I thought hollywood dramatized the conversation in the movie thirteen days but it's the same word for word. amazing exchange

[@PointReflex]

The director of the movie filmed the UN scene while playing the real conference in an adyacent monitor so he could have the closest match to historical accuracy in both the scenary, the body expresions and the dialoge. Also a lot, and I mean A LOT of the dialogs and recreated scenes in the film are verbatim copys of the real events, even in some of them the film changes into monochrome when they are recreating real vintage filming and pictures taken during that period of time. Of course it also has its share of brutal inaccuracies though.

[@pjabrony8280]

"Don't wait for the translation" is one of the most brilliant pieces of rhetoric. He saw that Zorin was stalling and called him out on it, both in a way that didn't accuse him outright, and which was understood by everyone. Even if Zorin didn't understand English, everyone knew what the issue was, and if the parties were reversed and a Soviet ambassador used the words "da" and "nyet" at the end of a sentence, the American would know what was meant. But saying it that way carried the subtext of, "You're stalling because you don't have an answer, and if I had to make that point any more elaborately, you'd just gain more time."

[@peterdavidson6654]

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yes... terrific film, but there was ONE GLARING ERROR in the film... the Frog 7 battlefield nukes the USSR had also sent to Cuba WERE NOT KNOWN to the US at the time... it wasn't until after the fall of the USSR in the early 90's that it became known that the Soviets had in fact sent battlefield nuclear missiles to Cuba, in addition to their MRBM's and IRBM's designed to hit the US mainland. I saw an interview with McNamara where he said that basically IF the US had decided to go with the air strikes and then invade Cuba to get rid of the missiles, there WOULD have been a nuclear war. The US was also unaware that due to the limitations of Soviet command and control of their nuclear arsenal at the time, the local commanders in the field had been given authority to use their nuclear weapons on their own authority if they believed they were at war and couldn't get permission from Moscow to use the weapons, particularly if it came down to a "use it or lose it" proposition, ie incoming air attack on the missile sites, submarines, or invasion. That's why the submarine that was being "held under" by patrolling US destroyers, who were dropping depth grenades to ping the hull without damaging it, to "convince" them to surface and heave to for inspection, *ALMOST* fired their nuclear torpedo at the US ships preventing them from surfacing-- they were running out of air and it was well over 100 degrees inside the Soviet sub, which was designed to operate in cold polar waters not in the hot Caribbean waters near Cuba, and both the political officer and first officer had voted to use their nuclear torpedo, interpreting the grenade bangs against the hull as hostile intent, along with the US destroyers patrolling too closely to allow them to surface. Only the captain, who's name I can't recall but IIRC he was the same guy on K-19 who prevented the meltdown and saved the ship, (Played by Liam Neeson in the movie) voted against the use of the nuclear torpedo, interpreting the bang grenades as just saying, "we know you're there, we COULD attack you with depth bombs, surface for inspection" and that the US ships had orders to dog them in the quarantine area, and they had to move away from it to surface for air. Had he consented to his political officer and first officer's demand to launch the nuclear torpedo, he could have decimated the US Navy patrol ships on the quarantine line hounding him, but it WOULD have caused a nuclear war. Had the US chosen to invade Cuba, the battlefield nuke armed Frog missiles would have vaporized and obliterated the US invasion troops on the beach, and would certainly have provoked a nuclear war. The US would have been taken TOTALLY by surprise, because they DIDN'T know the Frogs were even in Cuba-- they hadn't been captured on any of the surveillance photos from the U-2's or other overflights. They could have easily stumbled into that decision since they didn't know and by invading triggered off a nuclear war. Later! OL J R :)

