In this episode, we peel back the layers of October 1962 to reveal how close the world came to nuclear annihilation. While history often reduces the Cuban Missile Crisis to a tense standoff between Kennedy and Khrushchev, the reality on the ground in Cuba was far more chaotic and deadly. We explore the secret deployment of Soviet R-12 Dvina missiles to sites like San Cristóbal, and the frantic intelligence gathering by U-2 spy planes that captured photographic proof. The conversation dives into the internal dynamics of the Kremlin, where Nikita Khrushchev gambled on a strategic surprise against John F. Kennedy’s America. We also examine the role of Fidel Castro, who, believing war had already begun, authorized his commanders to use tactical nuclear weapons if invaded. This is not just a story of diplomatic maneuvering but of human error, miscommunication, and the terrifying proximity of total destruction during the Cold War. #CubanMissileCrisis #October1962 #JohnFKennedy #NikitaKhrushchev #FidelCastro #U2SpyPlane #SovietMissiles #R12Dvina #SanCristobal #ExComm #ColdWarHistory #NuclearThreat #HavanaCuba #MoscowRussia #WashingtonDC #BayOfPigs #StrategicBalance #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
