Cuban Missile Crises By Philip Henes & Benson Chan

Dear President John F. Kennedy, Our U2 spy planes have spotted suspicious construction zones, in Cuba. They have been confirmed to be soviet nuclear launch sites. If we do not react soon, the threat of a nuclear attack on the USA is highly likely. The island is already fitted with a few defences. What are your orders, Mr President? The Secret Service 1 Nuke You have 1 new message Press 1 to reply Press 2 to ignore Press 3 to vaporise

Do Nothing Do nothing For: We still have greater nuclear power, and they might not dare to fire. Also, overreacting and starting a war would break world peace Against: The USSR have already lied about the warheads. If I were to do nothing, it’d be a sign of weakness Strategic Air Attack An air attack to destroy the nuclear bases For: We could swiftly destroy their missiles before they could be launched Against: There’s no guarantee that we can destroy all of the warheads in one strike. This attack could lead to a war, and the deployment of the remaining warheads. Also, a preliminary strike is immoral Invasion Send in American forces to attack Cuba by air and sea For: Directly attacking Cuba would definitely destroy all of the nuclear weapons, plus Fidel Castro himself. All our forces are already ready Against: This would certainly start a war between the USSR and us Diplomatic Pressure Negotiate with the USSR For: This way, no conflict Against: If we were to fail and back down, it would be a sign of weakness Blockade Block all Soviet ships from Cuba For: This way, no conflict Against: If we were to fail and back down, it would be a sign of weakness

Dear Kennedy My ships will not acknowledge the presence of your blockade, for there is no reason for you to try to halt something which doesn’t exist, therefore posing no threat to the United States. Your pal, Khrushchev Dear President John F. Kennedy, We have confirmed Khrushchev's statement. Their ships (including several warships and a submarine) are not showing nay signs of stopping their approach to our blockade. What are your orders sir? The secret service 1 Nuke You have 2 new messages Press 1 to proceed Press 2 to forget Press 3 to liquidate

Hold Steady Keep the ships on guard and on ceasefire For: The ships may stop before they reach our blockade Against: The soviets may perform a pre-emptive strike Allow Passage Let the soviet ships through For: It prevents all conflict Against: It’s a sign of surrender and weakness to give in to the soviets Threaten to Attack Cuba Send threats of attacking Cuba For: They could retreat, in fear of the destruction of their warheads Against: It could provoke them into a full attack Attack Sink all of the approaching ships For: We can stop the ships from attacking our blockade and transporting their cargo Against: The ships may return fire, and not all of them may sink. This could also greaten the tension between us

Dear President John F. Kennedy, The soviet ships seem to be stopping and turning away. It seems they are in retreat. The secret service Dear Kennedy I have only placed these weapons of mass destruction on Cuba for the safety of the Soviet Union. Since you are so desperate to for the removal of these nuclear warheads, I will consider that a possibility if you withdraw your blockade and guarantee a ceasefire from you. Your buddy, Khrushchev Dear President John F. Kennedy, Khrushchev has finally admitted the presence of nuclear missiles, which confirms all of our research. Will you comply to his demands? The secret service 1 Nuke You have 3 new messages Press 1 to think Press 2 to watch TV Press 3 to open fire

Agree Withdraw the blockade and call upon ceasefire on the USSR For: Will hopefully end this threat Against: Khrushchev did not promise to remove the warheads, and may not remove all of them. It’s also a sign of surrender Wait and See Do not reply or comply For: There could be surrender on the soviet side due to US pressure Against: The warhead production may continue Invade Cuba Send all forces to annihilate the soviet presence on Cuba, now that the threat is confirmed For: Guarantees the destruction of the warheads Against: Could spark further conflict

Dear Kennedy You have failed to comply to my first proposal, so I have made a new set. If you do not withdraw your nuclear warheads from Turkey, then I will not withdraw mine from Cuba. Decide quickly, I am losing patience. Your best friend, Khrushchev Dear President John F. Kennedy, One of our U2 planes was shot down today over Cuba. This is a direct assault on America, and should be dealt with swiftly and with force. The fate of the nation rests in your hands, Mr President. The secret service 1 Nuke You have new messages Press 1 to take action Press 2 to resign Press 3 to fart

Agree with Terms Withdraw all nuclear warheads from Turkey For: Could end peacefully Against: Yet again it isn’t guaranteed. This also removes our nuclear power against the soviets. Also a sign of cowardice Disagree with Terms Announce that either the earlier deal is accepted or a full scale war will follow For: Immense pressure on the soviets, with possible peaceful end Against: They could choose otherwise and launch all warheads and/or begin invasion

Dear Kennedy In order to eliminate as rapidly as possible the conflict which endangers the cause of peace, the Soviet government has given the order to dismantle the arms which you described as offensive and to crate and return them to the Soviet Union Your mate Khrushchev Dear President John F. Kennedy, Congratulations Mr President! The war has finally drawn to an end! Please prepare your victory speech for the public, and make it good! The secret service 1 Nuke You have various gifts and Messages! Press 1 to write a script Press 2 to eat it Press 3 to get drunk
