The Ukraine’s (and the west’s) demands are utterly insane, but others have addressed that better. Just gonna nitpick that the USSR only put missiles in Cuba as a response to the US having stationed missiles in Turkey, right on the Soviet’s doorstep. It should be called the ‘Turkish Missile Crisis’ or the ‘NATO Missile Crisis’ - it’s always the US starting this shit and then, like an abusive partner, gaslighting the world into accepting their narrative, painting themselves as the victim when they’re the aggressor.
