The comment on White House coffee is extremely actually really accurate. Kennedy really hated White House coffee because it was even weaker than what he was issued in the Navy during WW2.
bruh a president couldn't order the guy making his coffee to make it more stronger?
Military coffee is supposed to melt mental spoons
His PT boat literally had a M4 Turret (75 mm gun)

The real hero of the Cuban missile crisis is Vasili Arkhipov
Yet not many people know about him and how he saved us!
@@thatcooldudeisawesome876 I agree thanks to him the world isn't a nuclear hellfire
Yes
Kuksdiek It’s Vasily Arkhipov or Василий Архипов
Dude! Yes! Vasili Arkhipov is one of my heroes but you NEVER hear anyone talk about him. Where did you hear about him?
I love how they portrayed Khrushchev as this big scary Russian, even though he was actually very short.
No
And how he was nice and not a dictator 😂
Also a WW2 hero ;)
He's not short, he's average height for the time

Can’t believe they made JFK from Clone High into a real guy
Ikr, that's epic
BROO that’s crazy how much clone high influenced the world
From highschooler to president really amazing
I know right
and Ghandi, but made him have a different personality
There’s actually a bit more to it than that. Kennedy was so unwilling to give in that he ordered an invasion of Cuba to remove the missiles by force, which made Khrushchev place nuclear submarines in Cuban waters in retaliation. The night before the invasion, two of the three officers required to allow their nuclear weapons to be fired, but one of the officers, thank God, held out, and on the day of the invasion, Kennedy finally gave in
The failed bay of pigs invasion
Actually 1 more quick thing that is a bit off in this episode is that Kennedy didn’t agree publicly to the exchange of the nukes in Cuba for the nukes in turkey so much to save his reputation, more because if he did, he would be giving up the safety of a nato member for the U.S’s safety completely ruining the point of nato
True plus if Kennedy wouldnt have placed those nukes on the turkish border pointing straight at Russia thus provoking Russia plus the failed invasion of Russia's commie buddy Cuba the crisis could have averted. Thank goodness the russian officer aboard the sub had sense enough and defied his commander in firing the missile.
One more thing to add. The reason two of the three officers wanted to launch their nuclear weapons, was because a US ship was dropping signalling depth charges on their sub. Basically weak weapons that did little harm, only to tell the ship to come to the surface. The two officers who voted to launch them thought they were under actual attack. They hadn't had contact with Moscow for months, so for all they knew, nuclear war was already happening. And if that's what you think, and you're under attack, the gut reaction is to take them down with you.
@spikedglue2803 Except Turkey was an instigator itself and was used as a weapon against the USSR in many horrific ways including being the generator to radical Islamic behavior that was randomly birthed in the 80s to fight Soviets.
You can try simplifying it as such, but at the end of the day. Turkey by no means is an innocent bystander and while other nations outright denied putting missiles in their land, Turkey was all too glad.

Remember like a day or so ago when trump threatened war crimes in Iran over Twitter
Its really really stupid like, America killed some high ranked general in Iran, Iran gets mad, say that America is scum of humanity or sumn, and America acting like a world police say that they are protecting the world from danger by literally killing a military leader. I have no idea how no one stopped trump and his god damned bullshit and honestly, i think the world will end with trump doing something stupid with nukes and stuff
Technically he killed a terrorist. Yes he was a leader, but he was also a high class terrorist on a list of people to be killed if possible. Middle strike might not have been the best way to do it, but he had the location of Solimani and it was time sensitive, so he could really consult all that many people
@@starRushi technically we are the terrorist in that action.
Since we launched an act of war on a sovereign nation to kill one man on another countries soil we occupy because of non-existent wmds. Without us congress approval or un approval.
@@Maulstrum97 was there time for approval? Also loll
@@starRushi plenty of time for approval the intelligence agencies know where top military officials are for every major country months in advance.
approval isn't the biggest issue with it but was a big problem since only congress has the authority to declare war any act of war must go through them.
My biggest issue is that mexico walked into american soil and detained americans armed which is an act of war against the us without any consequences but we can bomb someone half way across the world who is not a threat to the us in the slightest violating presidential authority, international law, and attacking a country we occupy illegally just because our ally in the area wanted it regardless of the debt, law, and retaliation danger to our soldiers.
What does america gain by not making mexico pay for it's act of war and committing an act of war on a sovereign nation just to assassinate a military official of a country that talks big on behalf of an ally?
A yes the US starting conflict and acting as the good guy
That sounds familiar
Almost like it have happened before, Right?
*ahem* every war ever *ahem*
Yea its Panay i think
Americans: so are we the baddies?
Brainwashed fool
You should mention the story of Vasiliy Arkhipov, who saved the world during the CMC.
I agree. He was the definition of a REAL HERO in my book. If he hasn't oppose a nuclear missile strike in the U.S. Mainland, the world would be good as dead
Yeah how did that submarine think that war already broke out
Depth charges.
Is he the captain or commander of the nuclear Russian submarine who refused to launch the warhead when they lost contact with the motherland.
@@devinpetersen2387 Yes he was
Glad to see Jerry Smith got back on his feet narrating for children’s books
It sounded familiar, but I didn't recognise him till he started whining.
and then a Rick like character ruins it

