Yep, Fidel was super-pissed when cornman pulled the missiles out without telling him (as was part of the deal with kennedy), and it strained Cuba-USSR relations for a while. Its hard to fault any party there tho, planetary nuclear annihalation avoided.
Thank you!
That was helpful. Yeah, it seems he didn't want preemptive strikes but defensive or retaliatory was more his style, which matches what I remembered.

I agree, as much as I dislike cornman, I can't really blame him either.