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@chetpomeroy1399 That, and longer range, newer Thor IRBM's based in Britain. The Jupiters were first generation medium range ballistic missiles (shorter range than intermediate range ballistic missiles like Thor) and after the Soviets demonstrated their ability to hit the US with an ICBM, via the launch of Sputnik which was launched into orbit by their R-7 "Semyorka" ICBM, the US was in a tizzy because they were late to the party in realizing the importance of ICBM's and starting their own ICBM development program. As a stopgap measure, the medium range Jupiters were moved within range of the Soviet Union which meant basing them in Italy and Turkey. The Jupiters were rather primitive early missiles, fueled with liquid kerosene and liquid oxygen, so they required a lengthy fueling process before launch and were highly vulnerable based on surface launch pads, and could only remain on alert ready for launch in times of tension for a relatively short period, as the cryogenic liquid oxygen constantly boiled off inside the rocket's propellant tanks and had to be replenished constantly, until the finite supply available was used up. The Jupiters weren't very dependable or reliable either, as they had a lot of problems-- NASA tried to use some of them with a solid propellant upper stage assembly similar to the early "Jupiter-C" launch vehicles which used a Redstone short range ballistic missile as a first stage, with the same solid upper stage assembly. "Jupiter-C" launched the first US satellite into orbit, Explorer 1, in early 1958. The Juno launch vehicle using the Jupiter missile for a first stage had the most troubled history of any US launch vehicle and was quickly scrapped. By 1962 the Jupiters were obsolete-- the US had hundreds of Atlas and Titan I ICBM's ready and capable of striking the Soviet Union from the US mainland, and had more advanced Thors going into Britain, based further from the Soviet Union and thus more secure and less vulnerable to being taken out in a Soviet attack before they could be launched. The US also had its solid propellant submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM's) on patrol ready to attack the USSR if required, along with the formidable capabilities of the SAC bombers and their thousands of nuclear bombs. The USSR was highly vulnerable at the time-- their Semyorka's also used kerosene/LOX fuel and had the same drawbacks as Jupiter, and were too large for silos or more protected launchers, so were on highly vulnerable surface pads. The USSR had done a crash program to develop new ICBM's like the R-9 and R-11 which would use room temperature storable hypergolic liquid propellants, which despite being HIGHLY toxic and corrosive, could remain in the missile fuel tanks for months at a time so the missile was ready to fire at a moment's notice, and small enough to be stored in and launched from underground silos. This rush to complete the missiled had directly led in 1960 to the "Nedelin disaster" where several hundred missile designers, scientists, engineers, and technicians, along with the new head of the new Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces, a new branch of service overseeing all Soviet nuclear missiles, General Nedelin, and most of his entourage of staff and aides, were incinerated when a fully fueled R-9 missile having trouble on the pad was ordered to be repaired by Nedelin to keep to the schedule, so instead of pumping the fuel out of it and then working on it per safety procedures, he ordered it worked on fully fueled, and it exploded, killing most everyone by incinerating them, including himself and his entourage who went to the pad to oversee the work was done. At the time, these new missiles were not available in any substantial numbers-- the Soviets only had about maybe a dozen ICBM's capable of hitting the US from Soviet territory-- they had thousands of MRBM's and IRBM's, but only a small handful of ICBM's. If they could sneak in MRBM's and IRBM's only 90 miles off the US coast into Cuba, it would give them the ability to launch dozens of warheads into the US mainland on short notice, just as Jupiter had for the US if launched from Turkey in the late 50's before Atlas and Titan 1 was available. The problem was, they got caught. The US couldn't allow the Soviet missiles in Cuba, because the flight times to the US were SO short-- only a matter of minutes from launch to impact on target. This gave NO TIME for detection, verification an attack was actually under way and not just a glitch or "ghost on the radar" or whatever, and then communicate up the chain of command, the proper decisions made, and orders issued and transmitted to the silos and bases to launch the US ICBM's or bombers from their bases before the Soviet Cuban missiles arrived and detonated and destroyed them. Basically it reduced the US response time to a "launch on warning" system which was FAR more dangerous because any MISTAKE could lead to a missile launch by the US in a "use it or lose it" type situation... Yes the Soviets had been in a similar situation due to Jupiters in Turkey and Italy, BUT th US had ALSO pledged "no first use" for what it was worth... whereas the Soviets had not. The whole premise of relatively short range missiles being based just outside the borders of the enemy country was extremely destabilizing because of this, and the reduced response time it created due to short flight times of the missiles based so close... SO that's why the Jupiters were being removed, and why the US couldn't allow the Soviets to put shorter range missiles in Cuba aimed at the US. Later! OL J R :)
