Since many years, the U.S. government and the Soviet Union have been at war in world affairs. While both nations have legitimate interests, the Soviet Union's military power is greater than needed to protect those interests. To achieve a peaceful relationship between the United States, Soviet Union and China, the Soviet Union must give up the principle and conduct in line with its pledge.
Lessons learned from Cuban missile crisis
While the Cuban missile Crisis is one of most important in recent history, it has also been a great example of misinformation. A dominant narrative says that Kennedy won and Khrushchev was defeated, which is mostly false. This is based on a variety of sources, including Cuban, American, and Soviet, that have all been available for decades. Both sides suffered during the crisis due to misinformation and miscalculations, as well as misperception.
One of the most important lessons from the Cuban missile crisis is that the world cannot afford nuclear conflict. Although all of these lessons are valuable, the consequences for reckless decisions that could lead directly to self-destruction are far more devastating than any other. The threat posed today by weapons of mass destruction is real. Fortunately, 1962's key players acted with leadership and foresight to prevent an escalation into nuclear war.
