This is funny Nixon and kruchev are great leaders

Khrushchev does not have any sophistication or refinement of a suave politician. He behaves like a rustic clown. But, I must say this - this man is very frank....he cannot fake anything; if he laughs, it is a genuine loud and hearty guffaw; if he argues, he does it vehemently. He has no inhibitions whatsoever. This is both good and bad, for a nation's leader

Celebrating his Watergate Nixon got rid of the personality cult of Maoism. Somewhere in the darkest rooms of the White House he enjoyed the chinese newspapers: "Such a great leader can be a fraud? China is screaming!" Haldeman ß Ehrlichmann had to calm down visitors, asking: "Is this the devil under the Oval Office laughing at the congress?"
The affair started when some suspicious Quakers created a sort of very irascoulous and bloodthursdy squirrels, to hunt for cat´s testicles---

@harshvgaus You know that saying about the path to Hell and the best intentions? Khrushchev had the right attitude for his country, but as far as deStalinization went he refused to believe that there was any fault in the Soviet system itself, and therefore any reforms he tried to enact never went far enough to make lasting changes, and he never realized that a centralized market economy could never compete with a Western market economy in providing the right consumer goods to the public.

Nikita not predict what Leonid Brezhnev would do with the ussr
Nixon pulled the troops out of Vietnam, he started the war on cancer, he eased relations with the USSR and China.
I think he is given a hard time!

To be honest, Khrushchev was an Ukrainian peasant and it shows in his clownish manner of bluster and wild gesticulation. The Vice President outclassed his opponent, and carried himself with great dignity. The contrast could hardly be sharper.
