US yakhazikitsa malo odana ndi zipolopolo ku Romania omwe aku Russia akuwona ngati gawo lamilandu yoyamba yaku America. Tsopano US itha kuwombera mfuti ndi zida za nyukiliya ku Russia, ndiyeno zida zotsutsana ndi ballistic zitha kuwombera mivi yaku Russia kuwombera kumadzulo poyankha, poganiza kuti ndi aku Russia okha omwe angavutike ndi nkhondo ya zida za nyukiliya.

Koma, JFK adapitiliza, kugwirana mano kunali zomwe zidakwiyitsa "mbali inayo" ndikulowetsa aliyense pankhondo yowopsa ija. JFK adatiuza ife mu Meyi 1962, "Ndizowopsa momwe zinthu zidafanana mu 1914 ndi momwe ziliri" (1962). Ndikuopa kuti tabwerera komweko ku 2016. Onse aku US ndi NATO ndi Russia akumenya nkhondo ndikuchita zankhondo mbali zonse za malire a Russia - ku Baltic, Poland, Romania, Ukraine ndi nyanja ya Baltic kupita onetsani "zina" kuti sizofooka poyang'anizana ndiukali. Koma zochitika zankhondozi ndi ziwopsezo zikuyambitsa "mbali inayo" kuwonetsa kuti si ofooka ndipo ali okonzekera nkhondo - ngakhale nkhondo ya zida za nyukiliya.

Chitetezo chathu chokhacho ndi "chitetezo chogawana" cha tonsefe - osati ena a ife mopweteketsa chitetezo cha "enawo".
M'malo motumiza magulu ankhondo kumalire a Russia, titumizire nthumwi zochulukirapo monga nzika zathu ku Russia kuti tidziwe anthu aku Russia ndikuphunzira kuti tonse ndife banja limodzi laumunthu. Titha kupanga mtendere ndi kumvetsetsana pakati pa anthu athu.
Purezidenti Dwight Eisenhower nthawi ina adati, "Ndikufuna kukhulupirira kuti anthu padziko lapansi amafuna mtendere kwambiri kuti maboma achoke panjira ndi kuwalola kukhala nawo." Anthu aku America, anthu aku Russia, anthu aku Europe - anthu onse padziko lapansi - alibe chilichonse kapena chilichonse chomwe angataye ndi nkhondo, makamaka nkhondo ya zida za nyukiliya.
