Cuban Escalation

OTL
Cuba, an island nation located off the southern coast of the United States, and is allied with the Soviet Union, and the Cuban Missile Crisis was centered around the island and the nuclear missiles placed there by the Soviet Union, which was reaction to the positioning of American missiles in Italy and Turkey. The crisis ended after negotiations between the President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev and the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba and the secret removal of the American missiles in Turkey and Italy.

Point of Divergence
What if? What if negotiations between Kennedy and Krushchev broke down, after Krushchev refused to pull the missiles out of Cuba, due to the fear of removal from power and disgrace would be brought to the Soviet Union.
