Fact number 2: it was a non-direct war
In 1987, a private pilot flew a Cessna from Finland and landed in Red Square, near the Kremlin, pretty much just because he could. He flew straight through the Soviet’s ‘impenetrable’ air defence, who wanted to shoot the aircraft down multiple times, but never got the ok to do so because it was thought the aircraft was friendly. Quite a lot of the military brass was reprimanded for this. Moscow’s airport, Sheremetyevo has two terminals, 1 and 2. After this incident, some people refer to Red Square as Sheremetyevo 3.

If Stalin was responsible for 60 million deaths, then the USSR would have had a net population drop, not a net gain, which is the case if you look at population records. The only way that number makes sense is if you count people choosing to not have children due to lack of resources as “deaths”, which is a little ridiculous imo The same goes for Mao in China.
8:45 The letter from Kennedy to Khrushchev asks if the Pupniks are happy. Since the Pupniks were owned by the Kennedys, the letter should have been sent by Khrushchev to Kennedy, not Kennedy to Khrushchev. So the letter is backward.
My dad was in the military during the 70's and he was on a boat that monitored Soviet missile activity. But they also would follow around Soviet ships and pick up their trash to find Intel. And the Soviets would do the same.

I was around for all but six or seven years of the Cold War and yes, it was pretty insane with paranoia off-the-chart much of the time. It really was something you would have needed to experience. I mean, there was something called Starfish Prime, which consisted of detonating a nuke high up in the atmosphere and managed to blow out streetlights and mess up phone service throughout the Hawaiian Islands--and that was 900 miles away from the detonation point. Great move, guys.

Starship prime was project Argus experiment to see how highly charged particles would interact within the Van Allen belts to quote-unquote create electromagnetic shield around the planet.
Regarding fact #6, B-52's are equipped with Thermo-curtains. Which are aluminum coated fabric curtains, that would shield the crew from the nuclear flash.
I find it so hilarious how the US spent so much money on a cat, and how the guy in the video said "Why did the US detonate a bomb in space? Just to see what would happen of course."
For a time, the US nuclear launch code was 6 zeros to save time
It probably was said but one of the B-52 pilots that was able jump the crash had two parachute "failures" but was still able to recover, only to ask for help from one NC resident only to be arrested because they didn't believe a black man could be an officer or even a pilot.
