Why did the US feel it was okay to place missiles in Turkey but it was not okay for Russia to place missiles on Cuban ground?
We felt it was okay because we are who we are. A global power who feels it is acceptable to do whatever we feel like in the pursuit of "freedom". The missiles in Turkey were obsolete before the Cuban Missile Crisis began and President Kennedy had directed that they be removed. However the bureaucracy had not done that, creating the opportunity for the unflattering comparison. It is a matter of perspective and point of view. The Soviets would object to missiles in western Europe or in Turkey (first generation nuclear missiles placed there in 1949) as a provocation (much like the way current Russian leadership views the placement of missile defense technology in Poland & Czech Republic). Our policies in the post-WWII period were determined by the Truman Doctrine to contain communist expansion in Europe, but the Caribbean is our back yard, governed by our interests and the Monroe Doctrine. The placement of missiles in Cuba (after a failed attempt to overthrow Castro) was a surprise move, beyond what we would expect the Soviets to do in eastern Europe.

After the Bay of Pigs, Cuba needed protection and turned to the USSR. The USSR agreed to place nuclear missiles in Cuba and buy Cuba's sugar which America stopped buying due to the trade embargo. It wanted to place missiles in Cuba as it was only 90 miles away from American soil and the USA had missiles around 90 miles away in Turkey aimed at the USSR.
