The are directly below us. One reason we were feared with Cuba during the Cuba Missle Crisis, is that Cuba is closer to Washington DC than Texas is to Washington DC. That feared many politicians in the 60's.

∙ 12y agoThey didn't quarantine it they put a trade embargo on it so that nothing from the US could go into Cuba and nothing from Cuba could go into the US this is why Cuban cigars are illegal in the US after the reason that the embargo was implemented was because Fidel Castro made diplomatic relations with the USSR and became a communist state as a result
This next bit is opinion based in fact but I'll add it none the less, US actions during the cold war not only ruined our economy and rights as American citizens but also caused death and human injustice in countless other countries if you are interested in Cuba or actions of the US and the USSR during the cold war I encourage you to read and learn about the history behind it it is very interesting
