The U.S. has intervened before to stop foreign powers from extending their influence in the Western Hemisphere, most notably during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The U.S. and the Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear war after the Soviets deployed nuclear-capable missiles to Cuba, prompting a U.S. Navy quarantine of the island.
The Soviets backed down and removed the missiles. A few months later, the U.S. quietly removed intermediate-range ballistic missiles from Turkey that the Soviets had complained about.
We love a bit of historical revisionism in our state department press release distributors, don’t we folks 😍
Aside from blaming the USSR when Amerika was the one who provoked it by placing missiles in Turkey, isn’t that basically what happened? I only know the basics so I’m probably missing something obvious
The US didn’t provoke it in Turkey, they provoked it in Cuba when they kept trying to overthrow Castro, eventually leading to the blatant Bay of Pigs military invasion. Only THEN did Cuba get nukes.
The US government were the one who forced Cubans to accept Soviet nuclear missiles after the US proved that Cuba need a stronger security against the US with the US’s Pig of Bay illegal invasion that was condemned by the international community. Contrary to the US belief that Cuba was under Soviet rule, Cuba actually have the power to resist the import of nuclear weapon although Cuba need to be Communist to gain the support of Soviet for its democracy and human rights against the US who restricts human rights to white people. The US could justify the invasion with the claim that it has the absolute authority in global politics, the unproven atrocities, and the belief that Castro had followed the Liberal’s redefinition of dictatorship that no Communist countries actually followed. The lack of support from the Cuban citizens for the invasion of Cuba proved that Castro has democratic support contrary to the fake history in the US school textbook, and the claim by the US Liberals that they need to establish puppet authotarian government rule in Cuba to spread ‘democracy’ is self-contradictory exposure that the conflict with Cuba was never about democracy. The US could claim that they need to takeover former European colonies by military coersion under the pretense that the non-Western European diaspora are too vulnerable to brainwashing by the hard working innovative successful evil Communist mastermind, but they need to explain why they do not allow the Communists the same excuse for fictionalized scenarios.

It’s amazing how the fact that US deployed missiles in Turkey first is virtually unknown in the west.

Yeah but the order is important detail especially when their readership is ignorant about it
that’s very true
The US didn’t provoke it in Turkey, they provoked it in Cuba when they kept trying to overthrow Castro, eventually leading to the blatant Bay of Pigs military invasion. Only THEN did Cuba get nukes.
true, that’s a glaring omission
