Placing defensive missiles of this type on Cuba would not be threatening at all. We Americans could simply destroy Russia completely and efficiently with Trident D-5's if we needed to. No ABM system in Cuba would stop that. And if this hypothetical Russian ABM system was deployed on Cuba and was of the size and scope of our current ABM plans, it wouldn't be able to stop many of our Minuteman land based ICBM's either (we have 500 of those active). Simply put, Putin is paranoid over nothing.
I agree with the others above. The USA is unable to stop a Russian nuclear strike, even with this system deployed.
