A nuclear missile launched from Cuba could reach Saginaw, Michigan, in approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the specific type of missile and its trajectory. The distance from Cuba to Saginaw is about 1,100 miles, and modern intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) travel at speeds exceeding 3,000 miles per hour. Therefore, the time frame for such a missile to cover that distance would be relatively short.
The Cuban missile crisis came to and end because Kennedy and Khrushchev made an agreement. In the agreement it stated that if Kennedy were to remove its naval blockade around Cuba and if it removes its missile bases in Turkey, Khrushchev would remove his missile bases from Cuba.
Cuba
Nikita Kruschev was the Soviet leader who had missile sites built in Cuba.
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).
there never was a blockade of cuba, if there was a blockade it would probably started a nuclear war.
What direction would you travel if you went from Cuba to Panama?
Castro and JFK
You would go in a northwest direction to get from Brazil's capital of Bras
Russia would pull the missiles out of Cuba.
Kennedy prevented completion of missile bases in Cuba by approving a naval blockade. This in turn stopped supplies from making it to Cuba.
He ordered a naval blockade of Cuba.
