Not to sound ignorant

You would describe the Cuban missile crisis as Kennedy coming close to tipping the world into nuclear war?

You could make a pretty strong argument that he did very well to stop it from happening.

And was labelled as a communist for doing so.

Not sure what the point of raking old ground is. You have a state here which survives on aid it receives from countries it is threatening. It gets away (literally) with murder and it develops weapons of mass destruction so that it can up the ante on its blackmail. Meanhile its people starve while the ruling family enjoys fabulous wealth.

Simple. It has to finish. they either live quietly within their means or they try and conquer countries to subjugate them in order to pay for their excesses. Since the second option is simply not going to happen they will have to be forced to backtrack. And if that means droppong nukes on them - always in response to their attacking first - then so be it.
