Not many people remember that Weasley Clark almost started World War III with Russia TWICE.
The airport incident is pretty well known. If not for the British commander refusing Clark’s order, there might have been a shooting war.
But Clark also ordered planes to bomb and sink two Russian spy ships that were eavesdropping on our operations from the Adriatic. Only a last minute countermand of his order from Washington prevented a disaster from happening.
And let’s not forget the bombing of the Chinese Embassy, which many think was deliberate.
It amazes me how oblivious the American public was about this at the time. That could have escalated into a nuclear exchange very quickly.
