Where is our #Vasili Arkhipov?
During #CubanMissileCrisis 1962 he #disobeyed #orders to launch #nuclear #weapon from his (Russian) submarine. Turned out the captain was wrong-they were not under nuclear attack.

In order to remove the missiles, Khrushchev extracted concessions from JFK. Which was what he wanted in the first place: no more Bay of Pigs.

Last time things were so tense I was a kid: #CubanMissileCrisis. It was close. Everybody holding their breath. But we had an intelligent president, so there was that.

Trump's threats to attack Cuba bring back terrifying memories of crouching under my school desk during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and potential nuclear war. Embarrassed by the outcome, it's possible Russia and China still have revenge on their agendas. #cubanmissilecrisis #coldwar #nuclearwar

AOC likens Gaza to Cuban Missile Crisis, calling it 'new era of depravity.' But one was nuclear brinksmanship, the other a decades-long occupation. The selective use of history serves specific political ends. Learn why. #Gaza #CubanMissileCrisis

The Gulf today increasingly resembles the Caribbean of 1962: brinkmanship without certainty, deterrence without trust.

Thx #Trump As if we need or want a repeat of the 1960s #CubanMissileCrisis 🚀 Make no mistake. There’s a madman at the helm & the stakes are higher than ever‼️
A US military invasion of #Greenland will be seen by #Putin as NO DIFFERENT to #Russia setting up missiles in #Cuba in the 60s, which started the #Cubanmissilecrisis
#Putin isn't going to stand by idly & let it happen without "terrifying consequences" for the US.
@nytimes.com @dianedee.bsky.social
If #Trump doesn't "shut the f*** up" very soon he is going to rile #Putin up to the point of "military confrontation" between the US and #Russia.
Putin and #Maduro are good buddies. If Trump threatens a ground war against #Venezuela the outcome will umpteen times worse than the #Cubanmissilecrisis

"A History of an Assignment" reveals the intimate inner workings of the negotiation immediately following the #CubanMissileCrisis.
As the #US and #Russia navigate rising nuclear tensions, the film underscores how geopolitical pride can still shape the fragile balance of nuclear diplomacy.
not just conventional defeat. Unlike prior wars, this enemy wasn't just another ship. It was an unseen Soviet sub potentially carrying a nuclear-armed torpedo, a reality they didn't fully know at the time. The fear & tension was palpable. DEFCON 2.

We were not reassured by the official government advice!

We were already traumatised by #CubanMissileCrisis

💥 #OTD in #History 28 October 1962, after 13 feverish days, the #CubanMissileCrisis comes to an end, with Premier Nikita #Khrushchev ordering the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba, appeasing US President John F. #Kennedy.
The crisis serves as a lesson in the importance of negotiation and diplomacy even when conflict seems inevitable.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1962, Soviet naval officer #VasiliArkhipov likely prevented a #NuclearWar by vetoing launch of a nuclear torpedo during the #CubanMissileCrisis. Three men had to agree to fire and only #Arkhipov opposed it. Doing so prevented full-scale nuclear exchange.
A memo issued by OEP director Edward McDermott on this day in 1962... "Stress conditions" at Mount Weather (aka Classified Facility). If you want a gun... Sports clothes are fine... Probably my favorite #CubanMissileCrisis document of all time. I found it at the National Archives years ago.

Rudolf Anderson would be the only casualty of the Cuban missile crisis.
