Not understanding why the U.S. had acted, Russians were prepared to be indignant, if also a little frightened, when Pravda told them: "The American ruling quarters are acting like cowardly beasts . . . The imperialist aggressors must remember that if they try to fan the fire of world war, they will inevitably burn in its flames." At that, endless resolutions from factories and collective farms poured in to Moscow sympathizing with poor little Cuba.

The Common Market of Europe was Nkrumah's new cuss word ("neo-colonialism"), and NATO was also dragged in for critical comment. Although his own country is impoverished, the dictator promised lots of money to potential allies.
