Kulikua na kitisho cha nuclear war..
Ila bado diplomasia ilitumika na Cuba haikuvamiwa.
Hayo mataifa yanayopakana na Urusi na China ndio hutafuta ushirikiano wa kiulinzi na US kwa manufaa yao ya kiusalama na sio kinyume chake.
Utajuaje hayo?Unajua yanayoongewa chini ya Kapeti?
US Kwa miaka 6 amekuwa akijaribu kuishawishi Philippines Ili iweke base ya kijeshi huko lakini Rais aliyepita aliwasikiliza wananchi ambao walikuwa hawataki tension yoyote kati ya Philippines na China na badala yake wawe na ujirani mwema!
Rais huyu aliyeingia,amepuuza ya mtangulizi wake na ndani ya muda mfupi,a deal is made na tutaona US troops zikitua nanga Philippines!
US ni taifa chochezi,litafanya chochote kuendelea kuwa namba Moja duniani!
Mpaka wamarekani wenyewe walishaanza kutabiri vita kati ya china na US by 2025!
Kwa wengine ambao hawakupata kusoma Cuban missile crisis wapitie hapa ndio wajue unafiki wa US!
In 1961 the US Government put
Jupiter nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey, and attempted to
invade Cuba. Starting in November of that year the US Government engaged in a campaign of
terrorism and
sabotage in Cuba, referred to as the
Cuban Project, which continued throughout the first half of the 1960s. The Soviet administration was concerned about a Cuban drift towards
China, with which the Soviets had an
increasingly fractious relationship. In response to these factors,
Soviet First Secretary,
Nikita Khrushchev, agreed with the
Cuban Prime Minister,
Fidel Castro, to place nuclear missiles on the island of Cuba to deter a future invasion. An agreement was reached during a secret meeting between Khrushchev and Castro in July 1962, and construction of a number of
missile launch facilities started later that summer.
Meanwhile, campaigning for the
1962 United States elections was underway, and the White House denied charges for months that it was ignoring dangerous Soviet missiles 90 mi (140 km) from Florida. The missile preparations were confirmed when a US Air Force
U-2 spy plane produced clear photographic evidence of
medium-range R-12 (NATO code name SS-4) and
intermediate-range R-14 (NATO code name SS-5) ballistic missile facilities.
When this was reported to
President John F. Kennedy, he then convened a meeting of the nine members of the
National Security Council and five other key advisers, in a group that became known as the
Executive Committee of the National Security Council (EXCOMM). During this meeting, President Kennedy was originally advised to carry out an
air strike on Cuban soil in order to compromise Soviet missile supplies, followed by an invasion of the Cuban mainland. After careful consideration, President Kennedy chose a less aggressive course of action, in order to avoid a
declaration of war. After consultation with
EXCOMM, Kennedy ordered a naval "quarantine" on October 22 to prevent further missiles from reaching Cuba.
[4] By using the term "quarantine", rather than "
blockade" (an act of war by legal definition), the United States was able to avoid the implications of a state of war.
[5] The US announced it would not permit
offensive weapons to be delivered to Cuba and demanded that the weapons already in Cuba be dismantled and returned to the Soviet Union.
After several days of tense negotiations, an agreement was reached between Kennedy and Khrushchev: publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to
United Nations verification, in exchange for a US public declaration and agreement to not invade Cuba again. Secretly, the United States agreed with the Soviets that it would dismantle all of the
Jupiter MRBMs which had been deployed to Turkey against the Soviet Union. There has been debate on whether or not Italy was included in the agreement as well. While the Soviets dismantled their missiles, some Soviet
bombers remained in Cuba, and the United States kept the naval quarantine in place until November 20, 1962.
[5]
When all offensive missiles and the
Ilyushin Il-28 light bombers had been withdrawn from Cuba, the blockade was formally ended on November 20. The negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union pointed out the necessity of a quick, clear, and direct communication line between the two superpowers. As a result, the
Moscow–Washington hotline was established. A series of agreements later reduced US–Soviet tensions for several years, until both parties eventually resumed expanding their nuclear arsenals.
