@houssein456 Don't think that it was about the fact that the Russians could destroy the blockade (even if it would have tried, America had the stronger naval force) but that Krushchev was sounding out Kennedy and in the process thrying to gain a forward missile base. I think that he would never have gone as far as a full scale nuclear war if not directly provoked and btw this video is definately one off the less biased videos I've seen so far.

this is bias , clearly the Russians had the element of surprise and were able to keep the mission secret until they had at least one missile site ready. The naval blockade could of been devastating for the americans due to the presence of russian nuke armed submarines. Also, russians had short ranges nukes in cuba capable of decimating american armed forces if they landed on cuban lands

This is better than the documentary what I watched at the History Channel, witch was a biased and wrong interpretation of historical events.
But you should make another one without the music, it easier to concentrated on what you are saying with out that background music, its to loud.

either way this depicts the stupidity of mankind, as we risked annihilation just because of stupid petty differences. This was all a stupid chicken run with the lives of billions of people. This shows that we weren't ready for the nuclear bomb and still aren't. God help us that we can evolve before we destroy ourselves or discover a more dangerous weapon.

russia had the edge on the americans, good thing they weren't aware of the power of popular opinion. They had a good excuse with the bay of pigs, all they needed was to sell the idea to the public. By showing that kennedy stroke first, the blame could of easily be pointed to the usa for this conflict. With the threat of nuclear apocalypse the public will turn against the aggressors no matter who, lucky that russia kept this a secret and kennedy used it to make russia look like the aggressor
