> It doesn't lack substance.
Yes, it does. Nobody put missiles in Eastern Europe. That's a simple, irrefutable fact. Your salvo of similarly unsubstantiated Russian propaganda does not change that one bit.
> Cuba is not a blueprint. It's just a vaguely similar situation.
No, not even vaguely. The people who bring up the Cuban missile crisis are usually unaware that only nuclear missiles were removed from Cuba in the aftermath. Cuba did not become neutral or expel the Soviet military. Cuba remained allied with the USSR and continued to host a significant presence of Soviet conventional forces. If Cuba could host Soviet fighter jets less than 10 minutes from Miami for decades, then I don't see why Ukraine can't do the same.