Oh my GOD this had been confusing me for SO LONG! THANK YOU!
I actually learned this stuff in "middle school" years ago. Would have assumed that they taught that in USA too.
They do. All of this has been widely known for decades.
Luxudor they do. Though maybe not every school
Grew in South Florida. Knew most of this already.
US history is very biased and tries to never put the army or it’s generals in bad light so they “overlook” some things
Luxudor i learned this in school too, in the US. Idk why this video assumes we didn't know it
I always thought all of this was just common "middle school" knowledge, and I'm not even American. You simply can't study Cold War without taking account how the USA government was willing to do everything in order to protect their own image and look powerful to the Soviets.
Sometimes I legit wonder if the education system in the US describes the cold war as "we beat the evil communists" or something like that.
Lucas C. Both tried to look powerful to each other. That’s why people in the US thought that the USSR was winning the arms race.
Lucas C. It was made to make sure War didn’t happen. The USSR should’ve known they were outgunned and fucking let out missiles stay in Turkey. We needed to look more powerful because we were more powerful and we needed the USSR to put their tiny dick away before people got hurt.
Ricardo C no but that’s how it went. The fucking commies lost and Democracy and capitalism won. The Cold War ended with the bad guys losing
Lucas C. Exactly my thoughts
My grandfather worked on the “crisis.” This is a really accurate representation of the real event.

If I remember correctly:
- Kennedy had told Khrushchev that he would not tolerate Soviet missiles in Cuba, so he felt he had to make good on this threat
- Soviet long range missiles of the time were fairly slow and inaccurate, meaning that from their homeland they couldn’t easily threaten the USA
- Soviet short to medium range missiles however were able to launch faster and were more accurate so getting those in range of America was highly significant
- Direct Soviet presence in Cuba, much like with Soviet missiles in Cuba, was a long term threat because if they somehow got a naval advantage the could block trade going out of the Mississippi River basin via the Gulf of Mexico (though this also had a parallel to Turkey in that the Turks could block Soviet trade going out of the Don and Dnieper river basins through the Black Sea)
Then there is the greater context of the facts that the US had invaded Cuba less than two years previously so the USSR naturally wanted to guarantee Cuba's sovereignty. And the people of Turkey and the people of Russia had gone to war with each other 12 times since 1453.
yeah its almost like, oh idk, it's nuanced and claiming either side was the good guy is kinda misinformative
@@jeffreymeehan3116 Yeah that was an invasion that the US sanctioned but remained secret about. It's called the Bay of Pigs invasion and it was a disaster.
Bit of a weird video. In Ireland we learned a much more nuanced history where the conflict was basically the result of unbridled power plays and brinkmanship that was brought too far by both sides. The panicked last minute de escalation was always made clear and a result of JFK belatedly coming to his senses. Hence the installation of the ‘red phone’ or simply a direct link between both superpowers. Feel like Americans were taught a very different history.
Nope it was the soviets who escalated it
Nope

