Americans,
my name is Yefgani Yeftashanko.

:34:15
I speak to you from Cuba.
:34:18
Rigid sentries shine tonight
in the gusting storm,

:34:21
a tobacconist carrying a
revolver prepares

:34:24
to leave for the harbor,
:34:26
a shoemaker cleans an old machine gun.
:34:29
A show girl from a cabaret
wearing army boots

:34:31
reports to a carpenter standing watch.
:34:35
America, where is your shame?
:34:40
In your holy hypocrisy
you have forced them

:34:43
to take arms while condemning them
for self-defense.

:34:48
You have lost your greatness,
you have gone blind,

:34:54
while Cuba, a small nation,
:34:56
finds its greatness in
the eye of the storm.

:35:00
The eleventh day of the
Missiles of October.

:35:05
Gentlemen, elements of
the medium-range missiles

:35:09
and surface to air systems
are now operational.

:35:13
The entire weapons complex
will be complete

:35:16
in a matter of days.
:35:19
The blockade hasn't had any effect.
:35:22
None.
:35:25
Bob, I want you to make preparations
to add oil,

:35:30
fuel, and lubricants to
the list of embargoed items.

:35:34
Right away, Mr. President.
:35:36
The missiles will be operational
:35:38
long before we squeeze them out of oil.
:35:46
Also we should, we should compile a list
:35:54
of all the Cuban doctors
in the Miami area
