Are we there again?

It appears that the entire world -- literally -- barely survived the 1962 Cuban missile crisis by sheer luck, and a 1992 conference that included Fidel Castro and Robert McNamara revealed the fundamental, dangerous misconceptions each side had about the other, and the false narrative most of us today have about what happened.

Picture this image in your mind’s eye: a thumb and forefinger brought so near to each other that they almost, but don’t quite, touch. As the thumb and forefinger nearly touch, a voice says, “We came that close to nuclear war in the Cuban missile crisis.”

More than relevant today as we watch Trump and North Korea bluster at each other.