I was taught this in school. Did I just have a really cool history teacher?
Gravity_Falls_Up what year was that? When I was in highschool we kept reading American history books on World war 1 and 2 where it basically spelt it out as though Americans saved the day most of the time. This was older texts from the 70s, 80s and 90s. But we also read from our own, British and German accounts that pretty much showed us how warped America was with their own history. America didn't save the wars btw. They just came in at the end because the Japanese attacked them. If they hadn't participated we still would have won. And maybe a few bombs wouldn't have gone off...
Gravity_Falls_Up This is common knowledge. Adam jumped the gun on this one.
Same, I'm shocked.
it's common knowledge outside the US lmao
Kewlausgirl if the USA hadn't joined ww1 then the german reich would have taken the soviet oil fields ending their resource crisis allowing them to fuel their tanks and airforce then when they capitulated the soviets no one would be able to stop their dominance as they would have simply invaded the UK by boat pus if japan had bombed 2 weeks earlier and also bombed the other islands the US would have had to move plains from the west coast to Hawaii rather than owning all of the tiny strategically important islands
And then they never took the nukes out of turkey. Still there today...
Elly Harder the deal was about the Jupiter missiles in Turkey, which were immobile and taken out as part of the agreement. However has a NATO country, Turkey has US placed missiles to this day.
@@carterdc3576 that still doesn't make the situation any better. The ussr never got a significant missile presence in cuba
@@PropheticShadeZ I’m confused, what’s your point? That it’s unfair the Soviets never got to put missiles back in Cuba after the Crisis? The Soviets couldn’t put back missiles because not only the deal, but the soured relations between the USSR and Cuba. Global politics is not a fair game.

While this video isn’t entirely wrong it is somewhat misleading. The U.S. did not know that they had the superior nuclear stockpile over the Soviets until well after the crisis. JFK, while not wanting to appear weak, was not the cause of the reaction to missiles being put in Cuba. JFK willingly released this information to the public after it was first discovered and it was then due to public fear and outcry over the communists having nukes only 90 miles away from Florida that JFK felt the need to establish what historically has been labeled a quarantine (a legal blockade but IMO pretty much the same). Additionally, Krushchev wasn’t entirely reasonable, for the first week of the two week crisis, commanding Soviet officers had full authority to launch a nuclear weapon at the U.S. In fact there is a historically famous close call where 2/3 soviet officers opted to nuke the U.S. with only one refusing. It wasn’t until Krushchev spoke with Castro who was advocating for the nuking of the U.S. did Krushchev become willing to compromise. So yea, while it’s not as one sided as the U.S. originally stated, the Soviets were also part of the aggression contrary to how this video portrays the USSR. It takes two tango... and to cause a global nuclear catastrophe.
Oh and sources if anyone was wondering is from my Readings and lectures in one of my college courses on global security politics
Good point about the 3 officers in the sub
and also kennedy's advisors wanted another invasion of cuba which is more of an act of agression than a blockade and the 1st invasion was a complete failure
What are "middles"?
Edit: This has since been corrected.

One thing: the United States did not know that they had more missiles than the USSR at this time. The video seems to suggest that they did know.
Wrong, they did know. The public didn't, but people in the military did. Literally was just reading about this in my poly sci class.
Well at the end of the day both nations had way too much missiles for confort.
Umm the CIA existed you know, and probably infultrsted the Kremlin. The Soviet stockpile of nukes must be like top priority
Noah Baron actually they dint, they wanted to. The soviet union was spreading propaganda to showoff strenght saying they where producing more so the US did the same so the intent was definetly having more but the Soviet where lying about it's nuclear storage. And that's how the US end up with whole lot more...

Dude, all you had to do was give in to the Soviet demand! I mean, I would have considered you smart instead of weak. With the decision you ended up making, I now consider you a dictator.
Thank you so much for this. I was always wondering and confused about why this was such a controversy. There were never any good answers, til this. Thanks!
Also fun fact: we were one choice away from nuclear war, because a technical error caused a radar in Cuba to detect nuclear missiles incoming when there were none, and the choice to ignore it rather than alert superiors made a nuclear war not happen.

TBH Trump probably hates JFK since JFK was a democrat
So many problems with this.
1) The Jupiter Missiles we’re obsolete and were scheduled to be removed from Turkey by the time the missiles showed up in Cuba.
2) Kennedy wasn’t worried about “looking weak.” The missiles in Cuba represented a clear and present danger and a massive escalation of tensions.
1. The shipment was still called during the Turkish missile presence,and there's no turning back if the missiles go away because Cuba was still in range and also
2. The U.S took first nuclear shot on a populated civilian area and they did it AGAIN.

