Is Cuba a Threat?

The present and undisputed facts are: 1) Cuba is ruled by a Communist regime; 2) Communist Cuba is a member of the Moscow-dominated Communist bloc; 3) equipment from the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and East Germany is building up Cuba’s armament; 4) thousands of military specialists from Russia and other Communist nations have entered Cuba.

In order to justify his failure to change these facts, the President insists that even so Cuba “does not constitute a serious threat to any other part of this hemisphere.” He promises that “if at any time the Communist buildup were to endanger or interfere with our security in any way… then this country will do whatever must be done.”
