10:17 Just goes to show how stupid Kruschev was. Having missles that could reach the entire states wouldโ€™ve been considered war.

Irony โ€ฆ Chinaโ€™s weather balloon goes into US airspace, the US gets its undies all twisted and claims itโ€™s a spy balloon.

US constantly flying INTO Russian and Cuban airspace itโ€™s ok. Only deemed as defensive. Needed.

Then Powerโ€™s flight was a mere WEATHER flight. Yeah right โ€ฆ

Telling this story without mentioning Americaโ€™s nukes in Turkey that were placed there in 1959 is pure propaganda!

The spy aircraft took off to take the famous photos because people on the ground had earlier on taken other photos and warned about what was going on.
Spy aircrafts don't just take off without previous confirmed warning through other channels.

Maybe it is the US who should not have nuclear weapons...

misinformation. it was the USA placing nukes in Hungary or Turkey that prompted Russia to place nukes in Cuba. The americans did not like this and removed the nukes from next to Russia after which Russia returned the nukes back to Russia.

They could have just sent Chuck Norris over there alone! โ€ฆWell, on second thought, then the Soviets would have rightfully accused America of using a weapon of mass destruction.

It was America that first deployed its nuclear missiles in Turkey and Russia responded by deploying its missiles in Cuba

We are waiting for a documentary about the US nuclear missiles that were deployed in Turkey before Russia deployed its missiles in Cuba. Turkey missile crisis
