3. How old are you? Did you know this?
quote........
According to recently declassified files in Moscow, Khrushchev had sent over 100 nuclear
warheads into the Caribbean island, in case of American attack. Approximately 42,000 Soviet soldiers were ready to launch the
nukes within a few hours notice. The Soviet commander in Cuba, General Issa Pliyev, was prepared to use every one of those
warheads, should the United States invade Cuba.

-------end quote

We were truly hours away from WW3
