We would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those darn Canadian Defense Ministers

Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67 ...Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, ..."

Hellyer warned, "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning."

Tamburlaine the Great, Part I

by Christopher Marlowe

Prologue.

From jigging veins of rhyming mother-wits,
And such conceits as clownage keeps in pay,
We'll lead you to the stately tent of war,
Where you shall hear the Scythian Tamburlaine
Threatening the world with high astounding terms,
And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword.
View but his picture in this tragic glass,
And then applaud his fortunes as you please.

FOBS: McNamara's serious failure

“You [the Americans] do not have 50- or 100-megaton bombs; we have bombs more powerful than 100 megatons. We placed [cosmonauts] in space, and we can replace them with other loads that can be directed to any place on Earth.” - Khrushchev


"time from detection to impact could have been only a few seconds."
