In the early 1980s, according to newly released documents, Fidel Castro was suggesting a Soviet nuclear strike against the United States, until Moscow dissuaded him by patiently explaining how the radioactive cloud resulting from such a strike would also devastate Cuba.


- This one should be obvious. Just the thought about what could have happened to the United States is scary. Luckily for Moscow we're all alive. The lead itself grabs my attention immediately because it it happened I could have never been born. This country would have been involved in possibly the next world war. Where it would have taking civilization as we know it, nobody knows. This may be the only time I ever thank Russia for its help. Thanks. We, the United States of America may never have defeated U.S.S.R. in the 1980's Olympics at hockey in the "miracle on ice." Maybe you should have had let Castro do what he wanted to. Just kidden.
