered a boycott of Russian vodkas or something.
That'll show 'em!

Only possible because they believed we would launch those nukes. For that we can thank RR and that SAC Captain and the Army 2LT FReepers posting here who were out at the sharp end of the stick during that time.
