Jeff Danziger for May 21, 2024

You know, IF Vladimir Putin (who helped his fellow war criminal Assad massacre more than half a million Syrian civilians) hadn’t decided to try to resurrect the old USSR, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Depressing.

It only takes one demented Fat Orange Clown to start domestic and international conflict and be given a prime seat at the Apocalypse Bar. Perhaps the allies are not there to drink but understand that the AB has to be closed.

How many died because of delays in receiving arms from the US?

Not as much having our troops involved in a land war with Russia.

And when shootin putin invades Poland and Germany we should just let him have them because he threatens to pop off a few nukes, right Jeff? “Give me what I want or else.” Sounds familiar…oh right that’s what trump is always saying.

The idea is to deter Russian aggression to prevent a wider war by providing Ukraine with the weapons it needs. BTW, great job, Repubs in the House ….

Pretty dark Lt. D. Accurate too.

I understand (and agree with) the idea that the Ukrainians are fighting the West’s fight right now and fully deserve our moral and material support. I have no doubt that Putin’s not trying to resurrect just the Soviet Empire, but the Tsarist one, incorporating the Baltic nations and Poland. But at the same time, I am well aware, as is Jeff Danziger, that when neither side can afford defeat, and one of them is a nuclear power thing can get out of hand quickly and catastrophically. And I think that, and not appeasement, is the point of this cartoon.

“War is business and business is booming.”

Please, don’t feed the geezertroll.

How do you slap down a maniacal Putin? He’s not stopping at Ukraine.

By all means, let’s pressure the Ukrainians to just lie down and submit to being raped.

Trump’s first impeachment was because he was holding aid to Ukraine hostage until Zelensky provided some dirt on Biden.Zelensky still has not provided any of the imaginary dirt on Biden that the MAGATs demand so Trump has done all he could to prevent their getting any aid.

Of course, they will try to hem and haw and spin and obfuscate and make up all kinds of other excuses for stabbing an ally in the back, but it is all about doing the bidding of Trump and Trump is following his besty Putin.

The once-respected Republican Party of the 1950’s all the way up until 2015 — when they were merely greedy in their aggressive efforts to REDISTRIBUTE wealth from the working people who produce it to the few richest elites who own and control the productive resources but were not traitors aiding and abetting our adversaries — was deeply opposed to Russian aggression.

Today’s Republican Party, which is now under the control of the MAGAT cult hates Zelensky because, unlike the Republicans, Zelensky has enough character and fortitude to refuse to surrender to Russian domination the way they did.Chamberlain will go down in history as a traitor, or at least a weak kneed moron. But we haven’t learned from his mistakes.

If you think standing with our allies is expensive, wait until you see the cost of abandoning them.

I don`t suppose Danziger would be happy unless the Western world chose to lie down and allow Ukraine to be raped, murdered and dismembered by Russia. News flash: the world is not a principled and peaceful utopia, Jeff.

Let’s not ignore the root cause here: Putin.
