Cuba is very close to Florida. Any missile attack against the US that is launched from Cuba would arrive very rapidly and would allow very little time to deploy any anti-missile defenses. Hence, an attack coming from Cuba is potentially much more dangerous than an attack coming from Russia, which is very far from the US (not counting the proximity of Siberia to Alaska, which is of less strategic importance).

What Really Happened During the Cuban Missile Crisis - 2003 was released on: USA: 15 September 2003
Geography played a crucial role during the Cuban Missile Crisis as it determined the proximity of nuclear missiles to the United States. Cuba's location, just 90 miles from Florida, made it a strategic threat, allowing the Soviet Union to position missiles capable of striking major U.S. cities within minutes. The geography of the Caribbean also influenced military strategies and naval blockades, as the U.S. sought to prevent further Soviet shipments to Cuba. Overall, the geographical context heightened tensions and urgency in diplomatic negotiations.
