Why did the soviet premier threaten to bury US with nuclear bombs?

Nikita Krushchev, the Premier of the Soviet Union from 1958-1964, never claimed that the Soviet Union would bury the United States with nuclear bombs. The phrase "We will bury you" is a mistranslation of a speech Khrushchev gave in 1956, where he said that communism would eventually triumph over capitalism.
