I am not sure where you are getting your facts. To say the USSR had more advanced and better capabilities than the US in the 1960's is plain false. I have read extensively about the military side and have several books at home I re-read from time to time. I believe you need to do more true research. As a brief overview on US / USSR Nuclear Capabilities for the time in question, read this:

Additionally, I printed out this document and have read it a few times. It does make for interesting reading and can give a clear and factual basis for the discussion:

The USSR had 700 IRBMs and a a two-to-one advantage in conventional ground forces. The US had more ICBMs. Bombers on both sides would have had a negligible success rate.

I am not sure if you are answering your own question or not.
Conventional forces are irrelevant to the discussion about MAD.
ScrewballA few of the major cities within range of NATO delivery systems including Moscow would have been lost but the US was not capable of MAD in 1962.
This is a direct quote describing the Nuclear Triad:
"By the time of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, both the United States and the Soviet Union had developed the capability of launching a nuclear-tipped missile from a submerged submarine, which completed the third leg of the nuclear triad weapons strategy necessary to fully implement the MAD doctrine. Having a three-branched nuclear capability eliminated the possibility that an enemy could destroy all of a nation's nuclear forces in a first-strike attack; this, in turn, ensured the credible threat of a devastating retaliatory strike against the aggressor, increasing a nation's nuclear deterrence."

we should be able to look at the successes that Castro had (literacy, health care, woman's rights) without lionizing him to the point of ignoring the complete breakdown of civil society and suppression of opposition that he created
we should be able to admit that some Cubans in Miami are entirely justified in their hatred of Castro, while others were partially culpable for the situation in the country as the elites before him
nuance should be possible

people talking about politics doesn't preclude others from venting their anger, so if you're only interested in those kinds of posts then there's no real problem is there
on an unrelated note i'm kinda pissed that trump's views on climate change are utterly retarded and there's pretty much nothing anyone can do about it at this point, he's going to defund nasa's research and basically give the middle finger to science

One of my roommates is such a fucking scumbag and I'm honestly getting sick of him thinking he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He invites random guys over to play video games but often don't leave until it's about 2 in the morning. It's also a common thing for them to end up smoking the devil's lettuce and yell and make a lot of racket. I don't mind it that much but when I'm trying to study or get some shut eye, it really gets on my nerves.
My room also backs up to the living room where they usually camp out so I don't have much else of an option for a place to get away from a lot of it. I also don't have any nearby friends that I can just get away to so I can get some peace and quiet, so all of this is incredibly frustrating for me. I may be extra critical of this stuff because I have had a headache the entire day but this alongside waking up to what can only be described as a reeking smell of weed and/or cigs for a decent bit most of the semester has gotten on my nerves and I'm sick and tired of it.
I really want to include a picture of the dog that we got this semester because honestly he keeps me spirits high sometimes when they're down, but I don't have one. I might edit this later if I can get a picture of him

More often than not it's during the week and late at night, and I have morning classes that I struggle to wake up for, even with an alarm clock. I'd love to do that, and probably should do it more often, but I've had to start studying for finals so I'm not cramming the night before. I also don't have any place close by to go to. The campus library may be a short drive away, but I'm a bit more productive in my room, given that I decide to focus on that one task at hand.
Also the dog isn't mine. It's my roommates unfortunately. And when he's at class, he sometimes goes over to his girlfriend's place to stay with her dogs until he gets back. Thanks for the suggestion though
