You know I dont remember that part.

I remember Fidel allowing the USSR to park missles on the island, the US saw that as and aggressive act and reacted accordingly.

Fourtnatly at the time we had a very competent man at the helm.

But I do not remember Fidel 'urged' the USSR rather I think he was soiling his breeches.

What possible benefit to Fidel would that have been? Think about it.
