Reference to WWII. “The wolf’s lair” and German forces being compared to wolves. Then being axed by mighty Soviet Union???

I'm russian i got this

So pretty much the animal is a fox, the word meaning "forest" a homohpone to "fox" in Russian. So in sense the guys are chopping foxes, not trees.

actually forest and fox in russian aren't homophones, just similar sound and similarly spelled.

Using Google Translate - It came up with the word 'Scribblers' - This makes it even more of mystery as to whats going on :~)

I'm English - all I have is Google Translate - писорубы - ( I guessed the first letter ) What is your translation ?

Lumberjacks. the first letter is incorrect.

Ahhh ..... So the first letter, which looks like a western V (but upside down) is an L - Л
Google translate

Лисорубы - Fox cutters

Лесорубы - Lumberjacks

It's a play on the spelling ... I never would have worked this out you ! :~)

A scribbler is a derogatory term for a journalist.

Guess this cartoon could sum up how most in the US feel about MSM.
