Would it be giving in to, or rewarding, the action?) • Order a blockade of Cuba until the missiles are removed (RFK) • Send a warning to Castro and Kruschev, and if the dismantling of the missile sites is not underway within 24 hours, order an air strike against the sites (CIA director) • *** “brinksmanship” • Order an air strike against the missile sites without any warning (Taylor- chairman, joint chief of staff)
