Vladimir Putin's moves are becoming more and more like the crazy chess player's moves. Russia's warships are already in Havana, Putin himself went to Stalin's Korea and signed a bilateral military aid agreement with Kim Jong Un, and the war in Ukraine has already consumed over half a million human lives on both sides.
It's worth remembering that crisis. There was a cold war. John F. Kennedy said in Germany that he was Berlinese, which meant readiness for a frontal clash with the USSR. His counterpartner Nikita Khrushchev was just sending mid-range missiles to Cuba, and russian specialists were already building silos there. The decision was made on 1 of the Black Sea beaches. Marshal Malinowski said there to Khrushchev that they were resting, and Kennedy measured in their stomachs with rockets from bases in Turkey. Why wouldn't they answer the same question? Let russian rockets measurement from Cuba, Kennedy, erstwhile he is in Florida. Khrushchev liked the idea. 85 russian ships appeared in the Atlantic, which carried the "filled" to the silos.
