Who says you need nukes to decimate cuba?
Pfff. Bay of pigs. That is mostly propaganda. A couple thousand angry exiled Cubans hardly makes a real attempt at invasion by the us.
And this is why this was a stupid idea. A deterrent only works as a deterrent if you can keep it. If the Russians come later and says I am taking my weapons back, now you are fucking defenseless, weak and angered a far more powerful adversary... This is why I said this was stupid, it only puts a target on cuba, it is not a long-term solution. It only worked for the brief period of times that the US was shitting their pants, as soon as they negociated the removal of the weapons, cuba is back to being defenseless, except now it just angered the most powerful nation in history.
No, it does not work like that.
Really? So Cuba was not free before? it needed Russia's nukes to become free? Does that also mean that now that it does not have the nukes it is back to not being free?

Yes, this is why there was a Bay of Pigs invasion and why the US continued a war against Cuba for decades.
And this is also why Castro wanted a deterrent.

And then JFK got into power and supported the Bay of Pigs invasion to get Batista back into power.
No, it does not work like that.
Cuba did that by declaring its freedom and defending its sovereignty.
