In October 1962, while Kennedy and Khrushchev faced off over missiles in Cuba, a 19-year-old Cuban double agent named Raúl Otero was feeding Soviet secrets to the CIA from inside the Soviet embassy in Havana. This episode tells the story of Otero's recruitment, his access to cable traffic between Moscow and Havana, and how his intelligence on the R-12 missile emplacements and nuclear warhead storage sites shaped ExComm's understanding of Soviet intentions. We explore his handler, a Cuban-American case officer named Carlos Fernández, and the risky face-to-face meetings in Havana bars. Otero's reports confirmed that Soviet forces in Cuba had tactical nuclear weapons and authority to use them without Moscow's approval — information that directly influenced Kennedy's decision to pursue a diplomatic solution. We also look at the aftermath: how Otero was eventually compromised by a KGB mole inside the CIA, his escape from Cuba, and his quiet life in Miami. A forgotten spy story that shifted the balance of the crisis. #CubanMissileCrisis #RaulOtero #DoubleAgent #CIA #Havana #SovietEmbassy #R12 #NuclearWarheads #ExComm #OperatsiyaAnadyr #ColdWarSpies #Espionage #History #FexingoHistory #1962 #Cuba #KGB #JohnFKennedy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
