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.

Cuba would argue that Soviet Missiles were not a direct threat to us. They would argue that they were placed there to defend against an American invasion. Cuba could make a case for that. Paul would say that they would be obliterated if they ever tried to use them.
