I have a follow-up question regarding CMC: once you've played Cuban Missile Crisis, can your opponent later play another event card that improves the DEFCON status? This would open up the possiblility of coups later in the turn, although the wording of the CMC card sounds like it is pretty absolute for the rest of the turn.
Yes, DEFCON can be improved, but the auto-loss-if-coup from CMC persists (unless the influence is removed from Cuba/Turkey). Improving DEFCON would certainly open up coups later in the turn, for the player who played CMC against their opponent.
