Despite all of the problems, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoli Antonov stated that Russia and the United States had not yet crossed the line into a nuclear conflict and warned of a replay of the Cuban missile crisis.
“In any case, we should not forget the lessons acquired during the Caribbean crisis, and I think we have not yet crossed the perilous threshold and the end of the nuclear confrontation,” Antonov continued in an article by the newspaper “Rossickaya Gazeta.”
“I’m hoping that Americans with good judgement would stand with me so that we can prevent a repeat of the combustible, hazardous scenario that occurred in the 1960s.
It is noteworthy that the “Caribbean crisis”, or what is known as the “Cuban missile crisis”, occurred between the Soviet Union and the United States of America in 1962, which made the specter of the outbreak of the nuclear war between the two great countries wander over the entire world.
A deal between Moscow and Washington that required the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba in exchange for the United States of America’s promise to remove its missiles from Italy, maintain the sanctity of Cuban lands, and refrain from meddling in its internal affairs marked the end of the “Caribbean crisis.”
The Russian envoy to Washington says that a nuclear war has not yet been imminent.
