I noticed on another video of this where a balding person seated on the far right side of the straight table moved away and another took his place. Then suddenly he was back, moved away and was again replaced. Film editing in action. Look at that same area and you will see that this also was edited.

You believe the USSR won the crisis because it achieved a strategic goal. In reality the military gain was almost irrelevant. You're correct that it was a strategic maneuver, but they had a political goal. It was an attempt by the USSR to sway global perception in their favor. The USSR might have gained militarily, but this event made them look like an aggressor and their image took a serious hit. This exchange on the UN floor did immense damage to the USSR's credibility.

Can't people learn about history without getting angry about it? People need to learn from the past not live in it, what's done is done all people need to do is learn from it and make sure to never repeat similar incidents ever again.

@murad17bgfc That would be very difficult, especially for a young person. The power of AES in this crisis was first that he had the facts on his side, and secondly, his long and internationally recognized reputation as a proponent of disarmament and peace. He had been involved in setting up the UN in 1945 so when he took the unequivocal position that the missiles must go, both the Amer. public and the world understood that he spoke for more than just the US govt.

@HeavyArms0404 Let's not talk about credibility in world politics regarding the US and the USSR during the Cold War. The US was lacking that credibility ever since 'Operation PBSUCCESS', which was criticized even by its allies.
What you say about the ICBMs is true, but remember it went both ways. Not to forget they both 'discovered' ballistic subs. But in a way, the fact that they could both nuke each other arses off, brought some stability to the Cold War.

Thank you very much for posting this. It's very appropriate for today. Due to the fact it was about 47 years ago this week that it took place.