Instead of watching this you can also watch the series Extra Credits made on the cuban missile crisis, way more in depth than a 4 minute video from CH
But was it narrated by Cyril from Archer?
Jebradiah Drake Or Jerry from Rick and Morty?
Gotta say, the extra credits series on this was so much better.
to be fair the extra credits team had a lot more to explain.
Matthew Dyson I watched it there
Craig Samson Yeah, that’s why I prefer it. It paints JFK in a more equal light since he had to go in on the missiles to not back out of a promise, rather than just his ego. The random factors also listed in the Extra History series painted the crisis as more of an actual crisis since lives were being lost and the war was about to happen. While this is good, i prefer the detail of Extra History.
EC had a lot more time to explain the crisis, Adam only had 5 minuets
True
Real quick I'm seeing the comments going on about how this was an American causes near catastrophe, and taken largely out of context and inflated due to missing info due to the limited time this video has.
Yes we placed missiles in Turkey and yes this did eventually lead to the events of Cuban Missile Crisis, and an earlier failed invasion of "Bay of Pigs"
However the lot of us are seemingly convinced that this was unwarranted and unprovoked.
The reason the missiles were placed in Turkey was due to (unsurprisingly) political instability and a slight (but short lived) lead in Russia's nuclear armament. Eventually sightings of Nuclear Silos were showing as active, and this caused a DEFCON3 status.
NATO took notice and started getting missile silos active (but not on standby) in case of attack. Turkey, the closest NATO Nation that wasn't Germany had no Nuclear armament and believed that they would likely be targeted first for a start of a ground invasion. They asked NATO members for supply and America responded and aided in construction of the silos, and getting them armed. They remained in American control however because Turkey had also been facing Politacal instability about the Nukes, (later caused a few civil wars that were our fault,) and wanted to make sure no shots were fired prematurely. The Soviets took notice of this and alerted Kennedy that they needed to get them out. And Kennedy had replied that they were not offensive, but in aid of Turkey.
The Soviets didn't argue and saw this as valid and decided that they should be able to do the same in Cuba (not in aggression, but showing that they basically can do the same thing we can, and not to take them lightly) This as said led to the missile crisis, which of course caused large amounts of alarm, further scales by inflation's in the media.
It wasn't Russia that they were afraid of (launching that is) but that Cuba would launch instead, same thoughts of Turkey doing the same.
This led to a series of options
1.) We let the missiles through (little chance of war)
2) start a blockade(medium, but low chance of war)
3) Invade Cuba and remove the missiles personally (would likely start a war)
Kennedy chose option 2.
He also personally notified the Navy not to shoot. As this would also mean war.
- if there are any further questions from any folks who actually made their way through this comments, feel free to ask. But please. Try to keep it calm.
(There is also a few things I didn't add in the comment, because it would further add to the length of the post, so feel free to ask for some tidbits.)
What civil war in Turkey? There hasn't been any did you mean the coup in 1960? That was pretty much within the knowledge and approval of CIA like nearly all of military interventions in Turkey. Or did you mean civil unrest? Even that didn't start until 6th Fleet. Opposition? Well yes there were some of that. Didn't really ruffle any feathers though.
@@Rylaeth It really wasn't a full on civil war, everyone on one side or the other, but in various regions riots began, (decently wide spread) police force happened, we as America didnt count it as civil war, but Turkey at the time did.
Also the whole coup thing was preventing a Communist official from being elected so we over threw the party.
Also doesn't help that the media Censored a huge part of it, both sides US and Turkey.
@@fyrun4838 Well I should state I am Turkish, I should say I only know two things that can be considered riots between 60 to 65. And both of them were military based attempts to overthrow government and people who pulled the coup in 1960. The riot in 65 were mine workers movement in province of Zonguldak. Most riots were around 1968. My father was a part of this same movement which started with student movements, than became movements against presence of any US military and peaked against 6th fleet coming to the bosphorus. Also living in Turkey, I only base my knowledge on approx.%4-5 of the whole media, this is something you learn living here, you can check "free press" in Turkey for more information :)
Second of all, Adnan Menderes who was couped in 1961 was the furthest thing you can get from communism. He was the advocator for privatisation of back than a state run production industry. Also he pretty much banned all unions, Does that sound communist? His party was based on an alliance between land owners and newly budding industrial bourgeoise. The reason for coup can be summed up by 3 factors. First Menderes was weighing heavily in favor of feudal landowners. That was pulling Turkey which has a strategic importance for, well, almost anything. Which halted growth of capitalism and ties US monopolies have with Turkish industries. Second, Menders policies of oppression became so over the top, a social movement by mainly workers was brewing, and you can see how thats a cause for panic for our imperialist overlords. Third, there are some unconfirmed information about his dealings with Warsaw Pact, which by then under Kruşçev (sorry can't really spell it in English) started the restoration of capitalism by turning soviets to a state which can be called "socio-imperialist". But as I said, the last one is pretty much unconfirmed as far as I know.
@@Rylaeth Well I guess you being Turkish changes things and our archives differ from one another, I go entirely from 1st person accounts so I will admit that emotional bias is possible but everything I've been told and have read says that the riots and what not were from political unrest from opposing Communist and Capitalist sides especially from US interference from internal affairs. Also "Khrushchev" is how we spelled it.

