U.S. Lessons Crises can be managed Steel Will (“Eyeball to Eyeball”) ─ Secrecy ─ Small group with open discussion ─ Exclude and misinform Congress and public Steel Will (“Eyeball to Eyeball”) ─ Toughness ─ Resolve Superior Strength ─ Build up Military ─ Exercise Coercive Diplomacy

Problems with US Lessons - First Cut Crises cannot be managed Flexibility, not steel will, saved us Force or threat of force precipitated the crisis, made it more dangerous

US Misconstrues Soviet Motives Summit in Vienna Austria, June 1961 Berlin Wall Erected, August 1961

Jan. 3, 1961

Bay of Pigs The next day, 1,500 U.S. trained Cuban exiles landed on Cuba with weapons supplied by the United States.

Operation Anadyr In July 1962 the Soviet Union began to send ballistic missiles, other weapons and soldiers to Cuba. The build-up troubles US military planners, even as they conclude that ballistic missiles are not being installed.

New York Times October 23, 1961 . . .

Soviet Union responds by exploding a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb in the atmosphere, Oct 30, 1961 White House Statement

Problems with US Lessons - Second Cut Crisis management Groupthink and exclusion of information Steel will inflexibility and no negotiations; force becomes only alternative Coercive diplomacy military build-up; ignores factors such as patriotism

Soviet Lessons Crises cannot be managed Crises must be prevented Improve communications with the other superpower Achieve parity (equal military force) with US

President Kennedy’s American University Speech June 10, 1963

Cuban Lessons Neither superpower can be trusted Cuba must defend itself with asymmetric warfare Support revolution in Third World Strengthen military forces Intensify internal security

Castro’s Five Demands Cessation of the US economic embargo and US pressure on other countries to cut commercial links to Cuba; End US subversive activities against Cuba, including the “organization of invasions by mercenaries” and “infiltration of spies and saboteurs” Cease “piratical attacks” from bases in the United States and Puerto Rico End violations of Cuban airspace US withdrawal from Guantanamo Naval Base
