Mike Luckovich for March 24, 2022

Nice, sir.

Bravo, Mike!

Slava Ukraini.

Apparently they also just damaged a Russian ship.

Not just baby carriages, but also hospitals and historic theaters.

Free Ukraine !

Wow. Powerfully brilliant (as usual) Mr. Luckovich.

Not till Russian mothers begin wondering why their sons aren’t coming home

Don’t be so hard on the Russians; they are only copying Dubya’s program of Shock and Awe.

 A Grim Milestone

COVID-19 has now killed over a million Americans. For comparison:

Civil War: ~620,000

Great Chicago fire: ~300

Peshtigo fire: ~2,000

WW1: 116,516

Spanish flu: ~675,000

Tulsa race massacre: ~300

Pearl Harbor: 2,403

WW2: 418,500

Korean War: 33,686

Vietnam War: 58,220

Oklahoma City bombing: 168

9/11: 2,977

Afghan War: 6,301

So the wealthiest, most technologically advanced nation in human history, with 4% of the world’s population, has racked up 16% of its COVID deaths.

Why? Or, more pertinently, who?

How many of those million American corpses would be alive today if the former guy had shown awareness, concern, moral courage, and real leadership by treating the pandemic as a serious, non-partisan public-health matter instead of trivializing, minimizing, and politicizing it? Just because HE was getting the best medical care money could buy (at taxpayer expense) didn’t mean everybody else was.

Granted, his monumental ignorance, arrogance, intransigence, and narcissism don’t amount to premeditated murder, but there’s a convincing case to be made for contributory negligence on a massive scale. It’s like applauding enthusiastically while the kids next door take turns throwing lighted matches on a pile of oily rags.

“The ‘Just war’ theory has been converted into a form of apologetics for whatever atrocities your favored state is carrying out.” ―Noam Chomsky.

Russia learned as little from its Afghanistan incursion as the U.S. in Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Pick your wars carefully and have winnable objectives. But don’t pile up the war crimes in the meantime.

It is a war crime to drive the population out of their homeland.

Russian history is a thousand years of horror. Its sole contribution to civilization is in the arts.

I hope they aren’t proud of all the babies and children they have killed. So much death and destruction……and for what???? A little man’s ego.

Savage. And nice.

Sadly, too true.

For Ghu’s sake, SEND them those Javelins and Stingers!!!

Spot on Mike, sadly so. And it doesn’t help much if the Hague condemns Putin as a war criminal if his military continues to murder babies in carriages/prams.
