That would be n u c l e a r (nook-lee-are), and it stems from world war2 when the Russians flooding into Berlin in an attempt to take it over from the other Allied countries. Only by air-lifting food and supplies into Germany every day, were the Russians stopped. They created a new nation out of what they already occupied, which was East Germany.

The Russians developed nuclear weapons a short time after world war 2, and threatened to use them on us, the US. Russia's premier in the early 1960s proclaimed that the Russians would 'bury' the US - it was assumed that he meant literally "bury" by the use of nuclear missiles. A few missiles could wipe out the entire United States . . . that was a real fear, and is why the US was afraid of Russia (USSR, actually) having nuclear weapons.
