This October, Cuba remembers the installation of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, a decision that triggered one of the worst crises of the so-called Cold War. For several days, the world was on the brink of a war with incalculable consequences, which showed the will of the Cuban people to defend their sovereignty at any cost.

On the subject of Mormon republican leanings and also my old friend Nikita Khrushchev. Let's take a break for a rare moment of combined Mormonposting and Sovietposting.

Here's Nikita Khrushchev petting a cow during his iconic 1959 visit to the United States. The balding gentleman with the dark suit and glasses standing next to him is LDS Apostle Ezra Taft Benson, who was also serving as Eisenhower's Secretary of Agriculture at the time. ETB was what I will academically refer to as an ardent anti-communist and what I might more pejoratively term a right-wing weirdo. He considered running for president as a John-Birch-society-sponsored third-party candidate with Strom Thurmond as VP in advance of the 1968 election, and then after that fell apart George Wallace asked him to be his VP candidate but LDS prophet David McKay basically forced ETB to say no, to give some idea of his political persuasion.

ETB was not keen on Khrushchev and felt that it was a mistake to invite him to the US at all, but his son Reed apparently took advantage of a car ride with a captive-audience Khrushchev to proselytize to him for forty-five minutes (though apparently Khrushchev argued back!) and later sent him and his family six copies of the Book of Mormon.
