The Cuban Missile Crisis

The Soviet Union and the US have just entered a missile crisis. In response to learning that the US had missiles that could reach the Soviet Union while the Soviet Union’s missiles were unable to reach the US, the Soviet government placed missiles in Cuba where the US was in the missiles’ range. The Cuban president, afraid of an invasion by the US, allowed missiles to be pointed at the US from within his country to honour their alliance with the Soviet Union. Sources have captured photographic evidence of the presence of the Soviet missiles in Cuba. After publicly announcing the situation to his people, President Kennedy quarantined the island. A letter has been sent to the US from the Soviet Union proposing that upon the US guarantee of surrender to invade Cuba, the missiles will be removed. The US received a second letter from the Soviet Union demanding the removal of US missiles from Turkey in return for the removal of their missiles from Cuba. President Kennedy ignored the second letter and agreed to the first letter after specifying additional negotiations with the Soviet Union. We wait for the negotiations to be honoured by both sides in order to prevent another large scale war.

As the government of the Soviet Union, it is our responsibility to protect our people. After acquiring the information that the US had missiles pointed at our people within range while our missiles would not have reached the US, we placed missiles in Cuba to show the US that they couldn’t attack our people without a counterattack. To prevent a major loss of lives not only in the US but more importantly of Soviet Union citizens, we sent a letter to the US president in hopes of negotiating a peaceful solution. The content of our first letter was that should the US government guarantee that they wouldn’t invade Cuba, we would remove the missiles that we have recently placed in Cuba. Another letter was sent shortly afterwards with new stipulations. In response, the US government agreed to the terms in our first letter after adding a few new terms of their own. We, the Soviet Union government, honored our side of the negotiations, and much to our relief, the US also came through on their side of the bargain. Our missiles have been removed from firing distance and the US has surrendered their attack on Cuba.
