From dictionary.com:
sa·ber-rat·tling Pronunciation Key - [sey-ber-rat-ling]
–noun
a show or threat of military power, esp. as used by a nation to impose its policies on other countries.

Yeah, sorta like the Cuban Missile Crisis, which also was sabre-rattling at its best. I think after reading your post and re-reading mine that we are in agreement.
