AFAIK the last time a president made broadband speech on an actually executive situation was during the #CubanMissileCrisis by #JFK.
Cuban, US governments deny secret Chinese spy base in Cuba

Reminder. The US caused the so-called "#CubanMissileCrisis" all by itself.

We often take Christmas carols at face value. But at least one holiday favorite, “Do You Hear What I Hear,” contains more than what first meets the ear.

#EarwormOfTheDay finally #IWokeUpLikeThis with some #Christmas music - this somewhat extra but wonderful take on 'Do You Hear What I Hear' by Elphaba/Elsa herself, Idina Menzel:
The song dates from 1962, a yearning hope for #peace following the #CubanMissileCrisis.

Whatever Happened to the Cuban Missile Crisis?
by Stephen Schlesinger
Over the last few months, there has been a lot of loose talk from President Joseph Biden and others comparing the Ukrainian crisis with the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

In 1962, I was 4 years old, I was in the living room playing with my dad, and the tv was on. All of a sudden I saw warships on tv and I asked my dad what it was, the only answer He gave me was there might be a war and I started to play again as if it didn’t bother me. When I was about 12 years old I understood what was going on in 1962. Canada played a important part during that time by chasing Russian submarines. #cubanmissilecrisis #WWIII

I just realised it is the 59th anniversary of the shooting of President J.F.K. This was an absolutely terrible crime. The killer (s) were never caught. J.F.K found a solution to the Cuban blockade incident of 1962, and thankfully saved the world. I guess the good news is we didn’t get Nixon for almost 10 years. Imagine how he would have handled the Cuban Missile Crisis #jfk #presidentkennedy #cuba #cubanmissilecrisis #russia #moscow #washington #america #usa

These days mark the 60th anniversary of the #CubanMissileCrisis of 1962.
And unfortunately I have to say that the world was further along in terms of constructive conflict resolution then than it is today.
We are currently heading for a similar crisis with the #Russia #Ukraine #war and participation by #NATO - but currently without any prospect of a compromise.

I have just re-watched #ThirteenDays, the movie about the #CubanMissileCrisis, on the occasion of its 60th anniversary.
Unfortunately, again a very topical issue.

(4/4) Remember that, in the depths of the #CubanMissileCrisis of 1962, it was the desperate last-minute attempts of #JFK, #RFK, #NikitaKhrushchev, and Ambassador #AnatolyDobrynin to talk that prevented a possible nuclear apocalypse.

"One possibility... a sigh of relief that #civilization could survive... to announce that the U.S. would adhere to #international #law and remove any threat to invade #Cuba ; and to carry forward the withdrawal of the obsolete #missiles in #Turkey , proceeding as planned to upgrade the #nuclear #threat against the Soviet Union to a far greater one.. part.. of the global encirclement of #Russia... unthinkable..."

"about" may be a tad strong. "heavily influenced by" may be more appropriate
