One other little tidbit. Khrushchev had a summit with Mao, in 1957, as it was revealed that Russia had ICBMs and the Bomb.
Mao pressed for the USSR to hit the US with nukes as soon as possible, since even with 1.4 billion people dead, half the population of China, it would be the Final Victory of Marxism.
Khrushchev started rethinking his support for China. He had literally handed Mao the plans and personnel to build a Chinese atomic bomb, and short range R-2 missiles for the Chinese to copy, even going so far as to have Russian experts suggest the locations for Lop Nor, the Chinese atomic test site, and the missile test area at Shijiedu.
The Russians started reducing their support for China, soon after. Mao was just too crazy.

That kwazy kommunist, set off one atomic bomb and 45 minutes later he wants to set off another one, lol
Seriously, Khrushchev may have gotten an early inkling about how Red China (remember when political correctness didn't have to be adhered to, and we called them 'RED' because they WERE?) could end up being a threat to the Soviet Union, a fear born out years later with the border skirmishes between Soviet and Communist Chinese troops in 1969.
Some other historical 'gems' uttered by the dirtbag Cuban Communists reveal their darkened and damned souls for all to see, who have the eyes to see:
Of course I knew the missiles were nuclear armed, and that is precisely WHY I urged Khrushchev to launch them. And of course Cuba would have been utterly destroyed in the exchange.

"If the missiles had remained, we would have fired them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims.
~ Che Guevara - 1962
My dream is to drop three Atomic Bombs on New York City
~ Raul Castro - 1960
Che is dead, but Fidel and Raul are Obama's new buddies. I'll bet Barky never even heard of these quotes, or if he did, it just warmed the cockles of his heart, as he realized "hey, those Castro brothers are my kinda people!"
That depraved Kenyan sack o' sh*t.
