It was never going to happen.
The cold war was nothing more than two countries waiting for the other to make the first move. It's called Mutually Assured Destruction.
The duck-and-cover and evacuation drills seemed like good fun at the time for a 9 year old in school.
Dare I use the word: NOSTOLGIA????????????????????????????????
Too bad Americans have grown up being fed liberal hype like pablum about the fictional "camelot" administration. Thanks to the liberal media Russia knew more about JFK's weaknesses than Americans did. JFK's criminal use of the CIA as a recruiting and training organization for a foreign invasion was an impeachable offense but the media ignored it like they ignored JFK's quirky brother's "exploding cigar diplomacy". When JFK finally left the poor fools that the CIA recruited, trained, fed and housed, to die at the Bay of Pigs it seemed clear to Russia that the US was being led by a fool so they placed missiles on Cuba. In an effort to get his balls back, JFK made an issue out of the Cuban Missile Crisis and put to the US in "Devcon 2". The dirty little secret was that Russia had "boomer-subs" just like we did cruising off the US coast so a couple of missiles on Cuba wasn't really that big a deal.

First (and hopefully the last) time we went to DEFCON 2. Thanks to the drooling fawning liberal media, the Russia and Cubans knew more about JFK's weaknesses than American citizens did. Russia (correctly) judged JFK as a weak president after the Bay of Pigs debacle and judged brother Robert as a screwball so they decided on a bluff that almost led to nuclear war.

Here is what we know now. The CIA willfully LIED to the President of the United States to bait him into an invasion of Cuba, and a probable war with Russia. JFK had no use for the CIA after the Bay of Pigs and threatening to "shatter the agency into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."
Bay of Pigs
Washington's national-security apparatus had decided there was no living with Castro. During the final months of the Eisenhower Administration, the CIA started planning an invasion of the island, recruiting Cuban exiles who had fled the new regime. Agency officials assured the young President who inherited the invasion plan that it was a "slam dunk," in the words of a future CIA director contemplating another ill-fated U.S. invasion. J.F.K. had deep misgivings, but unwilling to overrule his senior intelligence officials so early in his Administration, he went fatefully ahead with the plan. The doomed Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961 became the Kennedy Administration's first great trauma.
We now know—from the CIA's internal history of the Bay of Pigs, which was declassified in 2005—that agency officials realized their motley crew of invaders had no chance of victory unless they were reinforced by the U.S. military. But Allen Dulles and Richard Bissell, the top CIA officials, never disclosed this to J.F.K. They clearly thought the young President would cave in the heat of battle, that he would be forced to send in the Marines and Air Force to rescue the beleaguered exiles brigade after it was pinned down on the beaches by Castro's forces. But Kennedy—who was concerned about aggravating the U.S. image in Latin America as a Yanqui bully and also feared a Soviet countermove against West Berlin—had warned agency officials that he would not fully intervene. As the invasion quickly bogged down at the swampy landing site, J.F.K. stunned Dulles and Bissell by standing his ground and refusing to escalate the assault.

And the story continues....JFK was murdered in a coup d'état a couple years later, lead by the US military/CIA. All because he would not go along with the bastards running the military-industrial complex who demanded war. Then, the Butcher of Vietnam put Dulles (whom JFK fired for the Bay of Pigs debacle) in charge of the Warren Commission. Too CRAZY!!! He also immediately raved up our involvement in Nam leading to another debacle, but this time with lots of dead American boys and wasted treasure.
And yet after all these lies, killings, and corruption, our military-industrial-government complex is as strong and influential as ever.
