I thought we established that the “Basselope gap” is between its antlers, no?

Yeah, a basselope can deliver its payload at breakneck speed

Meanwhile today the U.S. is running out of artillery materials, and the Russians, out of everything.

… not mentioning the insanity gap …

Mr. President, we must not allow… a mine shaft gap!

The 60s called. They want their arms race back.

And just who is spreading this rumor, General?

I wonder if the " Basselope Gap" is a nod to Dr. Strangelove???

Weapons have electronics, chemistry, and batteries that deteriorate and expire. Some wars seem to be a season’s end cleaning of the cellar and pantry shelves before things expire so you can put up new and fresh products.

He’s gonna be real sorry he did that.

Oh, no! A Basselope Gap! No!

Wap wap wap! Get with the program, Milo, or be suspected of supporting the Reds….
