      2. If the President launched a nuclear strike against Russia and wasn't being friendly about it, he never would've called Russia in the first place. An extension of Turgidson's fanatical surprise attack plan. He inadvertently calls out General Turgidson here.

      +Blue .Effigy The decision to put the camera right down at table-level, and shoot through the arms of the actors helps as well - despite being set in a really big room the scene is very claustrophobic. When it clicks to the wide shot at 03:46 and they dial up the reverb you suddenly realise how small the president is.

      Gorbachev wasn’t a big drinker, at least in a Russian perspective. Neither was Kruschev. They both drank, just not a ton compared to the others. Yeltsin definitely had drinking issues, but so did several of the Soviet General Secretaries/Premiers. Brezhnev was a renowned piss tank, just as bad as Stalin, perhaps even worse. Andropov and Chernenko also liked to partake in vodka, which is partially why they all died younger than normal (in perspective).
      Russia (and the Soviet Union) and her republics always had and still have a serious alcohol problem, especially in regards to vodka. There are a few interesting documentaries on it and I recommend viewing them. And it goes back a long, long ways.

What is like is we are born with.the gun pointed at our head. Do we ever eve.n see it. I think it’s a. Einstein quote that goes something like: “Man can be expected to walk a tight rope from time to time but now we must walk it for all time. Because although I cannot tell you what weapons will be used in WWIII I can tell you that WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
