    If you want an actual perspective read Cuba on the Brink: Castro, the Missile Crisis, and the Soviet Collapse. It's a transcript of the Havana conference held after the Soviet archives opened up. McNamara, Fidel, the whole gang was there for a really unique intelligence sharing. Some fun takeaways:

    • Soviet operators fully controlled the weapons and Khrushchev had to approve their use
    • In US history, there is a mythological missile gap that did not exist, and specifically an IRBM gap that the Soviets were going to use to supplant their ICBM gap when in fact most of the ordinance sent to Cuba was not IRBMs but tactical nuclear devices like atomic artillery to be used against a ground invasion

    Almost looks like this guy thought he was successfully switching accounts and sockpuppeting.
