Whatever truth is, Russia must compensate the upheavel of the nuclear balance. The airfields in Cuba are nothing else but small counterweight on the opposite cup of scales. If AMD rockets in Poland are really intended to intercept Iranian ICBM, there is no reason for the US to get worried. The anti-missile project rearranges the architecture of balance, but leaves it's core the same as ten years ago.

nice try..lets take a look- in the 80s Reagan sent med range ball. missiles to to Europe....why then did the ussr not send some to cuba? Because they knew that would not float, its been settled since the 60’s......the abm missile shield is such a strawman..nice try though.
IF the ussr wish to put abms in cuba, I say be my guest, they will have as little impact as these would if placed were the ussr wants them now. Physics doesn’t respect political machinations, it is what it is, calculations of trajectories, courses of intercept etc.
But putting bombers that have zero defensive capability and are offensive weapons there, is a huge ratcheting up of the cold wear, which inho has existed for the last 4-5 years as soon as putins poorly crafted mask slipped.
