Do you not recall the Cuban missile crisis?


I do. Kruchev didn't like having our missiles in Turkey, etc., so he put
some of his own in Cuba. Finding them JFK blustered then caved in and pulled
our missiles back. Having gained his objectives, Kruchev took his home too.
JFK threw another bash for the US press and declared a victory ... and
that's how kids who weren't there remember it.
