"If MAD was working, the missiles would never have been in Cuba to begin with."

Why did they put them in Cuba in the first place?

We had Jupiter missiles in Turkey. The technology of the day required closer basing for range reason. MAD doesn't exist when one side can lob missiles at you while the other can only hope to get bombers through your air defenses.

But, you knew that.