In the rest of the world, most of historians see Kennedy as a mediocre president obsessed with his image and with nearly siucidal foreign policies. But in the USA, most of people still seeing him as a modern day King Arthur, a noble and handsome patriot worthy of a Hollywood movie.
when will americans learn that history is not like in the movies?
don't act as if this is just an American thing all countries had some form of propaganda for their leaders plus you act as if Kennedy didn't do anything good as president
Well it works this way when Dictator Putin of Russia invaded and occupied the Crimea he violated International Law. Let's not forget how cruel Russia was when the illegally invaded and occupied Poland, Cechcloslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and more nations. BTW don't forget how Stalin murdered 40,000 Polish officers when Russia was Hitlers Ally. Look how long Russia enslaved Eastern Europe and other nations. The nations that surround Russia do not trust Russia because of past histroy. After seizing and invading the Ukraine Russia sent a message to former nations invaded and occupied by Russia that Mr. Putin and the Russian governement cannot be trusted and that nations that border Russia are rearming and joining NATO!
Just like how people in the U.K. claim Winston Churchill was some sort of God when he actually did some pretty shady/bad things
Bla, bla, bla. First of Putin is not the dictator, he is a typical representative of his band. Crimea was not occupied, but annexxed. You can go there and ask people(they are mostly Russians), learn something about this region. About international law - nobody gives a shit about these laws, and the biggest shit maker is the U.S. Were those bombarding of Yugoslavia according to international law? Also IRAQ? I do not speak about any of invasions of U.S army around the world. Yes, Soviet Army also put in some contingent in Afghanistan, Vietnam and etc. But it always was according to this law(btw, you can put in your army with permission of legitimate government) and they call them back after. Btw, how many times the U.S claimed that they will call back their army from Afghanistan? Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and more nations in eastern Europe. Do you know something about the Warsaw Pact? This is the same kind of thing like NATO, and ask yourself if some of the countries in NATO block will organize something which is not appropriate in the eyes of major countries in this block, what would happen then? Stalin personally killed them? You do not know any shit about this case. The attention to this case was raised by Nazi Germany representative(Rudolf-Christoph Freiherr von Gersdorff) in 1943. Today the Putin and his band published very ridiculous documents about this case, but also the forwarded to polish side archive documents about this case, and then these documents were never published. Only this ridiculous documents were published, overall it is about 5 documents, half of them is a reference to another half. One of them is handwritten notification to Khrushov, where described that polish officers were killed. But there are many mistakes in this document, first one is that there is used such abbreviation as ЦК КПСС(the central committee of the communist party of soviet union), but in 1940 there was no ЦК КПСС organization, at this time it was ЦК ВКП(б). The ЦК КПСС appears in the 1950s. So Khrushov was well-known stalinist, and after his death, he was well-known antistalinist. Just like that. Yeah, very funny, then I am not surprised that he has had the secret deal with U.S establishment. And there are many things like some photos published by Josef Gebels department of propaganda, where you can see that the bullet shell which has typical bimetallic corrosion. Which is interesting, cause that type of bullet shell was widely used in Germany, but not in the Soviet Union. Also, there were about 9 camps for polish officers in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. And surprisingly, the killed officers were from 3-4 camps which were situated in places which later were occupied by Nazis. The officers and soldier from other camps were survived and the known general Anderson's army was compiled with them. So, therefore, the Soviet NKVD and Stalin himself were very powerful fellows, cause they can see very precisely the future. They precisely did know which territory will be occupied by Nazis, used their bullet shells, and for some reason they left all the documents of these officers in the place(ID cards and etc. were buried with the corpse). And there was one victim was Marian Janiak, who was Polish officer and died in 1983 in Poznan. His son was born in 1948, then after he moved to Switzerland and became president of Swiss National Council. The Soviet Bolsheviks were very mighty, they could kill you and make you a living zombie. All that you have write in your comment is brainwashing material, that you will never think critically. Good luck, have fun.
Cristobal Rojas The only movie I saw in Hollywood that ever glorified John Kennedy was the movie where he only had five minutes of screen time and 10 seconds of which was him getting his head blown off
But. JFK never existed. JFK: just Freaking kidding. Keep asking questions. Show me the birth certificate

