• The crisis was largely provoked by our placing nuclear missiles in #Turkey.
• The Soviets responded in a tit-for-tat placement of nuclear missiles in #Cuba.
• The solution was to remove our provocation; i.e., our missiles in Turkey.

There is NO relevance to #Putin's nuclear threats, because there was NO nuclear provocation from #Ukraine or the West; in fact, just the opposite. Putin's (empty) threats are entirely unprovoked.
