Even if the Soviet rockets in Cuba didn’t change too much the actual military situation of the moment, since the U.S. had 9 times more nukes and delivery capability than the USSR -- I think JFK was still right to make such a big deal about it. Times change - and so do weapons and military technologies. By now, Russia would have on Cuba hypersonic missiles, capable of hitting DC within a few minutes. We don’t need this. Would have been an enormous mistake to allow it. But, again - the same is true about nato in Ukraine. It would have been sort of like a permanent Cuban crisis. Extremely destabilizing - and for no good reason.
