That photo of Nixon standing surrounded by Khrushchev and Brezhnev is a surprising find. As much as I don’t like the current leaders of those two nations (or their successor states), I think it would be much better to have them engage in a similar debate to put an end to the ongoing war/invasion, instead of trying to defeat and nuke each other to smithereens.

Yes it was amazing to learn that this debate happened in the midst of the cold war, just three years before the Cuban missile crisis.
