Cada caso da expanso comunista deve ter uma resposta:Retaliate instantly and by means of our choosing Tambm no caso de ataque limitado/reduzido, aplicar toda a fora do
potencial nuclear (para prevenir aces futuras nesse sentido) Possibilidade da escalada do conflito vertical (strategy of rapid
escalation) Um conflito ocasional podia-se transformar numa guerra com uso dearmas nucleares
O risco envolvido Desde o Outono 1949, a URSS uma potncia nuclear
em Agosto 1953, testada a bomba de hidrognio (bomba H, nos EUAdesde 1952)
1954: bombardeiros intercontinentais, com a capacidade de atingir oterritrio dos EUA via Plo de Norte e regressar
Mesmo assim, os EUA continuavam com a supremacia na quantidade de
carga nuclear e os meios de transporte

Additional sites not yet completed appear to be designed for
intermediate range ballistic missiles capable of traveling morethan twice as far-and thus capable of striking most of themajor cities in the Western Hemisphere, ranging as far northas Hudson Bay, Canada, and as far south as Lima, Peru. In
addition, jet bombers, capable of carrying nuclear weapons,are now being uncrated and assembled in Cuba, while thenecessary air bases are being prepared
The 1930's taught us a clear lesson: aggressive conduct, ifallowed to go unchecked and unchallenged, ultimately leadsto war. This nation is opposed to war. We are also true to ourword. Our unswerving objective, therefore, must be to
prevent the use of these missiles against this or any othercountry, and to secure their withdrawal or elimination fromthe Western Hemisphere.

Acting, therefore, in the defense of our own security and of the
entire Western Hemisphere, and under the authority entrusted tome by the Constitution as endorsed by the resolution of theCongress, I have directed that the following initial steps be takenimmediately:
First: To halt this offensive buildup, a strict quarantine on alloffensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba is being
initiated. All ships of any kind bound for Cuba from whatevernation or port will, if found to contain cargoes of offensiveweapons, be turned back. This quarantine will be extended, ifneeded, to other types of cargo and carriers. We are not at thistime, however, denying the necessities of life as the Sovietsattempted to do in their Berlin blockade of 1948.

Second: I have directed the continued and increased closesurveillance of Cuba and its military buildup. The foreign ministers
of the OAS, in their communiqu of October 6th, rejected secrecyon such matters in this hemisphere. Should these offensivemilitary preparations continue, thus increasing the threat to thehemisphere, further action will be justified. I have directed the
Armed Forces to prepare for any eventualities; and I trust that inthe interest of both the Cuban people and the Soviet technicians atthe sites, the hazards to all concerned of continuing this threat willbe recognized.
Third: It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclearmissile launched from Cuba against any nation in the WesternHemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the UnitedStates, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.
Fourth: As a necessary military precaution, I have reinforced ourbase at Guantanamo, evacuated today the dependents of ourpersonnel there, and ordered additional military units to be on a
standby alert basis.

Seventh and finally: I call upon Chairman Khrushchev to alt andeliminate this clandestine, reckless, and provocative threat toworld peace and to stable relations between our two nations. Icall upon him further to abandon this course of world domination,
and to join in an historic effort to end the perilous arms race andto transform the history of man. He has an opportunity now tomove the world back from the abyss of destruction by returning tohis government's own words that it had no need to station
missiles outside its own territory, and withdrawing these weaponsfrom Cuba- by refraining from any action which will widen ordeepen the present crisis- and then by participating in a searchfor peaceful and permanent solutions.

My fellow citizens: let no one doubt that this is a difficult anddangerous effort on which we have set out. No one canforesee precisely what course it will take or what costs orcasualties will be incurred. Many months of sacrifice andself-discipline lie ahead-months in which both our patience
and our strength will be tested-months in which manythreats and denunciations will keep us aware of ourdangers. But the greatest danger of all would be to donothing.
Our goal is not the victory of might, but the vindication ofright-not peace at the expense of freedom, but both
peace and freedom, here in this hemisphere, and, wehope, around the world. God willing, that goal will beachieved.
Thank you and good night.
