Kool-Aid! That explains why Putin shouts “OH, YEAH!” as he bursts through a wall.

Just relax. Things will get back to normal when he and Medeyev exchange offices again.

Crimea belongs to the Krim Tatars who were forcibly transported from Crimea.

Somehow this strip ignores the ‘Honduras Redux’ aspect of the so-called “non-violent” coup in Kiev and the neo-Nazi ultra nationalist flavor of the coup gov’t. And, Arye, if the Tatars hadn’t collaborated with Hitler during his invasion of Ukraine (including all that went with the Nazi occupation) they wouldn’t have pissed ‘Uncle Joe’ off so bad that he deported them (seems everyone begins the Tatar’s story in 1946 rather than 1941…).

Vladimir Putin is a ruthless communist plutocrat! He was voted into office by massive voter fraud in Russia. He will soon be faced with tremendous devaluation of the Russian Ruble and plunging Russian stock market values. Then he will be turned on by his fellow plutocrats and oligarchs in Russia. And Russian troops will be needed to quell rioting in Moscow.
