  6. 🍿Topaz (1969) is a spy thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Frederick Stafford, Karin Dor, and John Forsythe. Firmly in John Le Carre territory, it’s a Cold War tale set during the run-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Check out Speckled Band’s Hitchcock homage track Vertigo, out now to stream and download.

  17. #Ukraine started the war like Castro started the #CubanMissileCrisis by letting the USSR put missiles near the US. They didn't. Leaders of weaker nations can say no but it's really hard when the most powerful countries in the world tell you to do something and can manipulate your politics to have you removed if you don't. Or sanction or invade you. The US and the EU knew fucking around there on Russia's border was going to piss off Putin. #Trump should say that. #uspol

  18. #RussianWarships off #Cuba? Let’s hope it’s not déjà vu all over again.
    
The #UnitedStates must urge #Putin continue to honor the understanding that ended the #CubanMissileCrisis.

Is #Russia still abiding by the terms of the “understanding” that resolved the 1962 Cuban missile crisis? Recent reports of Russian #warships conducting exercises in the #Caribbean raise serious concerns about Moscow’s intentions.

    Are you likening zhe delivered of weapons to #Ukraine for its self-defense against the #Russian invaders to the attempted delivery of #nuclear weapons by the #SovjetUnion in the #CubanMissileCrisis?

    A journalist’s first-hand account of the Cuban Missile Crisis…

    Legendary journalist Marvin Kalb was Moscow Bureau Chief for the CBS Evening News during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.

    He has written that, while many people in the world feared a global nuclear catastrophe, he did not; nor did many others who were in Moscow at the time.

  21. Quite interesting how people narrate their own history.

    Particularly in this case, seeing as how in the past 40 years (as the Cuban Missile Crisis has gone from living memory) the events have turned more black-and-white. Present narration tends to forget the Bay of Pigs (and the US missiles in Turkey, and the situation in Cuba pre-revolution).

    [Also: posting partly as a personal reference. Going to lose these if I just save locally.]

  22. Said the night wind to the little lamb:
    Do you see what I see?
    Way up in the sky, little lamb
    Do you see what I see?
    A star, a star, dancing in the night
    With a tail as big as a kite
    Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy:
    Do you hear what I hear?
    Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
    Do you hear what I hear?
    A song, a song, high above the trees
    With a voice as big as the sea
    Noël Regney

  24. AFAIK the last time a president made broadband speech on an actually executive situation was during the #CubanMissileCrisis by #JFK.

  25. #EarwormOfTheDay finally #IWokeUpLikeThis with some #Christmas music - this somewhat extra but wonderful take on 'Do You Hear What I Hear' by Elphaba/Elsa herself, Idina Menzel:

    The song dates from 1962, a yearning hope for #peace following the #CubanMissileCrisis.
