The President is still being indicted, the Government is still in turmoil, Russian " diplomats " were just expelled from pretty much every NATO country (even ours, surprisingly) so we may have just started the next cold war only this one is being fought with a guy who already has your browser history and all of your passwords. Of course Khrushchev was very much cut from the same cloth as our President, as noted by this summary of the " shoe-banging incident " at the UN: On 12 October, head of the Filipino delegation Lorenzo Sumulong referred to "the peoples of Eastern Europe and elsewhere which have been deprived of the free exercise of their civil and political rights and which have been swallowed up, so to speak, by the Soviet Union".
