Long ago I was tasked with epoxying parts to live missiles. This was done in a bunker. It was explained to me that there were no worries because there was supplied also a large broom and a large dishpan.

One of Igor Stravinsky’s less talented great-grandsons had been drafted into the Russian bomb-making factory. He was in charge of Putin’s specially designed “Firebird” series of incendiaries. Snarky Putin had him stamp each one “From Russia With Love.”

Marketing 101.

A few more years and you collect your pension.

Was it Lucille Ball or Saturday Night Live that did this better?

During WWII, my mom worked in an Airplane factory….she was such a beautiful woman, and did her part to help the war effort. RIP

Reminds me of the Goldwater commercial in 1964—-all it had was the exploding of a hydrogen bomb……and then Goldwater 1964.

Sent to Ukraine with love.
