when will you make a video on the war of the kippour

I can't believe they actually had that conversation. It sounds like something a Bush caricature would say, not a real president.

Extra Credits Notifications anyone??

Everyone knows... Walpole was behind it while Bismark had a plan to counterfeit it... but that's a "secret"

Thanks for another great Video!

How dare they reciprocate!

It's only a betrayal because Khrushchev told Kennedy that he wouldn't send any missiles to Cuba (or at least that's what's said in the video starting at 4:14).

The US put missiles in turkey to protect turkey since the USSR was a lot closer to turkey and thus can use its intermediate missiles there.

@@teddyn240 Then the USSR put missiles in Cuba to protect Cuba since the US is a lot closer to Cuba thus can use its intermediate missiles there.

@@teddyn240 same logic could be applied to USSR and Cuba, even more legitimate because US was actually trying to invade Cuba months before when USSR did not do the same to Turkey

Bada Bada Uh have you heard of all of those pro soviet communist uprisings post WW2 and the Soviet aggressive actions during that time.

The sheer destructive power of both the human mind, and nuclear weapons makes it a miracle that we're all still alive. I mean, imagine the absolute mess that was the lead into WWI, but with nuclear weapons. Europe would be a irradiated wasteland today.

It's not 2000 anymore, time does fly.

I think that might be why there has been no large scale global conflict since the development of Nuclear weapons. Proxy fights, skirmishes and small factional fights, but that's been about it.. Why? Because There are enough people with braincells on all sides that know, winning a nuclear war still meansan irradiated nightmare.

Nope

One of the few times in history the world leaders had a brain.

Sounds familiar...

@@clayxros576 Well Kruschev is debatable, but in all honesty he did seem kinda anti war compared to other stalinist leaders. I dont really know though, but if I am right, that is respectable then

Day R Stalin was pretty anti war though. The whole abandonment from world revolution to socialism in one country. You hear people always saying “what if Trotsky has ruled” when Trotsky was the one who advocated permanent revolution, which would have been much more violent. The Soviets didn’t send troops in direct intervention (only weapons and supplies) even though the West did that during multiple revolutions. Finally, Stalin even disbanded the Third Internationale.

@@JH-hb5cc Very Anti War. So much so that he blockaded Berlin so as to stop the west from supplying the civilians, as well as war with the west inevitable.

Did your grandfather tell you anything else? Also, can you clarify what he meant by not noticing "the difference afterwards"?

😂

😂

I'd be more shocked Russia survived, we had the power to destroy them at the time. Of course, that changed a couple decades later, and went back again. That happened a lot during the cold war.

When I say WE, I mean humanity as a whole. Forget the US-Russia thing, either of them could have destroyed the world twice over with this. :s

@Taiwanlight not particularly

@Taiwanlight Recent calculations by idiots. One volcano makes 100 nuclear bombs look like a gnat farting in the wind.

I feel the same way. Proof that there are "higher powers" out there protecting mankind . . . .

Medovukha Welcome to the world of fighting based on differing ideals and perspectives. Humanity loves to point the finger at the other side for it's atrocities, and completely forgets the ones committed by it's own. This goes for both sides on most conflicts through out history. Gotta love mass media's part on this.

Medovukha Just to let you know, the Us also committed crimes

Medovukha Oh, let's take a look at your land. All these natives, I wonder what happened to them...

Imperios yeah but they weren’t part of the “United States” it was a conquest, I do think that they shouldn’t have been wiped out but they weren’t US citizens unlike all the soviet ones wiped out in the great purges. They fought back those Russians couldn’t.

@XZDrake thanks for the reminder MacArthur.

The US never promised the USSR not to put missiles in Turkey.

@soylentgreenb no but if your someone pulls a gun on you and says were not going to shoot at you we want this just in case, than makes you agree to effectively disarm are you the bad guy for trying to arm yourself? its not a perfect analogy but the soviates went a force of pure evil as they are often portrayed in the telling of the story of the cabin missile crisis.

MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons on China. He was a nutjob. Having one decent tactical plan over his career doesn't negate that.

