There must be more to that story. Kruschev was the same fellow who based nuclear missiles in Cuba and brought the whole world to within minutes of an all-out nuclear war, apparently for no other reason than to satify his ego.
Same man took them back. Gave Castro the ultimatum.

Stand down or I will let Mr. Kennedy bomb you.

It gets compicated from here, but there was an "Alliance of un-alligned nations" which Castro headed. The UN, USA, USSR. The Sandanista, and Chez Guevara, trouble in the Congo. And the all got angry at Castro.

Just what is it with politicians and so on, that they think they know what's best for us?

I really am glad I live on a farm out of town.
