I was a kid in the 50s and began growing-up in the 60s, and well remember “Duck and Cover” and the Nike Missile Bases near our town, in Arlington Hts, IL. If wacko Pooty-Poot launch some of his 6,000+ missiles, we and Europe would retaliate, and it’d be a very different world, if a world at all. Supplying Ukraine and staying directly out of this, is paramount.

Nike missiles.
Yeah my Dad was a field engineer for the Bell System. He worked on the Nike installations in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I remember one summer night he got a phone call and had to go solve some problem on site and he took me along (I was about 10 yrs old). He got stuck in the mud and they had to tow our car out LOL.
