You said the US would freak out if the Soviets gave money to Cuba. But the Soviets did give money.

The long range missiles in the 1960's are a separate issue from military aid. The aid I linked was from the 70's to 80's.

Even now the US still won't give Ukraine long range missiles.

Yeah, because when the US gave long range missiles to Italy and Turkey it led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
