Russia's president Vlad 'the war criminal of St. Petersburg' Putin plans to outfit Belarus with "tactical nuclear weapons." Oh great, here comes another 'cold war'. I didn't much care for the first 'cold war' and that one I grew up in. Under? On account of? Whatever! You see Belarus is a Russian puppet state and Belarus is just about exactly to the north of Ukraine. Oh yes and I almost forgot, Belarus is a nation/state in the Baltic region of Europe. I don't believe that Belarus is a member of the E.U. E.U. would be the European Union. Whatever. Back in the 1950s, the cold war was an all-encompassing madness that affected just about all aspects of life in the 50s. We had air raid sirens that lead to drills, and schools taught us children how to "duck then cover" under our desks at school just in case the rooskies dropped the 'big one'. So much fun. There were "fallout shelters" stocked with K-rations, water, cots, blankets, and thyroid pills. To this day I've never been able to figure out what the hell the 'Civil Defense' authorities thought thyroid pills were going to do. The grown-ups discussed what to do just in case. Above-ground nuclear weapons testing and those pretty in pink clouds of radiation. Ah, those were the good old days. So in short, Russia moves nukes into Belarus so the U.S. and NATO will move nuclear weapons into Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Soldiers will be stationed in Germany again and damn we'll be having some fun oh yeah. Conscription, the draft, will begin once again and all manner of young Americans will get to live life as a conscript. You can read all about the high life and the draft in any half-decent history of the Vietnam War. So it might be advantageous to get one's affairs in order and keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times. The ride might get bumpy in a hurry. Now for our sabbath machine art.
