What do you consider a legitimate source for that there were nuclear missiles in Cuba?

There were never nukes in Cuba. Please read some sources man its 2022

https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/cuban-missile-crisis#:~:text=During%20the%20Cuban%20Missile%20Crisis,90%20miles%20from%20U.S.%20shores.

and an excerpt from that which i find relevant:

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in a tense, 13-day political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles on Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. In a TV address on October 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy (1917-63) notified Americans about the presence of the missiles, explained his decision to enact a naval blockade around Cuba and made it clear the U.S. was prepared to use military force if necessary to neutralize this perceived threat to national security. Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

(i did not know this).



thats from 2015, and I note the title, can you elaborate what you are inferring?

That first statement, not sure how accurate it is and literally the first I heard of it. Can't find too many sources corroborating but who knows.

The nuke facilities that were being setup was the precursor that led to the cuban missile crises, that's why the blockade happened. It was either we invade Cuba or the Russian ships turn back home.

I read more than you I guess

various sites corroborate the assertion but this is a side issue, or reference point / comparison / to the current state of affairs re: Nato / Russia.
note that i use the word comparison but i accept that not all things compare equally.

Putin is probably trying to prevent a global investment pullout by shutting down trading.

If it were me, I would wait until the crash and buy it up at the discounted rate.

I'll take back what I said, but having read a few sources on this, none of them are well known/reputable imo. It's websites that literally look like they were put together by a 50 year old in his basement. So who knows, but if the USSR really did have that many nukes in Cuba, it's pretty astounding how little coverage it got and how little evidence there actually is for that and all of the focus being on the Cuban missile crisis. If true, you would think that would have been a massive headline at the time and we'd have volumes and tomes of commentary.
