in 1962 for two weeks in October, the world stood on the brink of destruction.
Kennedy and Khrushchev toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball...and as the popular AMERICAN saying goes, "
and Khrushchev blinked."
It was played out in real time on TV with leaders on the screen although back channels were used, and communiques exchanged, and some ignored.
Khrushchev wanted American missiles taken out of Turkey, a strategic U.S. partner at the time.
Putin wants his eyeball to eyeball moment, and knows he can't go toe to toe with Hillary, thus...
he wants to provoke Trump, because, Trump is a Hothead and easy to anger, even a dead American soldier can provoke him...to stupidity.
And even though I was only 12 and did NOT know Kennedy, I do know...
Trump is NO Kennedy. Goldwater? Perhaps.
Why else is Hillary being Russian hacked?
You got a better reason?
