"WE WILL BURY YOU !!!"

                       One of the deadliest images from my childhood is of Nikita Khrushcev at the United Nations banging his shoe upon his desk and bellowing to the U.S. 

                                                           "WE WILL BURY YOU !!!!" .  

 I'm in my 74th orbit of the Sun and this image is as brutally INTENSE as it was in 'Real Time' .    Here it was that Russia was Considered AN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD !!!!!  The Soviets were SUPERIOR in Space Age Technologies and had enough Nukes to OBLITERATE an entire Planet !!!!!!!!   They were to be FEARED and when you're a kid Russia SCARED THE FUCK OUT OF ALL OF US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  We grew up with the THREAT of Nuclear ANNIHILATION as "EVER PRESENT" each day and EVERY day .   You think that caused Trauma that was REPAIRABLE ?????????    

                   Please---------- think again .
