I totally disagree. The U.S. almost went to war with Russia over it. The U.S. pretty much cut off Cuba from the world( the U.S. and its Alias) to try to strangle it into submission. It didn't work an to this day, U.S. hasn't changed its overall policy towards Cuba even though U.S.- Russian relations have totally changed.
What is the core of your argument? It sounds to me like:
1) US in Japan is good because U.S. is a pious nation.
2) USSR in Cuba is bad because Soviets are evil.
I'm saying:
1) China and Russia feel threatened with U.S. in Japan
2) U.S. felt threatened with Russia in Cuba.
