Just ignore back in September we literally had the Trump Administration threatening preemptive nuclear strikes if the Russians deployed their new missile system.

Sounds like a stupid reason to end human civilization tbh. Imagine if Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan all threatened to nuke the Soviet’s everytime they deployed a new missile system. We’d be dead a couple dozen times over.

I'm just getting annoyed with the way people view foreign policy. Wanna talk about actually helping the Russians? Look up by who and when the GAZ factory in the USSR was built.

I’m talking about a new missile system in general, like fresh out of dev and off the factory line, pretty sure the missiles in Cuba were existing missile system.

They both cut taxes, were/are wealthy, and were adulterers, so that's a start.

...except they all did, directly or implicitly. A major reason for the tension of the 1980s was that, beyond the overall military buildup, both sides were deploying new short range missiles that threatened to tip the balance. With an ICBM, you've got about 30 minutes from launch to impact to respond. With short range, at least back then, you had 5 to 15 minutes, which meant NATO or the East Bloc had the opportunity, if they could get the drop, to deal significant damage to the other. Such threatened MAD, and these new Russian missiles threaten the same in many respects, which is why D.C. is going so hard about them.

They put nukes in Cuba
I think what happened here was the Russians claimed to have missles that could go past all out defense systems