If you guys want a better, non bias, and more in-depth explanation of the Cuban Missile Crisis head over to Extra Credit’s Extra History Cuban Missile Crisis series.
Arcesius Antonov how is this biased?
kamron spencer it made JFK look like an incompetent bafoon. Also the US didn’t start the crisis, watch the video I recommend to know more.
Arcesius Antonov it makes both leaders act like 5 year olds because Adam ruins everything is also a comedy show.
Why they call it Cuban Missle Crisis, when it should be called Turkish Missle Crisis.
Your like the eighth guy to comment about extra credit
Not wanting to look weak wasn't a selfish move by kennedy. Appearances are super important on the world stage. When you can't attack, you have to look strong. Secret deals to look tough are how the game works.
In my opinion it's strong to admit that you have to show weakness. A strong person showing no weakness is a weakness in itself. They're afraid of what people think of their decisions. While someone that does show their weakness is actually stronger as they show they don't care what anybody thinks of it
Weakness doesn't win elections with paranoid scared citizens
If they did that we would have communism by now
Little does he know we put those missiles there because they kept making threats to us
that's how the cold war went basically...
I mean both nations threatened each other publically but the US was the one to directly put the USSR under the threat of nuclear annihlation. This video isn't pro soviet union it basically calls out the government BS
ExtraCredits has a great series on the Cuban Missle Crisis that goes into much better detail, and does a better job of explaining historical context
Tim stevens
Also has less bias towards the situation.
I use these as more entertaining and mildly educational
Tim stevens I
I mean the video was just 4 minutes and it had to be entertaining. I'm wondering is anything he said just outright lie? (i didn't read those books so can you tell me, please I'm interasted)
Gravity Gamer “krushevez wanted nothing more than to end the crisis”
That’s an outright lie. He wanted to destroy America.
This show's presentation of history is entertaining, though I find it frustrating that, more often than not, they debunk a reductive view of history, only to present an opposite, but equally reductive, view of history.
I don't understand what you just said, but I like it.
Sean Murphy it not a certain view from one side its more of an overview
Of course...the Bay of Pigs fiasco played a part as well...
Mikayel Hakobyan she’s saying that there was more to it than that. And she’s right, this is a much more... anti-American approach. Yes, in some ways it’s more accurate, but in others it’s not.
Extra History did an excellent series on the Cuban Missile Crisis that takes more points of view into account than this does.
There was a bit more to this, but it's a great summary for sure
Is Chris Parnell (the guy who voices Jerry in Rick&Morty) in this ruin.

