I would say that I have lost all respect for Felon Trump ... but I never had any respect for him to start with. How you go lower than the bottom? I just ordered two "I Stand with Ukraine" bumper stickers for mine and my daughter's cars. I hope the extra support Zelenskyy is seeing from other nations will be enough ... and I hope he NEVER apologizes to the moron in the Oval Office!

He should sign a mineral deal with the EU. Toss in Japan and Taiwan. I'm sure those folks will respect a country, a man, fighting for his life.

OUTRAGEOUS!

That meeting was cringeworthy, a complete humiliation for Trump and JD and an embarrassment for the USA.

Those 2 don't have an iota of the character and courage of Zelensky.

Beware Greenland, Canada and Panama!

Thank you. You should mail this to Lisa Benson who wins the award for stupidest toon of the day. Along with a dictionary highlighting the word disrespect plastered over POS's face.

I'm not certain that Lisa Benson can read.

I think that the staged meeting was also a way to try to justify getting the US out of NATO so that Russia can invade former Soviet territories and not worry about the US honoring its commitment to NATO. It is also a signal to China (with whom we are now aligned by proxy) that we will do nothing to stop them from taking over Taiwan. It appears that the global oligarchs have banded together to divvy up the world. Stay tuned for WWIII, where only the oligarchs will benefit.

Do we even know which minerals Trump thinks the US needs? Ireland manufactures chips (Intel not potato) but doesn't, I think, make tanks & drones. I just want Zelensky to get a great deal from someone else so 47 can stew in his own juice.

Trump is so stupid and has no idea what he is talking about. He called it "raw earth" during the meetings. What an ignoramus!

Rare earths. Which aren't all that rare, the US has billions of tons of those minerals.

The issue is that extraction is usually very polluting. Thus, the attack on environmental laws.

Two errors (alas) in your excellent post today. Hitler was not a vegetarian. His favorite food was liver meat balls (leberknödelsuppe). In Asutria they make them with spleen.

Also, you listed Romania twice, but left out the other Baltic states: Latvia and Lithuania (included with other nations?). Spain and Belgium are also strongly supportive of Ukraine. An amended list would be nice to see, especially for someone whose ancestors were born in Lithuania and Latvia, but who now lives in Spain. Alas, there is no longer a Ruthenia, else I would list it among my ancestry (along with Belorus, Slovakia and the Czech republic. )

This is perfectly done - the toon and even more, the writing. Had the two buffoons known, would they have recalled and been able to cite facts?

Excellent toon and an absolutely outstanding blog!! I am not quite old enough to remember World War II. But my husband’s father (North Africa vs Rommel) and uncle (Europe) , and my aunt (Pacific Theater/post-war Japan) and uncle (Diesel Mechanic) fought in it. As did a lot of other people in the neighborhood I grew up in. They taught us more than any history classes did. My husband and I have dear friends whose parents were 1st generation immigrants. Their parents came here alone because the ENTIRE rest of their Jewish families had been slaughtered by Hitler and his Nazis. And now our friends (and their children) are being threatened by the Nazis who love 🍊! And who 🍊and JD🧆love! It is time for my husband and I to stop worrying about all our MAGAt neighbors. The banner we bought a couple of years ago saying: “I support Ukraine 🇺🇦 “ is going back up in our window, the one facing the street where everyone that drives or walks by can see it. And, Clay, you are definitely right that 🍊and 🧆needing to go somewhere. But I’m thinking more along the lines of them joining Hitler to burn in H🔥🔥🔥🔥😈
