I doubt that the missiles had anything to do with 'protecting' Europe, but more to do with an American hubris and one-up-manship. As has been pointed out, these missiles were trained on cities in the USSR. Why is it not sauce for the goose as well as the gander? However, when the safety of the world was hanging by a thread, it was the USSR which acted reasonably.
That is a 'truth'.

You are truly clueless! You know only enough about the Cold War to be dangerous. 
Do you remember the Berlin Airlift? The Russian squashing of democracy in Hungary in 1956? Who do you think was applying the pressure to stop the Warsaw Pact's agression? And with what? Your revisionist history is not only wrong, it's laughable!
