Davo, would you mind citing your sources por favor.
I'm not sure I can bring up the invasion plans, but Kruschev pounding his shoe on his desk in the UN in 1956 and shouting to the US delegation, "We will bury you." doesn't fill me with a sense of love and well wishes from the then Soviet delegation.
I do admit, there were a good number of US generals and other leaders (US and her allies) who felt like perhaps after getting done with Germany in WWII we should have continued east...
