NO, "negotiation" did not solve the crisis:

• The crisis was largely provoked by our placing nuclear missiles in #Turkey.
• The Soviets responded in a tit-for-tat placement of nuclear missiles in #Cuba.
• The solution was to remove our provocation; i.e., our missiles in Turkey.

There is NO relevance to #Putin's nuclear threats, because there was NO nuclear provocation from #Ukraine or the West; in fact, just the opposite. Putin's (empty) threats are entirely unprovoked.

The @nytimes reports that President Biden told a group of billionaires at a fundraising event last night:“We have not faced the prospect of #Armageddon since Kennedy and the #CubanMissileCrisis.” #nuclearwar 1/ 
Biden continued: “We are trying to figure out: What is Putin’s off ramp? Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself where he does not only lose face but significant power?” These are questions that Biden should ask himself. 2/
Having instigated the US-NATO proxy war, provided #Ukraine with unlimited weapons and money, pledged the reconquest of Crimea, and called for regime change in Russia, what is Biden's "off ramp"? How can he deescalate "where he does not only lose face but significant power?” 3/
(1/4) For those of you who believe what you read in the media, here is something to chew on: The reporter, #JacquesBaud, a retired Colonel in Swiss Intelligence who served in #Ukraine in #NATO training operations, is an impartial source. bit.ly/36cT8vg
(2/4) #USA, either out of arrogance or as tactic of war, does not wish its citizens to hear this kind of disturbing information, because they don’t respect the judgement of ordinary citizens to hear a realistic counternarrative. This has led to the #censorship we’re experiencing.
(3/4) Disconnect between us and #Russia is the most dangerous element in the world now. By rejecting any such info under the catch-all, guilt-denying misnomer of “Russian disinformation,” are we not allowing ourselves to be misled again, as in #Iraq, #Afghanistan, #Syria, etc.?

On Oct. 16, 1962 -- the first of the "Thirteen Days of October." President Kennedy was informed that a U-2 mission flown over W Cuba two days before had taken photos of Soviet nuclear missile sites.

McCone at first favored immediate air strikes but soon agreed that a quarantine -- combined with a deadline for withdrawing the missiles -- was the best option.
