Since those IRBM's in Italy were the only nuclear strike capability of NATO, and JFK bargained them away, that led (as a major part, perhaps THE major part) to the JFK assassination.
The NATO IRBM's had been the brainchild and the major work of General Lauris Norstad, SACEUR of NATO. LBJ was pushing General Norstad to sit on the Warren Commission as revealed in the LBJ phone calls.
What most people don't hear about is that Germany dominated the NATO command on 11-22-63. And ex-Nazi's dominated the German Government on military matters. Added into this mix is Henry Kissinger who was (even then) the major expert on the diplomacy of Nuclear weapons in Europe. And Kissinger was an acolyte of the Rockefellers which family also (in some ways) dominated the JFK administration, especially in foreign policy matters.
Last of all, it should be mentioned that the first proven advance knowledge of the JFK assassination came from Santo Trafficante who revealed same in September, 1962.
I believe that the Cuban Missile Crisis was due to tacit collusion between JFK and Khrushchev, neither of whom wanted Germany to have any (even indirect) control over nukes. And to this day (11-19-2018) the Germans still don't have their fingers on nukes. Maybe JFK was the sacrificial lamb toward that goal and toward that end.

Eh, I'm not sure they were "NATO" missiles per se since the US maintained control over the nuclear warheads. I think you're really reaching with that last claim about Kennedy and Khrushchev "colluding" to create the missile crisis.
