Yes, it did.
This is where dodgy historical false comparisons and American / Russian exceptionalism falls down. Putinists, like American exceptionalists, think they’ve got a God given right to choose the security arrangements of their neighbors. No they don’t have that right.
Monroe doctrine. You said it.
USA (Batista) and USSR (Castro) interfering in Cuba was no more justifiable than Russia and NATO interfering in Ukraine. If you didn’t want Soviet nukes on Cuban soil, perhaps instead of backing the unelected Batista’s coup the USA should’ve backed the elected Socarrás.

The US taxpayer, past, present, and future, has been providing the security umbrella for Europe since the end WWII. It has enabled Europe to create generous welfare states and keep defense costs to a minimum. In fact, militarily, Europe is declining. Yet, economically and demographically, Europe is almost equivalent to the US. It is time Europe provide for its own defense.
The US is the world’s biggest debtor nation. We can no longer afford to be Uncle Sap borrowing more and more money to defend Europe.
