To elaborate on my earlier point in the light of your post, there's a school of thought that thinks that the crisis was created by the Soviets in an attempt to curry favor with the Chinese and draw US attention away from the Chinese grab of some disputed territory on the Indian border. I'm not in that school of thought since I believe that Sino/Soviet relations were so shitty that the Soviets would never had stuck their necks out for something like this - maybe when Stalin was alive, but not afterwards.
