Cuba was the place where missles were located, not USSR.
Cuba could have easily told US to KMA. There were no USSR navy ships near Cuba.

What does it matter who backed down? The whole point was US was not going tolerate enemy weapons near it’s borders. Your hero Zelensky was pushing for NATO membership for years before Russia invaded. Russia is not going to tolerate NATO weapons on it border. And the homo-erotic dancer Zelensky still has not backed down.

So who has suffered? The Ukrainians. The country is now a living hell.

In a separate deal, which remained secret for more than twenty-five years, the United States also agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from Turkey. Although the Soviets removed their missiles from Cuba, they escalated the building of their military arsenal; the missile crisis was over, the arms race was not.

“Your hero Zelensky was pushing for NATO membership for years before Russia invaded”

And it was consistently opposed by Germany and France.

In 2008 Ukraine and Georgia applied to join NATO and were rejected by Germany and France for fear of “provoking Russia”

6 weeks after that rejection, Putin invaded Georgia.
