Unfortunately, Pat, our hand is now forced thanks to the inaction of Presidents who didn't use the big stick when they had the chance.

*** Either the U.S. or North Korea backs down, as Nikita Khrushchev did in the Cuban missile crisis, or there will be war. ***

Oh, Pat, Pat, Pat. I would’ve thought you knew better. The big picture timeline of what happened in those days is this:
1-US missiles to Turkey
2-Soviet missiles to Cuba
3-Soviet missiles removed from Cuba
4-US missiles removed from Turkey.

In order to make Kennedy look tough, the MSM calls events 2 & 3 the “Cuban Missile Crisis”. But don’t be fooled, Nikita Khrushchev got exactly what he wanted, which was to have those missiles in Turkey removed.

Pat’s good at leaping into the saddle and riding off to the sound of his own gums.