Which is absurd, unethical and misleading.
"sweet salty caviar" that one cracked me up so much
Adam entered dressed like Dr. Strangelove. I love it.
Extra history's cuban misisle crisis provides a much well explained timeline of events before during and after the crisis. This basically paints USSR as the reasonable guy and basically says JFK widened the crisis for looks. Its more complex than that.
John Ryan Jaminal the extra history one does the opposite
The thing with great man history, it has a way of painting people.
R GG they do it better, accuracy is would be 97% because they admit to change it a bit to create a better and easier to understand perspective.
Btd Pro Not true. Extra Credits did it 100% accurate
RedCaptainN Warter why do they have an episode at the end of each extra history dedicated to lies and mistakes.
I already saw this, thanks adam
Oğuz Can DAMN YOU GOT MAD
Anna Muller nah, that’s hella gay
Why does RFK sound like JFK and JFK sounds like young Eisenhower
watching adam soothes me.
A couple points on this
- You left Castro out completely, when he had a lot to do with it, and his reluctance to give up the missiles soured Soviet-Cuban relations for years to come
- The direct phone line between the US and USSR was established after this; in part the conflict was caused by a lack of communication
There was a scene on the Bay of Pigs invasion with Castro in it.
- the crisis actually make Khrushchev look weak, and he is later ousted in 1964
Robert MacNamara, in the documentary The Fog of War, talked about how Kennedy actually thought no deal was possible, but Tommy Thompson, who know Khrushchev personally, convinced him that the Soviets would agree to the bargain that was ultimately struck. If Thompson hadn't been in the room when Kennedy was making the decisions, we might have had nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
I didn’t realize American text books don’t teach this
I thought it was common knowledge for anyone who knows the Cuban Missile crisis ...
@James Moody so is everyone else.
That's how government work.
I learned this in school and im a american. I alwas hear about how "OMG AMERICANS DONT LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL" yet im a american and i go to school and i learn about all these things.
@@razortheonethelight7303 There's only one reasonable explanation: YOU'RE A COMMUNIST SPY! Aha! You have outed yourself with your more accurate education of historical events!
@@tiaxanderson9725 no its called i have a awesome history teacher. He is always the lead track couch. He Really loves to have us see both sides and perspective. When we learned about the Spanish American war we had to learn about it from both perspectives. We even had to do the same thing for WW1 and would have for the WW2 unit but then corna viruis.
JFK's response to Khrushchev's reasonable agreement:
JFK: I like your funny words Russian man.
Watch Extra Credit's version on Cuban missile crisis. It's more detailed and longer so it's more unbiased. You can't be really detailed in 4 minute video so it comes off as little bit biased (and I'm not even American).
Fortzon biased and undetailed are not the same thing why do people act like it is?
kamron spencer lack of detail forces bias where it's not intended.
Extra credits is usually wrong, check out r/badhistory on Reddit actual historians have MAJOR gripes with it
Extra credits is a good starter for topics but nothing more
EC only gotten it from Wikipedia which is made by humans not actual people who study history.
Too simplified and kind of misleading, Extra Credits has a way better series that properly explains the cold war.
ikr
Yep extra credits is the best gaming/history/sci-fi teaching channel
No because that was only from Wikipedia, Adam gotten it from many other websites.
Agreed
Adam's show focuses more on debunking misconceptions. So it's not about accurate history, it's more about "This is wrong, it was like this."
Шикарно снято :)

+username1nmillion Watch the movie and you'll see.
So your telling me my history teacher lied to me then ?
The guy voicing John Kennedy sounds eerily like the actor who played Kennedy in Black Ops 1.
Kruschev was basically fired for "mishandling" this crisis and looking weak to the US, while Kennedy, of course, is fondly remembered for "handling" the situation. Also, Castro almost single handedly sent the world into war, even though he knew it would mean the annihilation of Cuba.
Castro didn't give a crap about his country or his people. lol
I killed Castro in call of duty black ops 1
Like they say, is better to die standing that to live on your knees.
ObstacleTurtle didn’t you later realized that Castro survived by tricking you into killing a double?
Maybe you fell for it but not me...
Kennedy wasnt afraid of the missiles in cuba just because he was afraid of looking weak it was also because of the first strike policy, it was the same thing that krushtechv(yes i know i missed spelled it) was afraid.
Having missiles close to their country let the enemy atack them first with no way of defending against them selves or retaliating until it was too late.
Plus a blockade was actually pretty tame compared to bomming cuba(which is what his adviser wanted to do).
Plus after that kennedy made an effort to try to better the relationship and communication between the usa and ussr
That’s the thing though, because America did that in the first place by setting up missiles even closer to Russia in turkey and Italy
Khrushchev knew that eventually if America wasn’t careful they would end up in a nuclear war because America had never felt threatened so they hadn’t realised the nuclear threat like we do today. So Khrushchev placed the missiles in Cuba to give them a taste of their own medicine and to make America face the consequences of a nuclear war. Which I think was successful because it lead to the establishment of MAD (mutually assured destruction) and a hotline between Moscow and DC. Although this outcome is great, I won’t deny that the Cuban missile crisis literally could have ended the world and equally it was dangerous to place missiles in Cuba as it was for America to place them in turkey and Italy
The Americans thought the arms race was neck and neck, it wasn’t until later that they realized that the Soviet Union had way less arms.
Which didn’t even matter since even a handful those bombs would be enough to greatly destroy and or ruin the planet
It's wasn't just about numbers, the US missiles were faster at long ranges than the long range USSR ones, but the USSR short range missile were more precise than the US short range ones, also the USSR missiles had a considerably larger blast radius
Quick correction, the missiles weren’t of much difference to Russia because the US was flying nuclear bombers near the border for years
