“US initiated Cuban missile crises IN SPITE of Cuba being 90 miles away separated by deep ocean water. Russia has no such luxury.”

I’m afraid the issue here is your historical illiteracy. You simply don’t understand the reasons we wouldn’t tolerate missile in Cuba were dependent on the technological limitations of nuclear technology at the time, limitations which no longer exist, and therefore, the situation is completely irrelevant today.

To put it simply, Russia wanted to put missiles in Cuba because AT THAT TIME they could not reliably strike the interior of the US with their nuclear weapons based in the Eastern hemisphere. That situation doesn’t exist anymore, and hasn’t for many decades. Both Russia and the USA can target any city in either country without any need to base our missiles in any 3rd-party country at all.

So perhaps you should go and read at least a book or two about the relevant facts before making a silly attempt to call someone “low IQ” because of your failure to grasp the issues at hand.

You just proved again, your IQ needs to be improved.
For the LAST TIME, the main point about Cuban missile crisis was, a super-power does not like enemy weapons close to it’s border. Mexico has played it very smart. Mexico never tried to get in bed with enemy camp of USA. Result is Mexico has much better economic levels than during Cuban missile crisis. Ukraine’s home erotic dancer Zelensky pushed for NATO membership, and the hapless Ukrainians are paying the price.
