So, if he was president back in the early 60’s, he wouldn’t have blockaded Cuba?

I would presume he wouldn’t. After all, Cuban hadn’t attacked us yet. He also didn’t want Reagan to put Pershing IIs in Europe.

I’m not sure we can say that — he may have perceived nuclear weapons in Cuba as a direct threat against us, and he IS for using military force to defend against direct threats.

That is true even though he would NOT support putting our missles in other countries to defend those other countries.
