rocket-rattling
Observing recent talks and threats from the Russian quarter, I would be surprised if the expression "rocket-rattling" didn't make a come back quite soon.
"Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, formless in its inception, turned into a program for free world development. Leadership had begun to reassert itself. Against the dark background of the Soviet satellite, Russia's diplomatic rocket-rattling and fear of weakness in the free world's leadership, President Dwight Eisenhower and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan met last week in Washington. They took an idea, which at first was little more than a hope. "
