Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 25, 2017

I see that the Red Rascal is now on Putin’s payroll.

Give the people what they want.

And next on his list, US Corporations, Facebook, Trump and his minions, the GOP.

If a lot of the ‘Red Rascal’s’ readers are taxpayers, I guess the Donald is not one of his readers. How interesting that ‘payment of fair share’ toward NATO doesn’t include the hundreds of NATO soldiers whose lives were lost in Aghanistan and Iraq when the US invoked the provision of NATO’s charter stating that an attack on one nation is an attack on all. Only time that provision has been acted on, too…

New U.S. policy: Abandon NATO and Europe, so China can step in and take our place. Make America Great Again!

somehow not very funny.

Trump ruined humor too.

Graphic revenge fantasies will keep the masses’ attention away from what’s happening in their wallet pocket.

Oh Lordy, the Red Rascal is back.

While serving In the Army in worked with NATO troops. Regardless of the President’s I value them as allies

that’s what I love about your Sunday strip, I can depend on your Liberal BS in the strip.

Well, it IS totally made-up fiction, just like ALL of Drumpf’s “Campaign Promises”!

@Argythree I heard a story on NPR in which they interviewed the Minister of Defense of one NATO ally, and a couple high-ranking officials of others. They all said the same thing: “we have been spending less than the treaty obligates us to, and now we have a plan in place to ramp it up.”

As much as I don’t like to say it, this is probably, in the world of non-fiction, a solid win for Donald the Orange. (The only one I can think of off the top of my head.)

And our friends the English are thrilled, since they’re the only NATO ally in Europe who still makes tanks.

Let me see if I understand this correctly. According to Trudeau if I am an American taxpayer who thinks that our NATO allies should be paying their fair share, then I would be entertained by watching someone slaughter the security forces of one of our NATO allies?

@cafed00d It’s been years since anyone accused GT of having an overly-tight grip on reality.

Though, in his defense, it’s represented as what Jeff the Psycho thinks his audience wants.

I am going to make a couple of statements that are replies to comments posted here.

First, Trump has managed to lose the Cold War in 4 months (1/20/17 — 5/25/17) that every president from Truman to Bush41 spent 45 years to win.

Second, the comment that only the English still make tanks:

-

The article that I have provided in the above link rates the German Leopard 2A7 as the best main battle tank currently in production. Also on the list is the LeClerc, which is the main battle tank built by the French.

Cool. The tank “fact” came from the NPR story. I should have known better than to trust them for any facts on any kind of weapon. My bad. I apologize.

@JEFFIEKINS

I respect your honesty.

So that’s what Red Rascal has been up to these days…!

I’m taking this as a pro-Trump strip. (Pay up NATO!) Very open minded of Mr. Trudeau, considering his penchant for ridicule.
