Also discussed in this article is the #CubanMissileCrisis naval #blockade and how escalation over this is probably the closest the world came to the #ColdWar becoming a #nuclearwar.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1962, the #CubanMissileCrisis began. The US provoked the #USSR with an aggressive nuclear posture, later backing down and removing our missiles, but to this day US #propaganda has people believing the #Soviets the aggressor. The #ColdWar legacy is a curse.

☢️ What if the most dangerous weapon in the Cuban Missile Crisis wasn't in Cuba—but hidden beneath American warships?

⚓ The Americans believed they were telling B-59 to surface. The Soviets had to decide whether the explosions meant war had already started.

That's where this gets terrifying: https://youtu.be/qGuuT0bzhlY

☢️ One submarine. One nuclear torpedo. Two sides interpreting the same explosions completely differently.

This Cold War encounter came terrifyingly close to catastrophe: https://youtu.be/qGuuT0bzhlY

☢️ The U.S. Navy thought it was sending a warning. Inside Soviet submarine B-59, it could have sounded like World War III had begun.

What would YOU have believed? https://youtu.be/qGuuT0bzhlY

He also, following #CubanMissileCrisis did not want israel to have nukes, knowing it would bring imbalance to the region.
Robert was of like mind, so #Mossad assassinated both

Never forget israels #SamsonOption
