Mike Lester for December 20, 2018

A good analogy. Sadly. All our options in that part of the world suck.

Trump’s is often cited as being a dedicated Whack-A-Mole player; unfortunately he is totally incapable of any pursuit requiring strategic thinking beyond the present moment. Chess, anyone?

Marriages and Muslim civil wars are like scissors – stay out of the middle or you’ll get cut.

Watch as ISIS gains more fighters as the U.S. pulls out.

Is Mr. Lester less than enchanted with #45’s knee jerk actions?

I’m hoping this is just another ploy by the Orange Idiot to distract his base from the constant flow of bad news about him in the media. He’s once again trying to get everybody focused on another of his bone head moves, while in the meantime he’s setting it up so we don’t actually pull out. After all, “pulling out” is so unmanly.

Wottsa big deal, Mike?

YOUR GUY has proclaimed ISIS is defeated, and he would never lie, right?

.

And there’s no collusion with Russ-e-a here, either.

Mike, why doesn’t the ‘toon show Putin saying he approves of his puppet’s actions? Aren’t you supposed to show your fealty to your overlord?

The Russians are delighted! I think The Donald just sold out America…

1) This cartoon implies that ISIS cannot be defeated.

b) The use of “We” in referring to this surrender and other bizarro stunts Mr. Trump continues to pull is utterly wrong. The Pentagon, State Dept., Senate Foreign Relations Committee, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, etc., ad infinitum – have no intention of doing any such things, despite what the temporary CIC orders.

4.(f) The head of state of Syria is a homicidal maniac supported by our arch-enemy Russia. ISIS be damned, someone must stop the butchery sooner or later – preferably an international coalition under the United Nations flag.

- #46) Be it a Republican, Independent, or Democratic president (and Congress) will not be laying down for Putin and Assad. Whatever Mr. Trump and boy Kushner do in the Middle East can and will be (painfully) reversed.

No, our allies Russia and Iran are going to take up the slack.

Putin finally gets his port on the Mediterranean Sea and sanctions are lifted on Deripaska… Let’s hope Mueller is monitoring Putin’s back channel, Betsy DeVos to Erik Prince to Fearless Leader…

Trump will still have the same mouth breathers voting for him in 2020. Mike Lee and Utahns still love him more than a warm gun.

Yes, and unless that decision is changed the potential consequences will likely be quite bad.
