Oh Lord, this graphic brings back memories.... of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I know I'm aging myself for saying this, but B&W versions of this were printed almost daily in newspapers way back then, and it caused me as a young lad some concern because I lived in a remote mountain region not too far from Oak Ridge, TN, our nuclear weapons maintenance facility.
To those of you too young to remember that, Khrushchev of the USSR (you might even be too young to remember the USSR) was trying to position nuclear missiles in Cuba and JFK wouldn't allow it. He formed a blockade around Cuba to prevent the missiles from being shipped there (90 miles from American soil) and tensions were running very high.
In the end, the USSR backed down, but there was about a 2-week period when we in the South, seeing this daily reminder of how close those missile could have been, were on edge. To my parents and other elders, they had fresh memories of what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
fine, let's just do the targeting for them . . .
Do they have enough petrol? Hard choice to make, generator or drone.
Maybe they're rum-powered.
Pelosi: "And where, exactly, are they storing the rum?"
Should say Gulf of America.
This was exactly my concern.

I lived in Homestead then, the girls would start screaming when a jet flew over the school, fun times.
Ah, the good old days, am I right?
Yea, the girls were our air raid sirens. 😂 Get under your desk!😂
CUBA is a front for other identities - they can't even keep electricity on. this is fear porn
