Did you know that JFK didn't go "eye to eye" with Khrushchev, make him blink and withdraw his missiles from Cuba? Most people don't, because that's the propaganda and the embedded myth.

We know EXACTLY what actually happened, because, like Nixon, JFK taped himself.

Khrushchev had put forward the offer to withdraw the missiles, if Kennedy would withdraw the missiles the US had in Turkey. The "peacenik" Adlai Stevenson had proposed the exact same thing and been pooh-poohed as too wimpy and "liberal"! But Kennedy JUMPED on the deal, over the objections of his closest advisers.

Kennedy made a secret deal with the Soviets.
