The Soviet message to Fidel Castro in the Cuban Missile Crisis was emphatically not "Go ahead, Fidel, and invade wherever you want."Possible repercussions from the Soviets, especially with the cuban missile crisis fresh in everyone's mind?
Your initial post assumed Fidel Castro was crazy. Now you are assuming that Brezhnev et al were crazy. Brezhnev and the Politburo in Moscow are going to start World War III, not even to defend Cuba but to prevent the US from protecting other countries from an unprovoked Cuban invasion?!
