Uh...what the hell was Ramirez trying to say here? At first I thought it was whatever, and then I saw what I'm guessing is supposed to be Uncle Sam bent under Obama, so now I'm confused.

A bunch of sailors got captured by Iranian coast guards after some dysfunction on their boat made them drift in Iran's territorial waters.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/30/politics/iran-navy-capture-investigation-report/

quote:

In a stunning finding, the report said the sailors veered off course almost immediately after heading out to sea and had no idea where they were when a mechanical failure struck one of the boats.
"The boat crews could visually see Farsi Island, but were not concerned as they were unaware that it was Iranian or that they were in Iranian waters," the report said.

Now while the sailors in question were disciplined for the gently caress up, what they were reproached were poor mission planning, poor maintenance, poor knowledge of rules of engagement, and poor conduct while in custody. Editorial cartoonists, however, reproached them not to have fought off the Iranian navy in their crippled boat.

Basically Ramirez is saying that Obama is a dog-eating surrender monkey.
