It was a crisis specifically because of the nukes and one that came to an amicable agreeemnt benefitting both sides.
Putin is an idiot who is responsible for the growth of NATO.
15No don't you see, putin knew the Nordics were going to join NATO and that's why he invaded Ukraine! 4d chess! Now he has proof and was right to invade!
