I would suggest you start by admitting you know that the entirety of the South China Sea is not Chinese territory, as the Gulf of Mexico and bearing sea is not the US'
That's a funny way of saying "covertly placed nuclear missiles in range to attempt a decapitating first strike" which is especially weird because you said we're done being dense, I guess you'd be the expert in "rules for thee but not for me"
Ah the nice retcon of history. Cuba missiles were only placed as only covert first strike weapons, while being invaded, having wide spread US state sponsored terrorism, and direct evidence that the US would further esclate soon. Not for a retaliatory strike against expected extreme American aggression- but for covert first strike.
I think youre better off referring to actual "covertly placed nuclear missiles in range to attempt a decapitating first strike" in deployed in Turkey.
We have nukes in Turkey, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Italy. All of which are within easy first strike distance of Russia. Especially Turkey. And that's just the ones we know of. I have no doubt there are others we haven't told the public about.
Yet when Russia tried to get nukes in Cuba for the same reason, you're claiming it was definitely for a first strike. The Russians said that the nukes in Cuba were not for a first strike, just like NATO does with the nukes in Turkey. Why do you believe NATO and not Russia? Only one side of the cold war had EVER used a nuclear first strike, and it wasn't the Russians...
