Nearly all of it was irony to make the United States conservatives or anyone besides communist peace nicks look stupid and evil. In that regard, no I don’t think there’s anything at all brilliant about putting a sign up warning people not to steal coke. In fact you almost do a disservice cuz there’s at least a few funny parts of that movie. That ain’t one of them
What most folks forget was the satire about the Soviet leadership in the movie.
The Premier was busy having sex with his mistress.
The Soviet leadership was physically fighting among themselves.
The Soviet Premier was a Biden like dolt and the American President had to treat him like a five year old.

If you haven’t noticed the film makes fun of the commies too!
Premier Kissoff?
Alexei de Sadeski?
President Merkin Muffley wasn’t a hard-line conservative, more a confused moderate if anything.
Yeah it makes fun of military stereotypes but you cannot do the oppose. At least not to make it humorous.
I think you need to see it with fresh eyes.
