nah… cuban missle crisis was much closer. General Curtis LeMay was a war monger… ran Strat Air Command. i never realized it until reading a book or two and watching a few documentaries.

Cuban Missile Crisis

General LeMay conversed with President Kennedy at the Oval Office, White House in October 1962.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, LeMay clashed again with U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Defense Secretary McNamara, arguing that he should be allowed to bomb nuclear missile sites in Cuba. He opposed the naval blockade and, after the end of the crisis, suggested that Cuba be invaded anyway, even after the Soviets agreed to withdraw their missiles. Kennedy refused LeMay’s requests, and the naval blockade was successful.[31] --wikipedia

In fact Dr. Strangelove was a satirical movie based on this period of time.

To rebut early 1960s novels and Hollywood films like Fail-Safe and Dr. Strangelove, which raised questions about US control over nuclear weapons, the Air Force produced a documentary film, SAC Command Post, to demonstrate its responsiveness to presidential command and its tight control over nuclear weapons.[67] However, later academic research into declassified documents showed that U.S. military commanders had been given presidentially-authorized pre-delegation for the use of nuclear weapons during the early Cold War, showing ** that this aspect of the film’s plot was plausible.[68]

The characters of Buck Turgidson and Jack Ripper both satirize the real-life Gen. Curtis LeMay of the Strategic Air Command.[69]

A real life war monger had the authority and capability. Very scary.

I think there is the real possibility Ukraine attacks Russia with NATO provided weapons and intel. And I think Putin is less adverse to using nuclear weapons if his back is against the wall then the old Soviet leadership.

sounds plausible
