He was paraphrasing Marx. Marx stated in the Communist Manifesto of 1848 that,
“What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.”
Khrushchev was stating that as the USSR was booming under the early part of his rule, and would, by some economic indicators, begin to overtake the USA by about 2000, then Marx’s prophecy was going to come true.
What he was not saying was that the Soviet Union was going to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the USA. Many commentators in the West read his remarks in this way – they were wrong.

Edit, yes he was angry, but his words did not mean that he wanted to obliterate the USA. He was retaliating to a statement made by the Filipino delegate Lorenzo Sumulong about Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, his outburst was not directed at the USA.
He meant exactly what I have said, that Communism would “inevitably” bury capitalism through workers’ uprisings.
