IRL 15

News Story
From BBC
It connects to what we are studying in class because, as a class we just finished discussing the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and how it seemed we were doomed. This article relates because it shows how in 1960 Khrushchev was unpredictable and seem as irrational for freaking out on the UN.
It enhances what we've already learned in class because it essentially foreshadows events to come, seeing how unreasonable and irrational that he was, when he didn't get his way about the missiles being point at Turkey, it is a surprise that he and Kennedy were able to take a hot war and turn it back into a cold war again.
I don't see any really limitations besides the fact that it was by the British knowing their feelings towards the CCCP during the 1960s even with the close relationship the British and US had.
