The Cuban Missile Crisis 1962 - The Rest of the Story - The USA Deployed Nuclear Missiles in Turkey Aimed at the USSR in 1959... and Then Later the Soviet Union Did a Similar Action in Cuba. Causing JFK to Freak Out.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 35-day confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, which escalated into an international crisis when American deployments of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba. Despite the short time frame, the Cuban Missile Crisis remains a defining moment in national security and nuclear war preparation. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.[3]

Atomic Missile

The current crisis with Turkey over Syria has raised questions, yet to be resolved, about the security of 50 U.S. nuclear weapons stored at Incirlik Air Base. These questions have been posed before, going back almost to the start of nuclear deployments in Turkey in 1959.

US Atomic Missiles Deployed in Turkey

Italy and Turkey accepted Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile bases. Italian and Turkish crews trained to operate the missiles, but Americans controlled the nuclear warheads. Two squadrons with a total of 30 missiles were operational at Gioia del Colle, Italy, by 1961; a single squadron of 15 Jupiters became operational at Cigli Air Base, Turkey, in 1962. Turkey regarded these Jupiters as a symbol of Alliance's determination to use atomic weapons against Russian attack on Turkey whether by large conventional or nuclear forces, although Turks had been most reluctant admit the presence IRBM's publicly.

Is it true that the United States of America had a secret missile base in Turkey during the height of the Cold War?
Yes. It was dismantled after the Cuban Missile Crisis, in return for the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba. This quid-pro-quo wasn’t known by the American public until sometime later. This gave the world the impression that the Soviets backed down during the Cuban Missile Crisis and that the US gave Khrushchev nothing in return.
SEE? LYING BY THE US GOVERNMENT WORKED! I knew Nothing About the US Deployment of Atomic Missiles in Turkey... 
The Truth Makes the Entire Event Seem Totally Different... Like: It's Somehow "OK" for the USA To Point Atom Bombs at Moscow but... The Instant the USSR Does the Same Thing... FREAK OUT!

A video by the Kurdish news agency showed a convoy of armored vehicles driving through the northeastern city of Qamishli. People in the street hurled potatoes at the vehicles, shouting, “No America,” and “America liar,” in English.
“Like rats, America is running away,” one man shouted in Arabic. Another shouted obscenities and talked of babies in Kurdish-held who have died in the Turkish offensive.

US Military Bombs our own Base to Prevent Weapons from being Confiscated by Turkey or Syria or Kurds or Russian. #Runaway Brave Sir Robin!

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/16/politics/us-airstrike-storage-site-syria/index.html

US conducts airstrike on weapons storage site as troops pull out of Syria.


Two US Air Force F-15 jets conducted an airstrike targeting an American munitions storage bunker at a US base in Syria Wednesday in order to prevent the munitions and other equipment from falling into the hands of armed groups, two US defense officials told CNN.
"On Oct. 16, after all Coalition personnel and essential tactical equipment departed, two Coalition F-15Es successfully conducted a pre-planned precision airstrike at the Lafarge Cement Factory to destroy an ammunition cache, and reduce the facility's military usefulness," US Army Col. Myles Caggins, a spokesman for the US-led military coalition fighting ISIS, confirmed in a statement Wednesday.
A US defense official told CNN that no other forces were nearby at the time. Had they been, it's possible the decision to bomb the munitions might have been aborted because it might have been perceived as an attack on whatever forces were nearby.
This is the first known instance where the US has had to destroy equipment as it conducts a rapid pullout from northern Syria, following President Donald Trump's withdrawal order which was announced Sunday in the face of an expanding Turkish military offensive targeting America's one-time allies in the fight against ISIS, the Syrian Kurds.

Lindsey Graham on Trump's Syria decision: "He's putting the nation at risk" 

https://www.axios.com/lindsey-graham-donald-trump-syria-withdrawal-e103594e-2417-4355-a5af-46a0f197e838.html

In an interview with Axios on Tuesday night, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) condemned President Trump in his harshest language yet for deciding to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, suggesting Trump is violating his oath of office by allowing Turkey to move in and attack the Kurds.

"He took an oath of office to protect the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. There's no bigger enemy to our nation than ISIS. And there's no way we can protect the country from radical Islam without partners like the Kurds."

What Kind Of Wimp is The Puppet of Turkey? and Russia? and China? and Ukraine? and the NRA? and Coal Mine Owners? TOTAL CORRUPTION POTUS! #TRUMPFAIL


Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trump's strongest Republican defenders in Congress, blasted Trump Monday over his decision to remove US troops from northern Syria as Turkey plans a military offensive in the region, saying it was "shortsighted and irresponsible."
"This impulsive decision by the President has undone all the gains we've made, thrown the region into further chaos. Iran is licking their chops. And if I'm an ISIS fighter I've got a second lease on life. So to those who think ISIS has been defeated you will soon see," Graham said during an interview on Fox News' "Fox and Friends."

"I hope I'm making myself clear how shortsighted and irresponsible this decision is in my view," the South Carolina Republican added.

Another Corrupt Republican, Interior Secretary Zinke CAUGHT Spending Taxpayer's Dollars on a Vacation to TURKEY...

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/18/zinke-wife-interior-dept-probe-914313

Interior Dept. probe faults Zinke for travels with wife

The report revealed that Interior spent $25,000 to send a security detail on vacation with Ryan and Lola Zinke when they traveled through Turkey last year.

JoAnn and I enjoyed going to my brother in laws farm in the Ozark mountains. When Ray Chapin came home from Vietnam he bought some land in Missouri...

and camped out there for 5 years before he sent for his wife. He had PTSD and did not want to have anything to do with American Society so he just SURVIVED way out there in the woods until his PTSD subsided. During that time he built a house out of rocks. His whole family were Masons by trade so he knew how to build. They grew their own food and he hunted and every summer he would go to California for three months and work building brick walls. That made enough money for them to live all year round.

The rock house had an Abalone Shell as a decoration near the front door. Basically a jewel... The people that lived in the Ozarks had never seen an abalone shell before and it was an amazing treat for them to see such a beautiful rainbow hued shell. My brother in law liked to go scuba diving in Mendocino for Abalone with his brother Gary.

We went for Christmas. I have never been so cold. We had a turkey dinner that Ray raised. I held the turkey's head and Ray hit the neck with a machete. Blood squirted everywhere. THAT is a task i prefer delegating to someone else. I grew up in a society where you bought turkey at the grocery store instead of killing it yourself. Some neighbors of the Chapins had a brief argument about this subject. They had raised a pig and the husband wanted to make BACON but the wife wanted a pet pig. She had fallen in love with the animal and severely resisted the idea of BACON! Eventually they killed the pig and she cried but got over it. They were California Hippies that moved to the Ozarks to go back to the land...

We also visited in the summer and went skinny dipping in the creek. Ray grew "MULE" marijuana and we got high and I rode in the back of the truck looking at the big puffy clouds. He said those clouds looked Biblical and he always expected GOD to appear at any moment... The called the marijuana "MULE" because it "Kicked you in the head"... Those were some really fun times.

We went to Eureka Springs Arkansas to see the Passion Play at the Christ of the Ozarks. Sadly, we arrived on the one day a week when there was no show... They had a giant sculpture of Christ that looks like the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They built a stage set right into the side of a mountain with a cave and a rock that moved so that Christ could come back from the dead.
