When one country negotiates away another country's vital interests to a common enemy, you are going to risk a split no matter what the form of government.

China had a hot border dispute with India, and, without consulting with China, Kruschev pulled the rug out from under them. He basically treated China like a child instead of a full partner, and the Chinese did not take it well. So they chilled relationships with Russia.

The only weapon in the late 60's would be a neutron bomb explosion that could devastate an island with low radiation effects. IMO.

Wrong. Stalinism was the first major corruption of communist ideals. It was already twisted from what Marx and Engels had envisioned by Lenin, but Stalin totally bent it out of any similarity to anything like what "Das Capital" was about. Khrushchev was actually a reformer in comparison to Stalin. After the missles of October he became more and more increasingly willing to negotiate with the West and that is why Breshnev and the politburo kicked him out of power.
and also his crappy agricultural policies

lol, he should have been, in my state alone we have four dams on the Missourri River, construction on these dams started in the 40's and were completed in the early 60's.

The only reason for multiple dams is for navigation of locks up and down the river. Lock #26 on the Mississippi is located near St. Louis. There are a lot more downriver.
