13 Days - United Nations Security Council

As part of the American strategy to rally the international community behind their actions against Cuba, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Stevenson, goes to the Security Council meeting to make the case for the U.S. embargo on Cuba and to prove the existance of ballistic missiles threatening a great part of the country.

Ambassador Stevenson delivers one of the best speeches the UN has ever heard and pratically destroys the soviet ambassador's strategy of denial.

Here, we see a reenactment of that meeting in the movie "13 Days".

Why did't Kennedy stick it to the Russian ambassador in the White House , possibly making all this very dangerous drama unnecessary? GOOD QUESTION, MR. ZORIN.

[MajorStrasser]

@ZenPapageno That would not prevent the Soviets from placing IRBMs on other sites in Cuba in the future. Besides, I guess Kennedy didn't want to show his hand at that time.

"Don't wait for the translation."

Is this where the makers of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country got the line from?

[MajorStrasser]

@mzhivago925 Yes, I remember reading that somewhere.

Hi people !

Im from Chile :D and i suprissed about the 4:49 !

Where can i found more information about who was the Chilean guy on this reunion ?

He gave his "talkTime" to U.S. for showing proves !

Its an important move saving the world from Nuclear WW3  :D !

[MajorStrasser]

@stoplookhear On the UN records, he is identified as "Mr. Schweitzer". I think you'll have to look up further details.

[MajorStrasser]

The dialog is faithful to verbatim copies of the UNSC's debates. Zorin could never have pwnd Stevenson, he had the pictures in the room. He was, however, a formidable opponent to face in a debate.

5 people were from Sovjet Union

Damn right, Adlai! You tell him!

[Tigerman1138]

I love this scene! I loved how JFK was watching the UN on tv and he said, (something like)"What is that thing that Sun Tzu says? `Long before battles are won on the field they're won in the temple.'? This is where we turn it all around! You tell Adlai to go in there and STICK IT TO THAT SON OF A BITCH!"
