And of course Cuba would have been utterly destroyed in the exchange." Nuclear Blast If the missiles had remained, we would have fired them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims. – Che Guevara, November 1962. "My dream is to drop three atomic bombs on New York City – Raul –not Fidel—Castro, Nov. 1960.
