1) ariel spying over Cuba produced pictures that showed missile silos being built in Cuba. The design of the silos made it clear they were designed for missiles, and it made no sense for Cuba to put in anything less than nuclear missiles there. Missiles they could not build themselves, so had to come from the Soviet Union.
2) Only minutes. A launch from the Soviet Union to the US only takes about 20 minutes. Depending on the range of the missiles put into the silos, warning time would have been anywhere from 3-10 minutes. Not enough time to verify that it was a launch, and not a detection system malfunction, forcing America to launch immediately, or risk losing its capacity to strike back.
3) A direct attack or invasion of Cuba would have forced the Soviet Union to respond in kind. The USSR simply could not abandon Cuba, without losing all credibility among its allies and vassal states. So they would likely have struck back at the US, probably in Europe. This would have dangerously escalated the tensions, and increased the probability of nuclear war. Other officials believed that a quick,determined strike would not only eliminate the immediate threat of missiles in Cuba, but possibly overthrow the regime and force the USSR to accept the situation. The idea of a naval blockade was a compromise position. A threat of force, but one that allowed the USSR to back off. After all, so long as the missiles were not put into the silos, they were no threat.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide any reference to the kind of meeting it is talking about or any reference at all, we can say that it refers to the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Robert Kennedy had meetings with USSR leaders to negotiate and avoid what was imminently coming, a war confrontation between the two superpowers. I think Robert Kennedy felt tense and nervous during the meeting because he had told Russian leader Khrushchev that the United States would slowly remove its missiles in Turkey, if the Soviet Union would remove its missiles from the Island of Cuba, that is 90 miles south the Florida peninsula. Those were tense and critic moments in which the world was on the brink of another world war.
