You mean that it’s bad that the USA threatened to nuke Russia when Russia was putting missiles in Cuba, or when Russia invaded Ukraine when USA said they would put missiles in Ukraine? Was it bad the USA threatened nuclear war because Cuba wanted to defend itself from a belligerent neighbour? Russia backed off, should the US back off from Ukraine? Or “this is different”.
So you’re alright with the way the US treats Cuba then? The USA did make it very clear that they wouldn’t tolerate Warsaw Pact expansionism near their borders, and Cuba could have just surrendered after the Bay of Pigs invasion to avoid all the negative consequences that have resulted from Cuba’s decision to oppose the freedom loving USA.
“Don’t allow others to join your defense pact or we’ll demonstrate why it’s necessary in the first place.”
Perfectly sane logic. Nothing strange.
Cuba had the same thing happen to them in the 60’s.
Oh good you already understand why it’s Bad Actually™ then

Russia has made it very clear they don’t want NATO expansionism near its borders.
