K555. I do think there are some similarities. So do others. Take a read of this for a view which suggests the current threat is even greater than the Cuban episode.
The risk of nuclear escalation following Russia's invasion of Ukraine is now as high as it was during the Cuban missile crisis.

All I was suggesting in my first post was that we are in unprecedented times and uncharted waters. Christ knows what the lunatic is capable of and most of us will have no conscious memory of living through an escalation of the threat Of a nuclear conflict. If reports are to be believed the Russians have already fired on an existing nuclear facility In Ukraine.
Like every rational person I sincerely hope that you are correct and this is just posturing.
