Those barbaric reds only understand force, especially that stupid pig Khruschkev, if you back down, they'll come for more and more. Truman backed down in China, now they're a bunch of reds. He didn't back down in Korea, now Korea is still democratic. They'll just keep going until they understand that if you hit, America hits back a thousand times harder, so we should hit now to teach them that lesson. Nuke Havana if need be, but whatever we do, the US should not back down. If Kennedy backs down now, expect Russian tanks rolling into West Berlin within a year, I guarantee it. Two years after that, into Bonn, and Paris, with Kennedy at the helm. Also, none of this would've happened if Nixon had won.
