Cuba was a threat to the United States during the Cold War with the Soviet Union because Cuba was the closest communist country to our borders and ally to the U.S.S.R. It was feared that the Soviet Union could launch a nuclear missile attack on the U.S. from Cuba, or use the island for a ground invasion of the mainland.
No democratic nation wants a communism country so close to them but the US were concerned, not worried. Fidel Castro is the Cuban prime minister and first secretary of the Communist party of Cuba trasmorming the island into the first communist state in the Western Hemisphere.
The United States and the NATO alliance no longer sees communism as any sort of threat. The military power of the USSR, which truely was not a communist State, was deemed as a threat. This theat ended with the collapse of the USSR and of "communism" in its former empire. The only major power that calls itself "communist" is China. China has made policies that has leaned more towards a free market society. This has happened over the last decade or so. China remains a Dictatorship of the Communist Poliburo, however it is not a threat to the world at all.
