What Is The Similarities With The Korean War,the Cuban Missile Crisis, And Also The Vietnam War?

A misled public, sources of information that couldn't be revealed, embarrassing amounts of espionage, etc.
the three events really don't have much in common. The cuban missile crisis was the US saying "I see what you're doing! Stop it!" and culminated in the bay of pigs.
korea, on the other hand, was a traditional communist revolution happening to a group of people that I have personally seen successfully argue with brick walls about the placement of the door. Koreans are stubborn, and the chinese... Well, even after so many years of killing each other during the 'peoples revolution', there were still a lot of them, and so it was just a battle. Big infantry mess.
vietnam, last but not least, happened in part because the higher ups said "oh, they're communist? We can't let them do anything, then" and then they successively galvanized the rest of SE asia- burma, thailand, malaysia, the phillipines- against communism, when the real battle was actually a struggle for independence from french rule which became successful when organized by the communists- remember, before the vietnam war, vietnam was known as french indochina.
and so, the similarities? Deceipt, stifling beauracracy- roy boem's book "first SEAL" details how the nukes were found in the missile crisis, I recommend reading it- and an ability to quickly end all three conflicts quickly that was ignored by people who still think they did the right thing- and who knows, maybe they did, you can't say 'what if' because you never know what might have happened if something happened different. So I think the most they had in common was communist-vs-capitalist struggles where neither ideaology won and the local people in each place suffered more than was necessary.
