To answer anyone's thought, the Russians had an exact copy of the B-29 called the Tu-4. But the stock footage use is ridiculous! And where are the F-86 Sabres?
I don't know if I wrote this before, but during this movie I find myself rooting for the "bad guys". Is it just me or do they make the Americans (in general) seem really unappealing? Well, this is what happens when Joseph McCarthy ghostwrites a screenplay.
And yet it's American propaganda movie that makes americans seem like a bunch of idiots, and MST3K that makes them seem like they're smart and have a sense of humor.

In a way, they shouldn't be laughing at this movie, because either it's a stark reminder of the dangers of the Cold War, or it's a lot of dangerous absurdist fear mongering.
War, there are actually many things it's good for. Like, killing people who you've never known, seen, or thought of for a no real reason other than it being ordered.
Why the hell can't they call the enemy by name? Was it against the law to mention the Soviet Union? Why didn't they show the president's face? Why can't that guy pronounce Kamikaze right?
3. You know I understand that for stylistic purposes, they shouldn't show the president but the fact he's adressing the nation with his back turned to us, is just wrong.
So many English words are mispronounced by English speakers, it's likely someone would mispronounce a foreign-language word. There are still a few people who pronounce Nazi like 'gnat'sy. For your other questions, maybe these filmmakers just weren't that talented.
The Tu-4 was such a direct copy that its better to refer to it as the B-29ski. :p

1. In films like these the enemy is always implied to be Russian, 'cause that's where the Evil Communism comes from.
2. see above
3. Since the invasion could take place at any time, this could be any president.
4. That's just how they pronounce it (see karaoke/"carry-okie").
