History Repeats Itself?

Ponder the following:
  • 1962
  • Castro had recently declared Cuba a Socialist State
  • The USSR deploys nuclear weapons in Cuba
  • Right next door to the USA
  • Who aren't impressed
  • The tension mounts
  • Diplomacy prevails
  • The Soviets thankfully withdraw


Now ponder this:
  • 2007
  • Eastern Europe is recently democratised
  • The USA wishes to deploy a 'missile defence system' (a first-strike weapon) in Europe
  • Right next door to Russia
  • Who aren't impressed
  • Tension mounts...
