Ummm....well I suppose thats one way of looking at it.

Like saying the battle of Midway was just a diversion so the Japanese could take the Allusion Islands.

I mean the facts are true, we did remove the Jupiter missiles, but calling it a victory for the USSR is a bit weak. Removing those missiles which were mostly redundant and not very effective was more of a face saving measure.

While Kennedy might be over rated as a president, this is not one of the reasons.

Edit:I'll add I knew about the Jupiter missiles since I was 15 taking American history in high school. Its not like its a cover up.
