here we have a unique case of a maoist calling cuba a "banana republic" of the soviet union because it received aid from it

    That take was so wack that I almost starting thinking about it seriously. But real question: Was the deployment of soviet missiles in Cuba a necessity? It seems like it was, mainly due to the - alarmingly re-emergent - desire of American empire to revert to Batista-Land (and you know, the whole Bay of Police Officers thing).

      I think it was both a way to defend cuba from US agression and to have a responce to US missiles in turkey

      Every socialist country should have nukes until no more capitalist states have them.

      Cuba actually wanted the missiles to defend. People here have been railing against the US military bases for decades but noooope.
