The Cold War

REPORT ABOUT THE CUBAN CRISIS TO MR.JFK

Mr. president,

At first we noticed lot´s of movements in the island of Cuba so the decision to investigate was taken and we have some evidences and photographs that our spy planes have taken in USSR bases of Cuba. In the picture we can see lot´s of tracks with missiles and fuel tanks to manke the missile erector work. This is very dangerous because only by pressing the "Red Button" this missiles would  be launched and get to south US in 10 min or to north in 20 min. That means that in less of 30 min 8 million of americans could die.

We have several choices to offer you, in our opinion we should try to negotiate with the USSR and try to make them remove the bases. If the don´t agree with us we could put a blockade around Cuba to make the missiles return by force. In the extreme case they attack the blockade and try to break it our answer would be very clear, invade Cuba.

The consequences of the blockade would be:

• An upset of Russians, this may create a more tensioned situation.
• The soviets could try to break the blockade producing a big conflict.
• The blockade is perfect and soviets return, leaving Cuba and removing their bases without creating any conflict.

The consequences of the invasion would be:

• Another upset of the Ruusians, which would create for sure an enormous armed conflict.
• The soviets would see our power and fear and they decide not to start another war.
• Cuba island is so well defended that our invasion fails, this is not what we want in any case because we wouldn´t win anything, only another conflict.

From you advisors team we hope you decide the best option.
