Diplomatic Crossroads: Resolutions Under Debate in the Cuban Missile Crisis

As the world is on the brink of what could be World War III, solutions are being discussed by the presidents of different countries to defuse the tension between the two world superpowers, the USA and the USSR. 

As a part of the ongoing discussions, the USSR and Cuba want West Germany to have no nuclear weapons and have the disarmament be monitored by the United Nations. This amendment was accepted by all the presidents attending the conference. The other solutions being discussed include the USSR removing all nukes from Cuba, the USA removing all nukes from Turkey and ending all sea blockades from Cuba. 

Further, the  USSR was asked to remove 60% of troops from Cuba. The USA was asked to guarantee at least 20 years of non-aggression towards Cuba to improve their relations in return for the USSR not providing any support to Cuba’s military for the next 20 years. 

President John. F. Kennedy has agreed to some of the above solutions provided for example removing nukes from Turkey, in return for USSR removing nukes Cuba. However, stalemate still continues with respect to the removal of the sea blockade as the  US president feels that Cuba and the USSR may plan a covert attack on them. There has been a call for a peaceful diplomatic meeting between the US, the Soviet Union and Cuba to discuss security concerns.  

While the peace talks are still ongoing and a consensus has still not been reached by the countries to end this conflict, one does see a positive effort being made to resolve the complex issues.
