Which statement accurately describes soviet premier nikita khrushchev's reaction to the bay of pigs invasion? a. he believed that kennedy was a weak president and decided to place soviet missiles in cuba. b. he was concerned that castro might invade florida and removed soviet advisors from cuba. c. he feared that castro might assassinate kennedy and ordered soviet troops to arrest him. d. he wanted to avoid confrontation and asked to meet with kennedy to work out their differences.

A. He believed that Kennedy was a weak president and decided to place Soviet missiles in Cuba.

The Bay of Pigs invasion was unsuccessful and strengthened Castro's rule, so it strengthened Cuba's relationship with the Soviet Union. It would have made Kennedy look more like a failure and the Cuban Missile crisis did occur one year after the Bay of Pigs invasion. This suggests that A is the correct answer, as it was an embarrassment for Kennedy and Khrushchev did decide to place missiles on Cuba shortly after.
