to me, this just seems like a different cause to nuclear war but with the same actions/ effects taking place with the cuban missile crisis/ cold war.
"Who will be the first to blink?"
-one quote from a cuban missile crisis period was something like "they just blinked first"
"weakness runs in the family"
the kennedy family was always told they were weak. mostly jfk because he didnt go straight to war with cuba or call in air strikes on the missiles that werent active yet. it goes along with the movie "thirteen days" about how his brother robert is weak too and same with their father.
"air strikes and invasions"
this sounds like it also came from the crisis because every general in EXCOMM wanted the president to make his decision of invading cuba and calling air strikes but he never did. there was just a blockade of cuba and no soviet ships we let through. they were turned around/ quarantined. this was their last choice to avoid DEFCON 1, which is nuclear war.
"political dead man"
one man said he was a political dead man because he was trying for appeasement. he wanted soviet missiles out of cuba in exchange for the us's missiles out of turkey. appeasement was looked at as just the worst possible thing then.
but the cuban missile crisis was in 1962,
"remember that vietnam thing"
vietnam war came in the late 60's/ early 70's
so that's just the part that doesnt make sense.
anyways, yeah.
