In 1962, when the Cuban missile crisis occurred, the US had nuclear missiles in Turkey, which borders the then Soviet Union (and now Russia today). As part of the negotiations to end that crisis, the missiles were removed from Turkey for some time but then returned. Cuba does not border the US and there are no Russian missiles in any country that borders the US. Before Putin's move to place missiles in Belarus and before the invasion of Ukraine, there had been an expansion of NATO countries surrounding Russia and since the invasion, even more American nuclear missiles, close to Russia, capable of a decapitation strike on Moscow (seven minutes away). And, by the way, after Cuba's thwarting an invasion attempt in April 1961 at the Bay of Pigs and discovering American plans for a further massive US invasion of their country, they were concerned, to put it mildly.
Numerous coup operations conducted by the American CIA, in their acts to change heads of state to ones favorable to their oil and resources extraction corporations, starting with Iran (August 1953), Guatemala (1954), Chile (1973) and numerous others, created distrust. Anyone who thinks should be able to see that a trillion dollar a year arms industry, aggressive foreign policy and imperial war mentality, that the root of this invasion begins mainly in a push from an expansionist West.
