    Tbqh I think the only sound strategic options were to back down or strike first and just accept nuclear armageddon as a given. And call me selfish but I’m glad he backed down.

      I agree there were two options; i agree with castro on striking first being the better of the two policies; i agree with mao on nuclear annihilation not being the end of the world

      Would I die (or, realistically, my grandmother)? Possibly. But you know who wouldnt die, who wouldnt suffer 70 years of the western boot on their face? The peoples of the global south on whose insecurity the first and second worlds’ security was founded on

      And call me selfish, but i’d prefer nuclear annihilation of human civilisation to the slow extermination of most of the biosphere we seem.headed towards tbqh
