Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 19, 2019

Miss the cold war? Well, Putin tried to bring it back, then he installed his hand-picked asset in the White House (despite losing the actual vote by almost THREE MILLION) so now, sorry, too late, the cold war is over and Putin won.

Trump surrendered and handed the white flag from the White House to the guy in the Kremlin.

For a fraction of the cost of one nuclear missile, Putin has found a way to complete a hostile takeover of the United States and buy his very own U.S. president and a majority of the U.S. Senate, including Mitt R-money, who made getting tough on Russia the centerpiece of his 2012 campaign for president independence from Trump a key point in his 2018 campaign for senator from Utah. Nowadays Putin pulls Trump’s puppet strings and Trump, in turns, trickles down the puppet strings to R-money.

Putin is an amazing investor. Just look at the return Putin has gotten on his investment:

• The government of the United States SHUT DOWN for the third time in a year, each time longer than the one before, all of them begun while REPUBLICONS controlled the House, Senate and presidency. Trump doesn’t care about the U.S. government being shut down; it isn’t the government he really works for.

• Babies in cages.

• Western alliances in disarray — including a puppet president who is trying to get the U.S. to withdraw from NATO.

• Total chaos in the White House.

• Sanctions on Russia and key Russian oligarchs being lifted or ignored

• Financial markets in turmoil.

• Tariffs that make U.S. exports less desirable and Russian exports more desirable (China no longer importing U.S. soybeans and Putin rushing to fill the Chinese demand for soybeans that used to be met by American farmers so that U.S. soybean sales to China will never come back.)

With apologies to Calvin and Hobbes. (I always loved Calvin’s Snowmen.)

But why?

Kasperov and Frosty?

That snowman on the right looks suspiciously like a Wiley bear in disguise.

The cold war never left. It was just put on “simmer” for awhile. Look at the arms build-up among superpowers and threats to the USA today. Now Trump has managed to bring it up to “broil”.

The board is set up wrong. White squares go in the right hand corners. Today’s nitpicking is brought to you by WaitingMan Industries, annoying know-it-all for over a half century.

People that think Donny Boy is a Russians agent need to explain increased sanctions, closing of Russian consulates, refusing to recognize the annexation of the Crimea that Barry Soetero allowed, etc.

We’ll wait.

BTW, I voted for Gary Johnson and the Electoral College insures our president isn’t chosen by New York, California making the rest of us irrelevant. Deal with it.

@ DD Wiz- I agree mostly. But leave it at the bar. You are an attention hound.

It was the source of a lot of good films, TV shows, and novels. I miss it, too.

Interesting that the cold war was over and US and Russia needed to “reset” and everything would be ok after Obama’s “next election” and “the 80”s called and want’s it’s foreign policy back" and Mitt was Crazy to consider Russia a threat! Then a Republican was elected and “all of a sudden” Russia became a serious problem again to all the democrats and the media!

not chess, Mr. Spock.

POKER!

you know that used to say getting old was a terrible thing but I’m glad I’m old because I’ll be gone before all this b******* actually gets to the conclusion y’all have a good day

Well … On to “The Wizard of Id.”

I must say DD wiz I love the fiction you write. Keep it up someday you might get a book deal.

I hope all you Trump bashers have the guts to admit your stupidity when all the reports due to come out clearly show his only desire is to do what is best for America. Yes, I know he had his ego in the way building his businesses before elected, but to hell with that. He is all American as our President. That’s what matters, that’s ALL that matters. Please take your rants and ignorance to a web site that cares.

Play chess, not war!

Although I agree with most of what DD Wiz states and have long since grown tired of the tendency of the sufferers of the real TDS (Trump Delusion Syndrome) to exist in a fact-free bubble this is all getting a little old. The comments of Non Sequitur often bring more meaning to the phrase. OMG, get a life! Don’t any of y’all have children to take care of or dishes to wash or maybe go for a jog? Sheesh!

My how things have changed. When I was in college, nearly all students supported the USSR and its communism, along with calling the USA babykillers for the Vietnam War. Now that the Soviets are gone and Russia is mostly a capitalist oligarchy, the leftist here consider them a danger, not just to the country but the world. The left’s new favorite BFF? Islamic radicals.

What an ignorant person above!

I’ve tried and tried but I don’t get the logo…..what’s the guy questioning?

Is it even humanly possible for liberals to be as stupid as they act?

Babies in cages? Oh, really….you really have drunk the Kool-aid.

Zugzwang.

I’m beginning to believe his user name stands for Dungeons and Dragons Wizard and for some reason I picture that he’s a lot like Comic Book Guy .

all said by a good card caring repubican

Looks like the trolls are out in force. Credit Mnuchin for dropping sanctions against Deripaska, and the recent polls showing Trump’s popularity within his “base” (and they are base) is eroding as his shutdown hurts a wider spectrum of the populace.

Whatever.

Go away!

Incoherent ranting by a stupid ….

@moonyea Greasy burgers, greasy fries, and fatty wraps are excellent representations of what DJT serves up as “best for America”, and how wrong he is in each and every decision he makes. (I’m assuming you are referring to the USA, and not to the many other countries in “America”.)

What is one man opinion against million of others?
