What Are the Alleged Chinese Radar Bases in Cuba?
Cuba's proximity to the United States makes these spy bases particularly strategic. They can intercept communications and monitor U.S. military movements, something that would be difficult to do directly from China.
How Do These Chinese Bases in Cuba Rekindle the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis?
In 1962, the Soviet Union deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of the United States.
However, this crisis must also be understood in the context of earlier tensions, including the presence of American nuclear missiles in Turkey, which directly bordered the former Soviet Union.
