Cuban Missile Crisis

Hello, Good Afternoon!  My name is Anatoly Dobrynia.  I was born November 16, 1919.  I know some of you are wondering why you are reading this?  Well, I'm dead.  I died a little while ago, but my legacy lives on.  What legacy?  Well Im getting ready to tell you.  I am most well known for my role in geopolitics and the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Geopolitics is a term referring to policy and geography(policy and places).  Geopolitics  effects how we interact globally and locally.  It can have wonderful benefits or disastrous consquences.  This leads me to the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Krushev a fellow Soviet such as mself, set up missile basis in Cuba.  In return the President of  the United States at the time John F. Kennedy blockaded the Soviet ships that carried missiles as well as strategically placing them in Turkey and Italy.  Let me be clear, these were NOT ordinary missiles.  These were missiles with nuclear powwer.  The world was headed for World War 3!  The amount of life loss would be astronomical.  So I decided to step in.  I was Soviet Ambassador to the United States.  And although I love the Soviet Union and want to do was best for the Soviet people, I also have a good repoire with The United States.  While I let Krushev and Kennedy hash it out in the public spotlight, I secretly got on the phone with Kennedy's brother Robert Kennedy and said "Hey, buddy let's find a way to work this thing out-WITHOUT nucs!"  Robert Kennedy agreed.  I then met with henry Kissinger and soon after a treay was proposed.  The Anti-Ballistic missile treaty was passed and virtually ended the U.s Soviet nuclear arms race.  Both the U.S. and the Soviets had to give up different things.  The Soviets removed their missiles out of Cuba.  The U.S promised not to invade Cuba.  Also privately, Kennedy agreed to withdraw missiles from Turkey and Italy.


I lived a great life!  I was Soviet Ambassador to the United States under SIX U.S. Presidents-Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan!!  To stick around that long I guess you could say they thought my work was valuable!
