Question

What is khrushchev's claim in the private note about soviet weapons in cuba?

Answer 1

It was a gamble, and most observes argue that khrushchev lost. in his memoirs, he claimed that the outcome of the missile crisis was a triumph of soviet foreign policy and a personal triumph, but few, even on the soviet side, have seen it that way. Cuba was perhaps a subsidiary consideration for khrushchev.
