This comic is kinda old already, but still stays relevant.
Nation states dividing the working class against themselves is sad as fuck. Fuck every country, but double fuck countries that start wars of aggression. Russia and the USA.
I think these days it should be so that the Ukraine fish is larger than the others on the right side combined, including USA
Or increase the size a little and give him a big ass coral drone

big divisive arguments in the thread
At some point, the "America and Russia are having sex" joke has fully exhausted itself.
It's all just cope. Totally divorced from the historical moment. Millions of people dead. More slated to die in a hellish conflict with no clear end.
But, "Lolz what if they were giving each other BJs" is immortal.
It's not really a joke at this point anymore though, just a statement
Yeah i think we're past laughing.
Get ready for others also sucking off Russia soon if the AfD victory is indication of anything.
No matter what, the Donald sucks.
Do you like fishsticks?
I like putting them in my mouth.

Both. Its both
Russia's economy is smaller than California's, yet we still pretend that they're a massive threat so that we can continue buying aircraft carriers. Graphic should have USA fish about 10x bigger than Russia fish.
Also, needs Iran and China fishes.
... and the opposing fishes should be shown buying Russia's oil with their frowny faces. "I can't believe that you're making me buy your oil, you are deplorable. Here's 50 billion dollars. Jerk. You're a jerk."

The problem is that California uses US weapons that costs magnitudes more for at best marginal improvements over weapons used by both Russia and Ukraine that cost less than vodka by weight, and which US cannot feasibly produce for less than 10X price, so it kind of levels out. Throwing money at Ukraine to produce them is smart, but there's only so many they can make.
Ukrainian here, glad someone understands. Russia is still the threat, and a very real threat to the whole Europe. No European country is ready for the war of drones - neither on the frontlines vs FPV (which we see repeatedly in European-Ukrainian trainings) and in the air vs reactive jet shaheds.
Like ffs just count the amount of antiair rockets you have in your country and check out the history of russian aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities. Its 200-300 shaheds every second day. Would your stocks last a week? Okay, two? USA is learning this in Iran, but they are on the other side of the world so they can take the L and move on.

Idk if the US gets to walk away from this. How many military bases in the region are still standing? What's the timeline for replacing all those lost F-15s and C-130s?
We're not seeing a war in downtown Cincinnati. But the US empire is going to be fundamentally changed from it's "Push Libya's shit in because we can" Obama Era recent past.
Empire is crumbling right before our eyes. Well, people voted for it. But it doesn't threaten shaheds to fly daily over states. Not instantly, at least.
And the same can't be said about EU, sending shaheds from Belarus = pretty much the whole Europe is in range.

How big is Yemen's economy compared to Saudi Arabia?
I don't think comparing by nominal GDP is nearly as effective as GDP adjusted to PPP. Russia is an industrialized economy with a low nominal GDP but higher GDP by PPP, whereas California has a high nominal GDP but is much lower by PPP.
PPP
Purchasing Power Parity if anyone else didnt know.
Correct.
Russia used to have a lot of tanks left over from the soviet union. Ukraine has blown most of them up.
Electrified everything I own because fuck Putin. I think the next think to look at is a battery to use off peak energy. Just looked and it appears some much better capacity/£ options are available since I last looked. Its always looking more and more tempting but then I always think about what if I wait for the next one to come out which is even batter?
I think at least China, Iran and North Korea could be added as participants on Russia's side
Trump asks Zelensky to not attack Russian refineries.
Imagine your country having been invaded, Russia is trying to kill you, has brought in soldiers not just from Russia but from other countries. You've toured countless bombed cities, and regularly see soldiers and civilians, men, women, and children missing limbs. You regularly get casualty numbers, names, and stories of your fellow countrymen.... for years. Year after year.
...and some fat American President who watches Fox news and is a child rapist, is telling you to go easy on the country invading you.
