Do Nothing

Due to your unwillingness to act, the Soviet Union continues to build up the missile sites. On top of this, they send more missiles to the island knowing, now, that the United States will do nothing about it.

Your reaction seems to have proven Khrushchev's belief that you are a weak, little man. Khrushchev doesn't respect you, and now, as a result of your actions, he doesn't respect the United States.

As if that isn't bad enough, news of the missile build up reaches the American people. Not only do you look weak to Khrushchev, but you also look weak to the people that elected you. There is unrest and movements to impeach you.

While you are trying your best to prevent war, the American people demand action.

Get off your butt and do something!
