Cuban Missile Crisis

I think once Cuba became alliances with Russia and Russia put nuclear missiles in Cuba that was when America began to believe things could get really dangerous. As a result of one missile fired to the US it could really destroy a large part of the country and thousands if not millions of lives would be lost. I think it's smart that the US put this "fake" bombs in Turkey because it probably made Russia a little more hesitant into shooting the missiles because they new that the United States could press a button and most of their country would be gone in a matter of minutes.
