Rumor has it that, back when it was the Soviet Union, a missile maintenance crew wrote “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue” on the nosecone of an SS-18.

All a matter of perspective.

Have to say that wouldn’t upset me considering who lives in the white house today.

Our guys were probably writing “Good morning, Comrade” or “FU, Ivan!” on Minuteman nose cones. I visited Russia in early 1991 and once the vodka started flowing we would look across the table at our Russian hosts and we’d all start giggling about the fact that we survived those times without killing each other and leaving the f@#$ing Chinese to pick up the pieces. I don’t like what they’re doing in the Ukraine and every country that was under their thumb during the Cold War hates them with a passion, but on a person to person level the Russians are solid.
