I'll have to try Cuban rum sometime. I suppose that requires a trip out of the США.

Apparently you can get it in Soviet Canuckistan, but it costs much more.

Oh man, so much more. We brought back our 4-bottle alotment and I made the mistake of giving 2 away. If I ever go back to Cuba, I'm keeping the 4 bottles to myself and I'll find other gifts to bring back for people.

Although, we still have some left. Feel free to invite yourself here for degustation ;]

Wheee! I'm insisting that Jose bring more back the next time he goes to Cuba (I think he goes fairly regularly, as he has family there). It's some good shit.

Ah, the second two words make sense to me at least.

един is single/one (similar to один, the number one), Со- is similar to the English/Latin co-, together, though I suspect it's etymologically closer to syn-, which comes from Greek. I'm pretty sure they are all originally from the same Indo-european root.

How did I miss that being in there? Looks like even my twelve words of Russian are doing me no good. :)

I was writing an essay on Chinese foreign relations in the Maoist period yesterday and I wrote down USSR vs. USSA at some point. That wasn't in the essay I handed in, but by 1966 that was China's attitude towards the two countries: interchangeable superpowers.

I think that if Khrushchev would have let Mao have his way, we would have had nuclear war. Mao was pretty much the eastern Che, without a domestic Castro to temper him!

From my perspective (living on US Strategic Air Command bases from the 1950's until the early 70's), the danger was always more that the US would start a nuclear war by accident than anything else.
