Answer 2

The correct answer is C) He said the USSR would not give in because the US was being unfair.

Khrushchev responded to President Kennedy's demands saying that the USSR would not give in because the US was being unfair.

We are talking about the tense moments between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missiles Crisis of October 1962. Indeed, Khrushchev sent a strong letter to Kennedy on October 24, 1962, stating that "What would it mean to agree to these demands? It would mean guiding oneself in one’s relations with other countries not by reason, but by submitting to arbitrariness. You are no longer appealing to reason, but wish to intimidate us."

Those were the difficult years of the Cold War in which the United States and the Soviet Union fought in the arms race and later on the space race. There were many moments were tensions were so high that the world was on the brink of another war.
