What if Cuba attacked US with those missiles?
At the time of the crisis none of the missiles with nuclear warheads that could reach US territory had yet been installed, so Cuba could not have attacked with them. However unknown to the US there were active short range missiles with nuclear warheads already installed, had Kennedy ordered the invasion of Cuba suggested by his generals Cuba would have defended itself by attacking the troops as they landed on Cuba's beaches with these short range missiles with nuclear warheads. The US was not prepared for this and the only likely response would have been an all out bombing of both Cuba and the USSR with strategic nuclear bombers, which would have triggered a retaliation by the USSR with their strategic nuclear bombers. It would have been total nuclear war between the US and USSR.
