Sunday Cartoons: Duck and Cover

Ya know, I grew up with the big threat of nuclear war…up until the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was a serious thing.

Now it’s getting to be another possible scenario.

Earlier today we taped tomorrow’s show, and we discussed the potential for the U.S. to bomb Iran. Since taping, the U.S. has carried out several bombings. We’ll have more to say in the future, but for now our piece on Trump and the Iran Deal can help explain what got us here. youtu.be/5xnZ_CeTqyM

Iran hasn't unconditionally surrendered for some reason. Who could have predicted?They are threatening Americans in the region. I wonder if they're going to threaten the world oil supply by closing the straits of Hormuz? Or maybe some light terrorism? Anything can happen.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Banning Calvin and Hobbes? What the fuck?

I'm pretty sure Kamala Harris wouldn't be bombing us into an illegal war right now

    You have to know Netanyahu got his hear and talked him into it. I could tell the minute Netanyahu got on TV and basically said everything Trump needs to here. He did a Putin on him.

    I’m so upset about this. Trump needs to die before we get to the point they throw us out of NATO and no one wants to even see his diapered ass. What kind of fuckwads voted for this idiot. He’s already closing all their hospitals and sending their farms to the graves. He wants to kill their children too?

    So, the Iranis have chosen to go Tit for Tat. ( I’ve taught game theory in stuff like trade wars and tariffs.) The Iranians are closing the Straight of Hormuz. Yet another stab into the economy plus will Trumpolini send ships and double down on the Tit for Tat? These things look good in their chart form, but difficult to “game out” in reality.
