While in Jr. High School, my Social Studies teacher told the class that Nikitak Khrushchev said (and he was reading from a newspaper) that "We will bury you from within". That was such a strong comment that I still remember it some 50+ years later. I am including a quote from Wikipedia that may or may not be revisionist history:
"On another occasion, Khrushchev said in reference to capitalism, "Мы вас похороним!" (My vas pokhoronim!), translated to "We will bury you". This phrase, ambiguous both in the English language and in the Russian language, was interpreted in several ways. Later, he would refer back to the comment and state, "I once got in trouble for saying, 'We will bury you'. Of course, we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you".[cite this quote]
Since most people nowadays do not know their history, we are heading towards Nikitas prophecy.

What did khrushchev do in support of fidel Castro?
There were Letters to Nikita Khrushchev from Fidel Castro regarding defending Cuban air space and Letters to Fidel Castro from Nikita Khrushchev advising him to remain firm against US aggression but before all this happened, Nikita Khrushchev had just made a decision that would help ensure that the lives of Fidel Castro and McGeorge Bundy, the future national security adviser of a future president, John F.

What did Nikita Khrushchev do after he became friends with Fidel Castro?
I don't think you could call Khrushchev and Castro friends. More like allies with a common enemy. Khrushchev would have been the superior of the two as the leader of the Soviet Union and I think he would have looked upon Castro as a leader of a Soviet satellite nation. Castro hadn't been the leader of Cuba for very long when he forged his alliance with Khrushchev. Having Khrushchev as an ally would have given him some much needed power on the world stage and protected his position in Cuba. For Khrushchev 's part Cuba gave him a foothold off the coast of the United States which he would have considered valuable for the Soviet purposes.

Did Nikita Khrushchev ever tell John Kennedy and the United States that the United States would ruin themselves from the inside out?
No, there is no record of this. Even though Mr. Khrushchev,- like so many of his countrymen,- did think that the USSR would surpass the West in a few years in living standard and production, Mr. Khrushchev actually held the opinion that the USA was an example in well-fed population in a capitalistic society. The production in USSR actually did rise, but the increased production was not met with increased demand, so a lot of this production ended up stuck in warehouses...
Who were the leaders during the cuban missile crisis?
Countries involved in the Cuban missile crisis were Cuba, USA and USSR. Their leaders were Fidel Castro of the Cuban Communist government, President John F. Kennedy of the USA, and Nikita Khrushchev of the USSR. It's important to know which leaders were involved, however, Fidel Castro views were not important. He was a minor player. Whatever Kennedy and Khrushchev decided he had to support. If not he would have lost the USSR as a "friend". And at that time, his only friend was the Soviet Union. China was not a factor.
Is it true Nikita Khrushchev wished to goad Kennedy into invading Cuba and starting a war?
No. That would be a bit of an exaggeration, to say the least. A nuclear war between the superpowers (U.S. and the Soviet Union) would have been devastating to both sides. Rather, Khrushchev was more intent on playing the "brinksmanship" game more brilliantly than his younger counterpart, Kennedy. By setting up missiles in Cuba, he probably thought he could gain some leverage (e.g. for negotiating favorable terms regarding the politics of influence in other parts of the world). Fortunately, Khrushchev never gained the advantage which he sought. Kennedy called his bluff, so to speak, and forced Khrushchev's hand, causing him to withdraw the Soviet missiles from Cuba.
