Did Fidel actually want to or just want to have them defensively?
I know Che was all about nuclear accelerationism though. I thought they disagreed.
Castro did send a message to Moscow indicating he was willing to sacrifice the island to nuke the US, but I think it's pretty clear he was just frustrated with the fact that the USSR and US weren't involving Cuban leadership enough in general, and was basically just trying to get Moscow's attention. At least that's what I remember, it's been a long time since I read about it though
Well not "sacrifice", but more defense as per the logic of mutually assured destruction. IE, If you nuke me, you suffer the consequences of also getting nuked, so don't you dare.
Yeah totally, I worded that weird
