Octobet, 1962 U-2's flying over Cuba take aeria photo's of the Russians installing intermmediate range missiles with Nuclear warheads. Pointed at Washington and other main Eastern Seaboard US Cities. Kennedy has two options. Airstrike the Cubans back to the stoneage or diplomatic disscussions. The caption does not mean that I support the airstrike but it does send another message to the Russians. Luckly for all of us, that means you too on a little island in the Pacific somewhere (the lovely wind would have brought you the world wide fallout too ~ eventually) That did not happen. Kruschev grabbed the reins of an uncertain USSR and we side stepped Mutually Assure Self Destruction.
Whew~ But what if we didn't.
Ok, i'm going to try and stay in side the box but here goes.
on October 24th, 1962 after disscussing the situation and receiving a complete denial from the Soviets Kennedy authorizes an airstrike of Cuba. (First, he read his book about someone standing up to the Germans to avoid WWII and thinks I can stand up to Kruschev). Military bases around the world are put on full alert as no less than 50 - 6 engine B-52 bombers pummel Cuba with fighter escorts. The Russians repond on the 25th by breakin down the Berlin wall underneath Russian Tanks in an advance that completely surprise the Americans there.
The Russian claim Western Berlin and Russian attacks in North and South Germany threaten the entire American Position in Germany. They withdraw and hold just at the French border with French and British troops a wait a further advance. With Many US airbases being evacuated the USSR capture many planes, secret orders, and technology intact. The Russian Airforce propares for raids into French air space and the Infantry and Tank Divisions Mass in Western Germany. Just as the Soviet Tanks begin the assualt, 4 nuclear explosions ripp the western side of the Ruhr Valley on the Night of the 29th of October. 15 Russian Tank Divisions evaporate. Kennedy waits to hear from SAC about any Russian ICBMs being launched from the Ukraine toward France. Spy's in Kiev relay that the executive order from the Highest Power has been given and launches will begin in 20 mins after fueling. Kennedy orders flights that are at their failsafe points to attack the Russian Nuclear Facilities inside USSR.
The Payloads hit the Missiles in Ukraine but Missile from Georgia are launched before SAC can neutralize them.
The French take no less than 30 nuclear missiles each with a payload compared to 250 megton's worth of TNT. Paris ceases to exist. England with draws what's left from France and proclaims that it will not harbor any American if it can avoid nuclear strikes. Russia Aggrees and lauches it's entire airforce to knockout American fleets operating in the Mediterranean, North Sea, the Atlantic, and the English channel. Two US taskforces are completely wiped out and the survivors limp back to Annapolis.
The Russian ships deferred from Cuba and still carrying Missiles docked and unloaded in the (Ironically) Galapagos Islands. Without word from Moscow but being informed of the world events Via CNN they launch their Missiles againts Washington, New York, Cleveland (that's where i'm from), Chicago, Detroit, San Fransico, Los Angeles, and Many more.
While the nukes are going off SAC recieves it's final order to the Planes already in the air "Finish off all targets within the Soviet Union, and land where deemed appropriate, USA has been annihilated"
And eventually that dood living on a little island in the Pacific takes a deep breathe and the Nuclear Fallout turns him into to a pile of bubbling liquid. I told you he wouldn't be safe. The End.
So, what do you think?
It could have happened!
