1. How polite of them.
2. I'm not saying they were lying, but the Russian history of honesty is suspect.

Would love to know what that looks like from McMAW (Main Centre for Missile Attack Warning, the Russian equivalent of NORAD).

McMAW: Oh hai NORAD, after Futurama ends, we're gonna launch 1x ICBMs but not at ur land, k?

NORAD: lolz, don't troll me, n00b

McMAW: No joke, for real this time, but don't push the M.A.D. button, k?

NORAD: kthxbai
