:::::What you've seen is precisely what I've stated above. But the known facts now are, this was not a confrontation of Kennedy & Khruschev eyeball to eyeball. This is what needs to be articulated, so we probably will have to consult some Soviet sources, Sergey Khruschev may be a good starting point. Two questions remain, (1) to what extent was this known or understood in US policymaking circles, and (2) if it was known, why have misperceptions of this nature persisted through subsequent Cold War negotiations and crises? (IOW, is this simply another example of US Intelligence failures which, in this case, persisted for decades; and if not, what purpose did disinformation serve?).
