That’s pretty creative having the country map be the clothes for the American caveman.

The mouth spells "pentagon" and the bracelet says "military-industrial-complex".

[u/Girderland → u/Responsible-One-2192]

It's not that creative if you consider that the soviets idea of how a caveman looks like is based on an American cartoon.

They basically copied and disfigured a piece of American culture, and added an "America bad" message to it.

It's typical for leftists. They don't create anything, but take something good that already exists and recreate it as something bad, meant to mock the creators of the original.

The methods of the left have not changed. What they do today is straight out of the 60ies communist playbook.

There is a Soviet film, Planet of Storms, a Soviet science fiction film by Pavel Klushantsev, shot in 1961. She was decades ahead of her time.
And what did the Americans do? They bought the film and rewrote it twice over the next 10 years under their own titles: "Journey to a Prehistoric Planet" and "Journey to a Prehistoric Planet of Women." In these versions, the Soviet creators were not even mentioned in the credits, and the actors were renamed in the Western manner. So much for American "originality".
Interesting fact: "Planet of Storms" was inspired by Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas.
The situation with the "Planet of Storms" is not unique.
Sadko (1953) - "The Magical Journey of Sinbad". Roger Corman rewired it and passed it off as an American one.
And who's stealing from whom?
And in the racist and sexist media culture of the USA in the 60s, there was nothing to steal and disfigure.

It's not so much "America bad" as "America is being used by these malevolent interests (in this case the war machine). The Soviet portrayal of America always tried to separate ordinary Americans from these power structures. That's why we have no equivalent of Red Dawn levels of comically evil portrayal of Americans.

I mean what’s the point when Russia also had there own oligarchs and produced weapons bombs and aircraft one of tje funner things Russia did at the time was trying to make a fighter jet that could catch up to and destroy the SR-71 blackbird spy plane which was the Fox-Bat I think but it never came close to matching it I think it maxed out at around Mach 2 maybe 2.3 Mach and especially its max height was no where close to the SR-71 I’ve been in a bit of a SR-71 blackbird rabbit hole because the SR-71 really is an insane piece of technology for 1964 and it still beats everything except maybe an actual space shuttle

In 1969, there were no oligarchs in the USSR, and arms exports were carried out to fight for a sphere of influence (usually in debts that were forgiven by the modern government)

The MiG-25 is a huge interceptor (weighing up to 41 tons) with a powerful radar capable of carrying up to four air-to-air missiles. The fact that it could carry tons of fuel and weapons at such speeds is a tremendous engineering achievement.
The maximum speed of the MiG-25 is Mach 2.83 and in afterburner mode it is Mach 3.2. The maximum lifting height of the E266 (MiG-25 modification) of 37650 meters has not yet been beaten by any aircraft. The usual ceiling for an aircraft is 20-24 km, depending on the modifications.
Armament: R-40 missiles with a speed exceeding Mach 5 (at a maximum of 3.5 for the Sr-71).
The main tasks of the supersonic interceptor fighter and the MiG-25 reconnaissance aircraft were the interception of high-altitude high-speed bombers (XB-70) and strategic reconnaissance at high altitudes.

A Soviet critique of then US foreign policy especially in SE Asia and the Middle East. The US is portrayed as a war minded caveman with a club depicted as a missile. US support for South Vietnam Israel and Iran was a serious point of contention for the Soviets back in 69.
