So the original plan was
to go with the next panel
as a quick, punchy one-
liner illustrating how
y'all are going to bat
for -in the spirit of
generosity, at the very
least- a sell-out... Have you asked
yourselves why Dear
Leader is simping so
hard for Putin? But there's a bigger issue on the table along
the lines of collaboration, projection... and
probably a few more mechanics I could pick out
if there was more time to dissect the issue... "You're gambling with World War III!!"; Undoubtedly y'all are still a-titter with
monitor-spackling glee over Dear Leader's
obviously pre-planned jumping of Zelensky,
attempt to characterize said same as the
bad guy in the Russo-Ukraine conflict. But
here's the thing: if anyone's gambling with
WWIII, it's Putin and Dear Leader. Why? Well... first off, China's sticking to its
defensive agreement with Russia, Europe
is sticking to its aid agreements with Ukraine
and the only world stage player getting in on
the action is North Korea. And uh... not to be
overly glib, but if Kim Jong Un wants to feed
his military into Putin's Zapff Brannigan
Ground War Playset, so be it. Secondly, by playing games with military aid
to Ukraine, Dear Leader is cranking up the
likelihood of Russia gaining control over one
of the world's breadbaskets -specifically, the
one supplying Europe. An army marches on its
stomach, so take a minute
to consider the implications
of Russia being able to cut
off Europe's access to a
primary food source and
how that plays into Putin's
stated goal of putting the
Soviet Union back together.
