Sunday's Column. Hal compares war in Ukraine with Cuban Missile Crisis.
Yes, it's just that dangerous.
This coming Sunday, Hal’s “Of Thee I Sing 1776” column will discuss why the current war between Russia and Ukraine is as dangerous, and perhaps more so, than the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The column compares the Soviet Union’s Nikita Khrushchev with the Russian Federation’s Vladimir Putin and why Putin represents a far greater danger to the West. Hal also discusses why history will view the U.S.-led coalition supporting Ukraine to be as important as the American-led Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949.
