The cold war burns hot in 1962 when the USSR places nuclear warheads in Cuba. Soon, the first US troops arrive in Vietnam staying more than a decade. In the Prague Spring of 1968, a movement towards 'communism with a human face' is doomed. It was a giant leap for mankind when man walks on the moon in 1969. In 1972, Richard Nixon becomes the first US president to visit communist China.

Saw this in my Word History class and half of my classmates fell asleep to this while I was literally wide awake to see this. I can’t believe that the people in my generation don’t wanna learn and watch this, this is actually really interesting. The Cold War is absolutely insane! I always thought that the moon landing was just about the first people to land on a rock but the moon landing was all about the Cold War and America getting there before the Soviet Union. History is now my favorite subject. I thank my history teacher for this.👍

Damn. By a vote of 2 to 1 in FAVOR of launching a nuke. That’s crazy. That 1 captain literally saved all of mankind. Losing communication with your home country when you have nuclear weapons on board and having to make decisions on wether or not to use them on your own knowing that the entire future of humanity is at stake and having to make that decision on behalf of a world superpower is an awesome responsibility I hope I never personally have

If he was wrong, he was dead. That didn’t matter, he knew more was at stake than his life and that of his fellow crewmen, usually it’s always put your crew first, this captain knew if there was one time to throw that idea away, it would be at the threat of all out nuclear war.

Yeah, that guy talking about the incident got it wrong. He also said the sub couldn't radio home because the "depth charge" knocked out the sub's comm gear. What?! They couldn't communicate because they were deep underwater and couldn't put the mast up for fear of the destroyers capturing them. The Soviets didn't have ELF underwater capability back then.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

I‘m certain that 95% of the Missiles in Cuba would have surely been destroyed in the 1st Air Strike on Cuba. And after that many more Air Strikes would have followed. And the Warheads were‘nt mounted on the Missiles and stored in a separate bunker. And the SS-4 was a Missile with liquid fuel, meaning it had to be filled up before it can be launched. That would have given the Air Force enough time to carry out at least two Air Strikes on the Missile Sites. In Europe this Task was much more difficult. There were so many SS-4 Missile Sites in Belarus and Ukraine, that a First Strike with our Jupiter Missiles in Turkey and Italy would‘nt have destroyed all SS-4 Sites. Our only Chance was to exploit the soviet weakness of an extremly centralized command system. If the US would have carried out a MRBM First Strike against Moskow, they maybe would have had a Chance. It took the Jupiter Missiles 8-9 Minutes to reach Moskow.

Ironic that a nuclear war was avoided by a democratic vote by three Russians. It's also often glossed over that the USA put their missiles in Turkey, close to the USSR border in 1961. As a reaction the USSR put theirs in Cuba, then the Americans panicked. I've never read an explanation why the USA had nuclear missiles in Turkey and why they were not considered as potentially provocative by the west.

Vietnam syndrome is a term in U.S. politics that refers to public aversion to American overseas military involvements after the domestic controversy over the Vietnam War. Since th early 1980s, some possible effects of Vietnam syndrome include public opinion against war, ending the active use of military conscription, a reluctance to deploy ground troops, and "Vietnam paralysis".

Communism is a great idea in principle but like all political systems it is susceptible to corruption. Particularly so as the leadership is structured in a such a way that the leadership is difficult to challenge. Democracy shares the problem of susceptibility to corruption but more people have to be on board which makes it more difficult, but not impossible to achieve. I mean im pro democracy but if a populous wants communism who is anybody outside to tell them no. Its just important to be Cognizant of the danger
