The Cuban missile crisis of 1962 is about to be re-enacted. The Cuban missile crisis is the closest the world came to witnessing a nuclear conflict between the United States and the then USSR. This crisis was partly triggered by the attempted deposition of the Cuban communist government by the United States and the deployment of US missiles in Turkey. This time round, Russia is responding to NATO's attempt to expand into Ukraine, something NATO had promised would never happen. It would be interesting to watch how the situation unfolds considering that the US would never fathom living under the threat of Russian missiles in Cuba. This is certainly the only threat that would get the US to behave rationally.
