Čovek koji je spasio svet

[Ghoul]

50 years ago today (October 27), at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, second-in-command Vasilli Arkhipov of the Soviet submarine B-59 refused to agree with his Captain's order to launch nuclear torpedos against US warships and  setting off what might well  have been a terminal superpower nuclear war.

The US had been dropping depth charges near the submarine in an attempt to force it to surface, unaware it was carrying nuclear arms. The Soviet officers, who had lost radio contact with Moscow, concluded that World War 3 had begun, and 2 of the officers agreed to 'blast the warships out of the water'. Arkhipov refused to agree - unanimous consent of 3 officers was required - and thanks to him, we are here to talk about it.

His story is finally being told - the BBC is airing a documentary on it.

Raise a glass to Vasilli Arkhipov - the Man Who Saved the World.

PS - The PBS documentary, 'The Man who Saved the World', is online here:

The documentary claims the facts of the matter were only 'recently' revealed. This is not quite true; the Boston Globe reported on it 10 years ago  in 2002:

The Wikipedia article was created in 2005, citing a 2004 book by Noam Chomsky:

A mogo je da pokori svet.

Sve su to obične laži.

obične baš i nisu...

Što se nije Paul Tibbets tako predomislio?

Inscenirali su Hladni rat, a Kenedija su ubili jer je bio suviše pametan pa je shvatio šta su smislili.

Pa su onda postavili ono libtardsko djubre Lindona Dzonsona. Samo da tako nije bilo.

Pre Baumgartnera je Geri Pauers skočio s ivice svemira i preživeo! 

A, kao, oborili ga Rusi na visini od 20 km. Pajz da nisu.

Još su izmislili da su Ruje ukrali planove za hidrogensku bombu. Kao, KGB je bio u stanju da to uradi. Pajz a nije 
Dali su im sve što je trebalo.
I mlazne motore za migove.

Nikad se Rusi i Ameri nisu direktno sukobili. Uvek su bili saveznici.

Sada to isto rade s Kinom. I Rusi i Ameri su Kinezima dali da prave najmodernije oružje, suhoje i apače, rakete za Mesec i nosače aviona i još koješta.
