The Russian had transported nukes into Cuba. Kennedy gave them a deadline
and we waited. (under our school desks).
The experts told us that London, Birmingham and Glasgow were the prime targets.
Of course this upset the people in Manchester, Liverpool and Cardiff.
Don't forget
why the Russians put nukes on Cuba. The USA moved first, but that wasn't just as underhand and durty as the Russian behaviour, oh no, honest, swear on the Declaration of Independence!
And then wonder why that same USA is so eager to have that same Turkey made a member of the European Union... I smell a rat, and a smelly one.
Of course, in recent years it has come out that the experts in the USSR didn't have prime targets for a nuclear attack at all... they were only in the game because they thought the USA was. Their main intended strategy was land wars in neighbouring countries, as far as anyone can still tell. (And look at how much good
that did them...) But not an all-out nuclear attack... apparently the Russians
did love their children, too.
