Perhaps we should also have Russians charging through, bayonetting children and raping young women while they're at it?
Fuckers broke the peace of Europe.
If they don't pay in all their blood then we are rewarding people for causing more war.
And the US is a widdle peaceful country that has never done anything wrong with its massive military.

Russia is ethnically cleansing Ukraine.
They're replaying WW2, but this time they're taking the part of Hitler.
Fuck your whataboutism, the Russians have to be taught to stay in their filthy country.
Edit: again. They're ethnically cleansing Ukraine again.
It would help if we didn't have arseholes like Putin trying to take over the world.
Eisenhower warned us about the growing beast that is the military industrial complex after WWII, and all we did was feed it for profit.
I feel like this would be more accurate if the vantage pointed zoomed out a bit to demonstrate that the parasite class (billionaires) is causing the shortage of funds for everyone seated.
Is this comic from 1953? Or is it over 80 years old. It can't be both, unless that tweet is from the future.
Also, the US budget for direct healthcare spending is over 2T, more than 2x the "defense" budget. Like, I get the message of the comic, but it's not exactly true that healthcare is underfunded.
Is that spending actually on healthcare, or is it really extorted by an invisible state of ‘healthcare industries’ that sell an aspirin for $100?
“Healthcare” CEOs are certainly not underfunded. But you don’t have to look far to find healthcare programs that are.
Medicare and Medicaid set their own prices and providers get direct payments from those programs, so shrug. There's a reason Medicare is the blueprint for single payer (M4A).
The modern update would have the other tables being bombed for existing in War's space.
What's "Arts"?

Whatever happened to Lee Carter? He's one of the good accounts I followed on Twitter that I never really found and a replacement for on Mastodon
