Question

Why is it Russia can not put missiles in Cuba but it's ok for the USA to put missiles in Poland?

Answer 1

I'm sure Russia would be able to put all the defensive missiles in Cuba it wanted, if the Americans were allowed in to observe like the Russians were in Poland.  

Ballistic nuclear missiles?  Not so much.

Answer 2

It would not be in the best interest of the world if Russia had missiles in Cuba.  

Answer 3

Because the USA is obviously stronger than Russia.

the USA stopped Russia in Cuba and sent them home in humiliation.  

Russia can not stop the USA. the USA rules

Answer 4

Basically because the US thinks it can do what it wants, and those who think it's to protect Poland from the Muslims, wake up and join the rest of us in the real world and stop believing everything your government and press tell you.

Answer 5

If you are talking about the Cuban missile crises, Kennedy put nukes into Turkey and the Soviets responded by putting nukes into Cuba.  Kennedy took the missiles out of Turkey and the Soviets took the missiles out of Cuba.  The missiles put in Poland are anti-aircraft missiles, such as the Patriot missile system, which can also shoot down large missiles.

Answer 6

Because the weapons we wish to deploy in Poland are DEFENSIVE and are meant to protect Poland and eastern Europe from the threat of a nuclear attack from an Islamofascist regime in the middle east. The system being installed is a missile shield that can shoot down incoming mssiles.

The weapons the Russians wish to deploy in Cuba are OFFENSIVE and meant for attack use only.

Would YOU want Russian nuclear weapons pointed at the USA to be 90 miles from our shores?

Answer 7

because the us doesn't have a history of wanting to invade and enslave cuba

Answer 8

Due to recent events I think the answer is blatantly obvious.
