[usa] cold comfort for the russians …

Dr. Strangelove

I recently read on one blog, [please set me straight on whose], that what the Americans didn’t know in the Cuba crisis was that they were floating above Soviet subs with nuclear tipped warheads, as they, the Americans, intended dropping depth charges. Once our American friends wipe their brows, it’s time for the return bout; it’s the Russians’ turn to blanch. Actually, they were nearly wiped out too, without the least inkling of it. Just a few notes about it here.
