Lost an opportunity to describe the true cause of the "Cuban missile crisis" -- that we had initially started it by placing nuclear-capable missiles in Turkey, pointed at the USSR. Their threat to place missiles in Cuba was a response to our provocation (sound familiar?).

Fast forward to today -- no Russian missiles in Cuba, but guess who again has nuclear-capable missiles based in Turkey, pointing at Russia...?

Anyone who thinks they can survive a limited nuclear exchange is either a fool or totally nuts. There is no such thing. Once the nukes are launched you have 72 minutes to get your affairs in order. Pax
