During the Cold War / the Cuban Missile Crisis:
In the face of nuclear war, Kennedy considered being the first to launch
a preemptive massive nuclear attack on the USSR. However, thanks to information
from the Soviet spy Oleg Penkovsky, it was learned that the construction
of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the USSR was only in the early stages,
and the US abandoned the attack.
