Yes, but he should have followed through on the Bay of Pigs invasion. Having Soviet Nukes just a few miles from our shores was not acceptable and the Soviets were just trying to see what we would do. If you want to get technical, it was the Soviets who brought us to the brink of war by providing nukes to Cuba, we just responded in our own defense. The questioner has got it backwards in suggesting that JFK BROUGHT [is responsible for] the US and the Soviet Union to the "brink of nuclear war." The fact is that the Soviets were responsible. I generally agree with answer 1, but with exception to "...providing nukes to Cuba..." I don't think they provided them TO the Cubans. On the contrary, Cuba provided the Soviets with a base of operations 90 miles South of Key West, and the Soviets then IMPORTED the missiles, carriers, launch control systems, fueling systems, AND ALL THE PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THEM. I seriously doubt that the Cubans had anybody capable of handling either nuke or ICBM technology. Nobody should own nuclear weapons.....but if they must....let it be us!!! I figure it's all a "cosmic joke!" JFK's game of chicken was based on the incorrect CIA information that there were NO Nukes actually in Cuba--only missles. He was entirely wrong. A minor brain fart and we would all have been toast. Russia believed that missles in Cuba balanced out the US missles in Turkey and a dozen other places and thus gave them parity. What madness. People would have followed him into Hell.
