It's hardly unprecedented. The USA felt forced into an aggressive response to the Soviets putting missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It was the other way, the "Cuban" missile crisis happened when USA wasn't happy when USSR responded in kind to USA placing missiles in Turkey. So it should be called "Turkish missile crisis" and really "USA missile crisis".
Just the western popular propaganda conveniently omits who was the instigator of entire issue, but it's not that hard to find.

So it was Soviet plan to start the aggression? Is it the same with Finland? When can we expect Putin to invade it?

I don't get it, what do you mean?

Read the message you were replying to. I asked specifically how do you force a country to invade a other country (that is not yours). You told about Cuba, so naturally I wanted to confirm if you mean the situation was caused by desire of Soviets to start the aggression.
