Before you get all excited about this "Soviet wonderweapon", remember that it
is nothing more than a modernized Panzerfaust 60. Thank goodness the Russian
war machine can build really good copies of captured German stuff, eh?

Remember that American rocket technology, American nuclear reactors
and American nuclear bombs were designed by Europeans.

Do you know who Von Braun was ?

Yeah, the German guy who made bigger versions of Goddard's rockets.


Do you know who Fermi was ?

Italian bloke, always hung about in the handball court at the
University in Chicago?

Do you know who Einsten was ?
No, but I recall a guy name Einstein who hang around Princeton a lot.

Were they Americans ?

An all cases, yes, in fact, they were. They came over, liked it here,
and applied for Citizenship.

It's worth noting that two of the three you mention above left their
"Native" nations due to their intense revulsion at the deirections
that those nations had taken.
