Why does Khrushchev want missiles removed from Cuba?
Khrushchev withdrew the missiles from Cuba to prevent World War III and because the US government assured him that they would remove their nuclear arsenal from Turkey. However, the latter part of this agreement was not publicized until much later.
Why did the US government want to remove soviet missiles in cuba?
For the same reason the USSR government wanted the US missiles in Turkey removed. They were seen as a threat and a provocation. Both the US and USSR got the missiles removed that they wanted removed (but the US wanted to pretend removing the missiles in Turkey had no connection to removing the missiles in Cuba for political reasons, and Khrushchev allowed this).
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.
Why did the soviet union want to place nuclear missiles in cube?
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.

Why did the US want the Soviet Union to take out missile launchers from cuba?
Because we had been on the verge of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union for a while. The U.S had tried to assassinate Castro (Cuba's leader) during the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy also said some things that made the Soviet Leader, Khrushchev angry. So, Castro started to buddy up to Khrushchev. The U.S had several military bases throughout the word and our nuclear weapons were all aimed at the Soviet Union but the Soviets didn't have a place to be able to readily attack the U.S. Khrushchev just needed "one place" so he offered to arm Cuba with missiles. Kennedy wanted the missiles out of Cuba to prevent nuclear war.
Why the Russian placed their missile in Cuban?
Turkey and Italy: The US had missiles in Turkey and Italy, which borders the Soviet Union, and it capable of strike Moscow. Placing missiles in Cuba would undoubtedly restore the balance of power. Politics view: after the American placed Nuclear warheads in Turkey, Khruschev had faced criticism from hard-liners within the Soviet Union that he was weak and appeasing the Americans. A message needed to be sent out that the USSR wasn't weak and not going to take the American bully any more than this. Strategic: Cuba is only 90 miles away from the US coastline and short / medium range missiles placed on the Island would be able to penetrate deep inside US territory, just like the american's missiles in Turkey. Helping an ally: Cuba had seen an abortive CIA backed attack at the Bay of Pigs and was perceived to be at risk of future attacks from the United States. Missiles would act as a deterrent against such bully attack. Berlin: Some historians have suggested that Khruschev wanted to secure the Soviet hold on Berlin. Placing missiles on Cuba would give him a better negotiating position. But! i think they were wrong. if the USSR want a better negotiating position why didn't they ask the west to get out of berlin in exchange of they getting out of Cubar then? infact they ask the US to get missiles out of Turkey.
