 Cuban Missile Crisis ring a bell?

Oh yeah, that time the Russian dude pounded his shoe on the table. Hilarious.

...

Again, seriously?

 

Just shows your lack of understanding.  The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest America came to nuclear war with the Soviet Union.  Our military leaders were demanding action as they were preparing a naval blockade and airstrikes into Cuba all the while both sides had our nuclear missiles on standby.

Somehow, John F Kennedy saved us.

 

Yes, it shows my lack of understanding. JFK saved the world by ending a pissing contest that no one would have started because of assured mutual destruction.

That ranks way higher than the Great Depression, WWII, or the myriad of other problems this country has faced. Or, you know, the guys who actually formed this country. Washington, John Adams (who kept us out of a war with your country, I might add), and Thomas Jefferson ain't got shit on ol' Bullet Brain.
