    Trying to imagine doing the Cuban Missile Crisis but we’re replacing Castro, Kennedy, and Khrushchev with Zelenskyy, Macron, and Putin.

    What could go wrong?

      That order doesn’t make sense, does it? It should be Castro=Zelensky, Khrushchev=Macron, and Kennedy=Putin … but even then, it would only really make sense in the context of a prior action by Putin stationing missiles in points at map randomly Belarus. Maybe I am overthinking it, but I think the Cuban Missile Crisis was a different situation, especially as it additionally also occurred during a cold war.
