What U.S. had been done with Hawaii?
Entire mexico gulf?
starting Gulf War for owning red sea?
And Pacific Ocean becomes U.S. domestic lake?
who brought up the world tension?
The US does not claim ownership over any part of the Gulf of Mexico that it doesn't blatantly have a right to, as this image makes very clear:

The southern tip of Texas across to the southern tip of Florida is extremely reasonable as a water claim.
Russia was just busy flying bombers 40 miles off the coast of California last week. Last time I checked, we haven't declared war on Russia for it. They regularly do the same thing with their navy in various ways, whether off the Atlantic or Pacific coast, or near Cuba / Florida waters.
The proper comparison to cuba is Star Wars type missile shields. And USSR/Russia has long been quite opposed to that, for good reason.
SLBMs were just being developed in the early 60s, and so Cuban-based missiles represented a novel, more credible first-strike threat given distance (~20 minutes flight time).
"Don't look at what we're doing over here, look at these other people over there."
It's equivalent to a direct admission that what China is doing is wrong and you know it. Presumably if you could actualy defend China's actions, you do so instead of changing the subject.
