Russian Military Base in Cuba, 1960s Script Rerun

Reports indicate Russia is planning to establish a military base in Cuba, which the hosts interpret as a "quid pro quo" for the U.S. stationing troops in Poland. They suggest the geopolitical "Matrix" is running a rerun of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Dvorak speculates that Vladimir Putin may use this "saber-rattling" to make President Obama look weak and assist Mitt Romney in the upcoming election.
