Who said anything about attacking Russia? The US would put its diplomatic foot down like it has done time and time again, thus forcing Russia to relent in the towing of the submarine. The US can do this soley because it is the US.
Kapitan, standing on a submarine is different than researching them. I still trust the experts more than you.
Finally, the orders to the Foxtrots are irrelevant. Do you even know why the Russians wanted to put the missiles in Cuba? It was not just Turkey, but Germany and the whole of Europe as well. The USSR sought equality in missile placement, as its homeland was endangered from the European missiles. Cuban missiles would go "tit-for-tat" with the US. Yes, the Turkish placments were removed, but the European missiles remained. In this case, the Soviets did not get what they wanted.
