Also, human nature is the primary focus in the individual level of analysis. If we look closer into this, Kennedy and Khrushchev both had different ways of thinking, but at the end, they came to a resolution that a nuclear war wouldn’t benefit either side. Kennedy urged his people that a blockade would be the best way to resolve the crisis and if not, it would give them to come up with the best resolution. Sure enough, Khrushchev sent 2 messages. The first one was a peaceful agreement in which Russia would remove the missiles from Cuba if the US removed them from Turkey. The second was that Russia would attack if their people were harmed. Kennedy knew what he wanted, but he didn’t fully trust Russia. Kennedy didn’t want America to make the first strike mainly because America is a democracy; it isn’t a justifiable thing for us to do so he planned out carefully what needed to be done and executed the plan
