Okay you win, it was the tiny county of Mar Largo

It was that small little country just to the West of Japan.

Antarctica. They’ve always been trouble makers.

Years ago I saw a terrible 1950s sci-fi movie in which an alien race announced that because we humans have developed nuclear weapons they will blow up the earth in a few days. But at the last moment the aliens change their doomsday weapon to only kill bad people, so all Communists disappear. The End. Happy ending.

Could we get a bomb that only kills Putin supporters?

It was them. … No. It was them. … It was those other guys. … They started it. … It’s not our fault. …

Don’t bother. We’ll do it ourselves.

Who paid for it is a better question…….

Made on Earth by humans

Gort. Klaatu barada niktow.

it was China ok. China did it

Aliens wouldn’t care which country fired it. We’d all be the same to them.

Where’s the kaboom there should have been an earth shattering kaboom?

Every country in unison: Russia did it!

Might want to check with Tehran

aliens might wanna hurry their vengance, lest we finish ourselves, um, ourselves.

They’re waiting until we render the planet hostile to human life and we die off, then they will move in and terraform it to suit themselves.

This is why we label our rockets

Rebooting may be the only way.

Only one missile? That must be the latest moon rocket.

If they were close enough to catch a military missile, they would already be gone from the sheer number of them.

don’t worry about it. It’s a bluff.

Don’t bother; it doesn’t matter. The way things are going, we’ll take care of this ourselves. :-(
