:52:00
further action will be justified
:52:02
I have directed the Armed Forces
to prepare for any eventualities
:52:06
And third
:52:07
It shall be the policy of this nation
:52:10
to regard any nuclear missile
launched from Cuba
:52:12
against any nation in the
Western Hemisphere as an attack
:52:17
by the Soviet Union
on the United States
:52:19
requiring a full retaliatory response
upon the Soviet Union
:52:32
Good speech, Teddy
:52:34
I guess I get to keep my job
:52:39
No
:52:40
It was a really good speech
:52:42
I can't imagine what you did
with the air strikes version
:52:50
I wasn't able to write, Kenny
:52:54
It's kind of hard
to write the unthinkable
:52:57
I tried, I just...
:53:03
I couldn't
:53:09
We're getting the Soviet response
:53:11
It's coming in on the teletype
:53:14
"The community of nations recognizes"
:53:16
"the fundamental right
of freedom of the seas... "
:53:18
THis is horseshit
:53:21
I agree
:53:29
They don't know how to respond yet
:53:32
So now you're Kruschev
:53:35
What do you do?
:53:41
You run the blockade
:53:44
They'll run the blockade
:53:45
Which is what they appear to
be preparing to do, Mr. President
:53:49
We're tracking 26 ships
inbound for Cuba
:53:52
They show no sign of changing course
:53:54
The closest ships
the Gagarin and the Kimovsk
:53:57
will make the quarantine line
by this time tomorrow
