it sounds like maxwell smart.

he wrote in his memoirs, had have they attacked my missiles and if i had any left and by the way, maxwelltold the president we cannot get them on if we go and we will get x% but there'll be 10% or one third left and we can't get it. they are going to fire them. what do we do? kennedy said if we are not going to allow situation where they attack us because then we have to attack them. we went on national television saying any attack on cuba is an attack of of the soviet union on us. >> host: that you use the word attack. requiring a full response. >> guest: what does that say? it turns out khrushchev was ready from his ends to act and this is the scary part of any kind of chain reaction and the word consequences has to be considered here. how do you attack khrushchev said if i have any missiles left even a couple of big ones and he's talking like a little kid, meaning intermediate-range missiles i was going to hit new york. i might not have killed everybody but i would kill billions of people and taught america what it's like to fight a war on its own territory. there again khrushchev is n
