Well that was what Kennedy and his Chief of Staff McNamara thought. They realised a diplomatic solution was the only answer. Robert Kennedy actually advised JFK to privately acknowledge that they would dismantle the Turkish missile sites a year later.

Their own military were talking about taking casualties in the millions but the end justified the means. They believed that there would be enough of an American population left to claim a victory. These Generals were the Hawk of Hawks.

Russians won’t nuke London as they’ve got too much money tied up there.

No.

Putin just wants to maintain the status quo. He has developed weapons to the extent he is ahead of the Americans. The West have behaved badly over the last five years, he is just trying to reassert himself

Kim Jung Un he has marched himself up a hill and he needs a bit of help to wriggle back down the hill.

I actually reckon they will refine nuclear weapons to the point of a glorified RPG.

There are rumors the Israeli's already have deployed them.

But hopefully common sense will prevail

I wasn't around in the 60's, but I bet it was a better than living in the second half of the 40's.

I remember the 80's fondly as a kid... The stuff going on in the news then didn't really sink in.
Now we've got ISIS, north korea and putin being difficult.

I worked on an RAF base, and they do have fighter jets on standby all the time, even now.

What do you mean we have ISIS..? in Northern Ireland in 1972- 353 people were killed. In 1988 at Lockerbie 270 people were killed we've never had it so good these days.

The 80's were the days of terror I was living in London at the time don't believe what you read or hear in the media. Be scared we will take away more of your rights keep paying your taxes...

In the last 10 years 400 people have died in police custody that's 40 a year. 0 Police convicted of wrong doing. Between 2010 and 2017 there have been 49 deaths due to terror related incidents.

Who kills more...

49 is not correct, there has been over 100

 

[littlespark]

There has always been terrorists in one form or another.

The OP was commenting on the state of the world in the past. I was saying that there's not much difference now.

When these acts of violence happen, people die. It matters not if its 1, 10, 100 or 1000. It shouldn't happen.

Ignore the scaremongering, but be vigilant.

Heres a question.
Would you report an unattended bag at a busy major city airport or train station?

...A certain 1940's Japanese Emperor would not concur...

You lot need to be less concerned about terrorists,rogue leaders and arms proliferation,and more concerned regarding data holding,and no new antibiotics in the last 40 years...
