Kennedy’s RADIO AND TELEVISION ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON THE SOVIET ARMS BUILD-UP IN CUBA, 22 OCTOBER 1962

Cuban Missile Crisis
https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/cuban-missile-crisis?li_source=LI&li_medium=m2m-rcw-history

>>The Soviets had long felt uneasy about the number of nuclear weapons that were targeted at them from sites in Western Europe and Turkey, and they saw the deployment of missiles in Cuba as a way to level the playing field.<<

>>the U.S. was prepared to use military force if necessary to neutralize this perceived threat to national security. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.<<

>>From the outset of the crisis, Kennedy and ExComm (The Executive Committee of the National Security Council)
determined that the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba was unacceptable. The challenge facing them was to orchestrate their removal without initiating a wider conflict–and possibly a nuclear war. In deliberations that stretched on for nearly a week, they came up with a variety of options, including a bombing attack on the missile sites and a full-scale invasion of Cuba. But Kennedy ultimately decided on a more measured approach. First, he would employ the U.S. Navy to establish a blockade, or quarantine, of the island to prevent the Soviets from delivering additional missiles and military equipment. Second, he would deliver an ultimatum that the existing missiles be removed.<<

My comment: ”He (Kennedy) would deliver an ultimatum that the existing missiles be removed” or what else? As I remember from 40-50 years ago, Kennedy played a loud game. In the history books today it’s though like it wasn’t that loud!

>>Both the Americans and Soviets were sobered by the Cuban Missile Crisis. The following year, a direct “hot line” communication link was installed between Washington and Moscow to help defuse similar situations, and the superpowers signed two treaties related to nuclear weapons. The Cold War was and the nuclear arms race was far from over, though. In fact, another legacy of the crisis was that it convinced the Soviets to increase their investment in an arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S. from Soviet territory.<<

My comment: Summa summarum, is that there seems to be a major imbalance between East and West today. Here, just a friendly question. Why is NATO hanging on the borders of Russia today?


Some proverbs on War. But unfortunately only in Swedish language. I don’t manage the translation.

Det säkraste sättet att undgå krig är att inte frukta det. John Randolph

Det första som dör i krig är sanningen.
Hiram Warren Johnson
Min kommentar: En tidningsrubrik i väst: ”Västmakterna är alltid hederliga.” De skulle aldrig luras att man placerade ut avskjutningsramper nära Rysslands gränser.

Enbart vapen är inte tillräckligt för att bevara freden, den måste bevaras av människor.
John F. Kennedy

Jag har rest över hela världen, och överallt har jag sett att militär och militarism är förödande för all kulturell verksamhet. Dr. Albert Schweitzer
Min kommentar: En eloge till kommunistvänstern som levt efter detta, då de erövrat delar i världen genom anständigt kultur-inflytande. — Men då det gäller politik och religion har tyvärr globalistvänstern inte levt upp till samma grad av anständighet. Här har man hoppat i galen tunna sedan 30-40 år. Globalistvänstern – en samling vänsterpartister och socialdemokrater, ateister och kristendomsfiender har samarbetat med islamister, muslimska brödraskapet och försökt infiltrera hela den kristna västvärlden med muslimer, vilket i slutändan riskerar att orsaka kaos och krig.

En krigsfånge är en man som försökt döda dig och misslyckats, som sedan ber dig att inte döda honom.
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Jag är beredd att dö, men det finns ingen sak jag är beredd att döda för.
Mahatma Gandhi
Min kommentar: Pascifistens röst.

Under kriget tiger lagarna.
Herbert George Wells

Varje regering har lika stor plikt att undvika krig som ett skepps kapten har att undvika en förlisning.
Guy de Maupassant

Den dag, då två stora arméer kan förstöra varandra på blott en sekund, kommer all militär att upphöra.
Alfred Nobel

Krig kan inte undvikas; det kan endast skjutas upp till fördel för fienden.
Niccolò Machiavelli

Vi för krig för att leva i fred.
Aristoteles

Varje land kommer i alla tider att ha en här. Om ett land inte har sin egen här, så har det ett annat lands här.
Konfucius

Min färska kommentar: NATOs framskjutna positioner i gamla Sovjetländer motverkar NATOs egna intressen som en försvars- och fredsskapande organisation. NATO har kommit att bli provokatörer som tänder luntan..

Kubakrisen löstes genom att bägge parter slöt ett avtal, man backade ur uppladdningen. Hur ska ett sådant tillbakadragande gå till idag? Och var slutar det om man inte inser misstagen?

Två vilddjur har satt tänderna i samma byte, vem släpper taget?

My recent comment: NATO’s prominent positions in old Soviet countries are counterproductive to NATO’s own interests as a defense and peacemaking organization. NATO has become provocateurs who light the fuse..

The Cuban crisis was resolved by both parties reaching an agreement, backing out of the build-up. How should such a withdrawal proceed today? And where does it end if you don’t realize the mistakes?

Two beasts have set their teeth in the same prey, who lets go?

My parents sent me to England, 5 weeks 1965, in the Summer, to participate in an English language-course, in the very neat town of Exmouth. Even though I had the best point in English from the gymnasium, I realise my English will never be perfect. This guy is 73 years of age this Summer 2023. He has been writing political, religious, and many other topics since 1980. He believed he had important things to tell. Because he is un-known to most people, it proves that the world is ruled by the same "sort of gang".
