    A single country being socialist anywhere in the Americas is considered an existential threat by the USA. If there were military bases nearby, the US would plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon, no doubt.

    Even if we keep the somewhat misleading naming convention, that was Turkish Missile Crisis. It started when USA put missiles in Turkey.

    Also note that every single of those countries are only hostile to US because every one of them has been victim of decades long economical, military, political and propaganda aggression. In case of Russia and China it’s over a century by now.
