what they really fear is Trump having a "Cuban Missile Crisis" moment where he pulls off the biggest diplomatic victory since WWII


Funny thing about the Cuban Missile Crisis is it was a complete blunder by JFK.
The US installed Nuclear missiles in Turkey in April 1962. The Missiles placed in Cuba were a reaction to the ones we placed in Turkey

Many of the missiles were never even removed, Only the medium and intermediate missiles were removed. There were over 100 tactical nuclear warheads that remained after the crisis abated. Kennedy as per usual got punked.
He also acquiesced to secretly remove our missiles from turkey

Correct. The Cuban Missile Crisis was actually a pretty stinging defeat for JFK.

he also was pushing for invasion much more than is portrayed. Bobby did a hell of a job making the CMC turd look like a diamond after the fact.
