What was interesting was the snippet about the 'Cuban Missile Crisis' which was 'blown-up' into 'evil Russia threatening the US of A'. It turned out to be nothing more than Kruschev objecting to American missiles on the Turkish border pointing at Russia. So he applied 'Tit-for-Tat' in Cuba. It worked. America removed their Turkish missiles.
That is all it was. I mean which person in their right mind would ever press "The Button". We cant move to World mk2.
America is such a disaster.Just greed and more greed.
Someone did though didn’t they, right mind or not, in 1945.

You could not talk about those. That was the "good" guy.
Trump is still in that mind set and his friends must need the money.
