Liberals in US wearing Che t shirts

Did Che Guevara tell UK journalist Sam Russell of Daily Worker that after Khruschev heard Che and Castro wanted the missiles to fire at US, and so immediately withdrew the missiles from Cuba, he (Che) plotted blowing up buildings in New York, yes or no?

America Planted missiles in turkey with the possibility of firing them at moscow.

@Guitarman123 Both countries have missiles placed strategically to fire at each other. When I was growing up, the threat of nuclear war was constant. We had regular "duck and cover" drills in school where we had to dive under our desks and curl up with our fingers laced behind our heads. Today those have been replaced with active shooter drills, which at least make more sense because kids are more likely in the US to be killed by a gunman than in a nuclear war.

@LeopoldBloom they did, but america placing missiles in turkey is why soviets did the same in cuba which obviously came extremely close to ww3

@Guitarman123 Yeah, America is always wrong and the Soviets were saints.

@LeopoldBloom if they hadn't intended those missiles to go to Moscow then its likely the cuban missile crises wouldn't have happened

@Guitarman123 It might not have happened at that moment in time, but once ICBMs were developed, the proximity of missiles to their target was irrelevant.

@LeopoldBloom both sides guilty as each other. Both very paranoid about the others military and firepower
