Thanks for yet another screwing, McNamara. May your bones burn green.

All that flatline talk from obomobots and our reduced stature(now we're humble, not arrogant) in the world as being a good thing was just dangerous and irresponsible.
Besides, the range of these missiles threaten much of the South American continent, possibly with enough range to even take out Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
My thoughts exactly.
Granted ... I was thinking about the blockade part.
If the missiles are to be delivered by ship, I say wait until the vessel is somewhere over the Puerto Rico trench, (the second deepest ocean trench in the world), and put a heavy torpedo into her. An electronic warfare bird in the vicinity can make sure no “mayday” messages get out and suddenly we have another victim of the Bermuda Triangle.
The real Jimmy Carter had a bit to do with the establishment of the current regime in Venezuela.
Kennedy was looking to remove the Jupiter IRBM’s well before the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Jupiters were only intended as a stopgap until more reliable ICBM’s and SLBM’s were on line. The Jupiter was already obsolete in 1962. Liquid fueled, using cryogenic liquid oxygen as the oxidizer was the major risk. From go order to launch would be maybe one hour. Add the launchers were above ground fixed emplacements. So the missiles would likely never make it to launch if the balloon went up. The Soviets already knew the locations, the launch pads in Italy were overflown by Warsaw Pact reconnaisance planes.
About the same time the Minuteman missiles were coming on line (hardened silos, fast reaction time), and also the first Polaris submarine (even if they were in the East Med, try finding them, Admiral Gorschkov). One Polaris sub, with 16 missiles, sailing somewhere quantitatively replaced one Jupiter squadron. And we built 41 of them, plus the Royal Navy had theirs.
So getting rid of the Jupiters, already obsolete and an operational liability, turned out to me more of a face saving measure for Khrushchev.
The real reason why Khrushchev pulled the missiles out was not just Kennedy going to DEFCON 2, but also Castro and Che Guevara were seriously considering taking the missiles, launching, and starting WW3. A step that even Khrushchev would not take. Not the case though for Imadinnerjacket. He wants the nukes to fly, in order to bring forth his “Twelfth Imam”, and doesn’t care if his country is incinerated in the process. But also in this case, we do not have a President with the resolve to stand up to the threat. JFK was indeed ready to unleash Curtis Lemay.
Obama has to be impeached for incompetence and malfeasance and holding office under false pretenses. Once impeached, he can be removed.
A blockade of Cuba was a bit more to scale than a blockade of Venezuela..........You can’t blockade Venezuela!
Creep those nukes closer and closer, America should not play a big santa role in the world, we want the black santa who gives poisoned gifts and making us PC by being now evil, and his name is Zero. (sarc off semi)
Liberal vanity, retards and pride will kill this country... along our homosexuality experts at creeping in AIDS throughout.
Hell, we can’t even blockade Somalia!
Thanks for yet another screwing, McNamara. May your bones burn green.
Trouble is.

Better just overthrow that little nut case.
You just put on the calender for one day every week for a year.
The revisonist history that Kennedy stood up to Khrushchev and forced the Soviets to backdown is BS. There was a quid pro quo that JFK fanatics refuse to acknowledge.
Obama’s Cuban missile crisis. Will he deal with it?
The revisionist history that Kennedy stood up to Khrushchev and forced the Soviets to back down is BS........................................ If USA removes missiles from Turkey, USSR will remove missiles from Cuba. OK? Agreed! Da! JFK, the big myth continues.
Moroe Doctrine was written at a time when our leaders believed in the U.S.
Zer0 would apologize for such a document.
