Guys life in the US isn't gonna end if we catch a nuke or two.

Smart money on them agitating until they actually do launch a hot icbm so we can retaliate in full to launch a war that sweeps Trump into his third term.

It's not "flavor of the month" the situation has been dire for a while, and it's just gotten substantially more dire. Florida is the only part of the US that is out of range of their newest missile. People who know a thing are making GBS threads themselves because we didn't have the political will to do what was necessary before it was too late. (what was necessary was diplomacy)


1) If North Korea has good reason to think an attack is imminent, using nukes is the only sane thing to do in their position, 2) for how bizarre DPRK propaganda is, their messaging about their intent and capabilities has been remarkably clear. American signalling has also been crystal clear, but the message we've been sending is "we're mad and scared but we're not going to do anything about it."

I honestly think the cartoon is way too sympathetic to North Korea, they're hardly some innocent obstacle that we can choose to just ignore when they sink South Korean and Japanese civilian ships.

The actual threat of a nuclear attack on the continental US has been greatly exaggerated by warmongers and lobbyists.

that article, from march posted:

One key feature of reports on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program is the Hypothetical Scary Nuke Map that shows an entirely hypothetical, not-yet-proven-to-have-been-built intercontinental ballistic missile hitting the US mainland.

There have been developments in the past few months. One of them on July 4th.

For some reason I thought that article was a lot more recent, my bad. Regardless, North Korea being in possession of a missile capable of hitting the US does not mean that there is serious risk of that happening, and it's easy to see who benefits from selling the narrative that there is.

Abyssal Squid
Jul 24, 2003

There's not much risk of it happening precisely because Kim Jong Un is a much more rational actor than we give him credit for, though if we do start making threatening moves that's when a rational actor would respond with throwing nukes around.

Is North Korea dangerous? Yes. Does that mean we should attack North Korea? No, that's one of dozens of reasons why that's an idiotic loving idea. That doesn't mean North Korea isn't dangerous though, it means we need to get real and negotiate with them.

They still haven't been able to miniaturize a nuke to put on the missile so it's still nbd to mainland America.

I like that there's absolutely nothing signifying them as Liberal students. You could just as easily posit that they're Conservative college students.
The letter U on Student #1's shirt is the only thing you could even try to use as an identifier.

To recap: Two weeks of the 2018 election embodied as a werewolf, followed by one week of asinine fake political bumper stickers. After that, one week of reruns where the coyote tries to hook up with a tortoise. And now, as far as I can tell, he's giving a shout out to the 2019 NASA flyby of a Kuiper Belt object?

I'm starting to suspect that all these cartoons were drawn months in advance, and that Allie hasn't actually been working since sometime in late June.

Prickly city occasionally looks decent (at least when Allie is trying).

Garrison is just what you get when the guy who does caricatures at the county fair goes off his meds.

Sounds like Tinsley and conservative college students are a bunch of snowflakes. :colbert:


It's also very telling when Tinsley acts like people punching actual loving nazis is the same as beating up anyone who disagrees with them.

Edit: I really want to see if Tinsley agrees to defend our right to call Trump a fascist.