At least somewhat accurate so you actually completely destroy what you want to destroy. At this time nukes weren’t nearly as powerful as they are now so even though they had the capability to flatten cities, they only have so much range to where if they were off by a hundred miles or so they wouldn’t have as bad of an effect on the actual target.

Well, that's not a very polite way to describe The Bay of Pigs.

No non-Russians say it that way. The video is in English, not Russian. www.dictionary.com/browse/khrushchev

I'm Russian too, but honestly I don't care. Language has already adopted Khrushchev as the universal spelling and pronunciation. Not much we can do.

We russains have similar looking letters to english, but they sound different. For example, H/N. What can we do?

Pujan Shah Most small details are made up, because we can’t really know everything.

educating LIES

Полиграфович Where do I get the accurate information?

where is the truth? come on, give me it?

The Cuban missile crisis isn’t a small detail.

Just like defending Cuba would be paramount to containing the US in case of war.

No they just backed violent revolutions all over the world to destabilize those nations. There's no point in arguing for a "good guy" in the cold war, both nations were dicks.

1: claiming the nukes in Cuba is a false equivalence to nukes in Turkey is naive. The US had them so they could nuke the USSR the USSR put them in Cube for the same reason, no false equivalence whatsoever. 2: the regimes put in control by the US were horrific and last to this very day (Afghanistan, Iran come to mind). The US had a hands off approach so they could claim they weren't responsible it is in every way as equivalent as the USSR. 3: I believe the USSR was awful to it's own citizens in a way the US has never been and would agree with what you're saying there. But claiming that what the US did during the cold war was in some way for good is nonsense. 4: this goes nowhere because it just comes to adding 40 years of two superpowers shitting on smaller nations and claiming one is somehow worse than the other.

Holy shit, @Fredrik Dunge you don't know what you are talking about at all. First of all the communist regimes weren't closely tied together like NATO. The Warsaw pact was only between the USSR and their puppets. Meaning you can't blame Moscow communists for something that happened in Vietnam. The communists movements around the world did plenty of genocides but it is propaganda that they were alone in this. The US supported plenty of genocidal regimes (Iraq, Talibans, Pinochet etc). The communists who did awful things acted on their own in their own country, however the US supported regimes as an imperialistic foreign policy and made coup attempts against democratic nations. Also NATO isn't a defensive organization, it's mainly used to surround then USSR, now Russia with nuclear weapons and military personnel. The only reason the talibans were put in power was because during the soviet invasion to help Afghanistan's communists retain power, the US funded training and weapons for the taliban. Without the US support we wouldn't even have the same problems there that we do today.... Here's the problem with lesser evil thinking. It forces you to take a side in a awful situation. It's stupid and shouldn't be used. The US did enough terrible things during the cold war to be considered "evil". The Soviets too. But you aren't obligated to pick one of them at all. There were plenty of neutral nations during the cold war, innocent nations who wanted to preserve peace and maintain prosperity. Choose their side instead.

The US interfered with south american politics setting various military dictators around south america in fear their governments would be approached by the USSR. In most of these dictatorships, millions of citizens died or straight out disappeared leaving no trace. In addition, they implemented their media as a way of cultural domination. There are no good guys in war, not even in the cold war.

Is it really critical? It happens so much before and it really appears like side info here.

Are you stupid? What do you think would have happened had the US granted that aid? Do you think he would have turned to the USSR?

Ah yes, American's old policy of, "Of course we won't help you, we need an enemy that we can rally against ten years from now." They also did the exact same thing to Ho Chi Minh around that same period.

Eric Taylor he isn't stupid because he is right. This isn't really critical information. It's not even a part of this story. Funny and ironic? Yes. But in terms of the Cuban missile crisis in general, it's not important. If we were talking about the Soviet allience with Cuba however, then it would be quite a bit more important.

Bob Miller I don't think the American politicians really expected Cuba to go the way it went. As for Ho Chi Min, you are absolutely right. They did the exact same thing in Vietnam. But it wasn't to create an enemy. It was done out of ignorance or stupidity. In the case of Ho Chi Min, he wanted to rid himself of the French Colonials, but the French were a strong US ally. Politics is very complicated, and most of the political policy makers are stupid and short sighted. This is not just an American problem, it is a problem everywhere and throughout history. For some reason government leaders tend to be mostly idiots.
