I'm still mind blown by how close we came to nuking each other back in '62 
. I mean, can you imagine if Kennedy and Khrushchev had actually gone through with their plans? It would've been total chaos
. But instead, they managed to talk things out, and it's all thanks to their calm heads and desire for peace
.
I think what's really interesting is how their families view the crisis differently
. Like, Khrushcheva's family in Russia was like "Yaaas, we're so proud of grandpa Nikita for saving the world!"
, while Kennedy's dad in America was all worried sick
. It's crazy to think that our grandparents and great-grandparents lived through something as intense as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And I love how Max and Nina Khrushcheva are trying to bring some hope to the table
. Like, we've still got leaders today who seem more interested in drama than diplomacy
. But hearing their personal stories and insights is like a reminder that even though things might seem dark now, there's always a chance for us to learn from history and do better
.
Their conversation is so refreshing, especially when they talk about how we're missing out on leadership responsibility these days
. It's all about being willing to take the lead in seeking peace instead of resorting to conflict. Fingers crossed that we can learn from the past and create a better future for ourselves
