My mom told me the other day, all this talk about the nukes is reminding her of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I'm going to ask those smarter here than me, is she right?
Cuba was on our doorstep. A very very big deal.
This is nowhere near out doorstep. The ramifications for us are far less than for Japan, South Korea or even for China and Russia.
I hid under a desk as a grade schooler back then. We were certainly taking it seriously.
In my lifetime, the only events I remembered as clearly was the Kennedy assassination, man on the moon, and 9/11.
