Ted Rall for March 08, 2021

Yeah. This ’toon is WAY over the top, but I agree /w the point.

Gotta love the security question to access NORAD.

The cartoon make a good point, the US government basically gives some in Saudi Arabia sanctions but did not really go after the source of the problem. Man, it sounded like that journalist was butchered and disposed of in a fashion that you would expect in “Goodfellas” or an episode of “The Sopranos”. Petroleum still talks in the Biden administration.

The relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia is long-standing.

Halla Barakat and her mother, Orouba Barakat, Turkish nationals who covered Syria, murdered in Turkey in 2017. American journalist Marie Colvin and French photographer Rémi Ochlik murdered in Syria last week by Syrian army troops. There will be no ramifications when U.S. geopolitical interests are at stake.

Use the sternly-worded but mispelt letter Tramp sent as a format, then imprison some more feral immigrant children- unless they’re geniuses, like Melonia.

Yep, Rall, what would you do about the Chinese and their growing influence in the region? I’m wondering about this one.

Bernie would have done the same

Military contracts are more important than the odd journalist. Or, evidently the 3000 odd that died when the Trade Center was taken down back in 2001

Wasn’t that on Trump’s watch? What did he do?

Bomb Saudi Arabia !

Sure Ted; we need decisive action like the killing by drone of the acting chief executive of Saudi Arabia. Might as well take out the former guy’s good buddy Putin while we’re at it. Any other manly proposals you think we need to enact?

Just a replay of the U.S. response when this happened two years ago…

In Capitalists countries, Money is always above Life by definition. Those Capitalists countries who want to pretend otherwise bamboozle you.

I agree, Theodore. It’s a damn shame Bernie’s not handling the situation.

Nothing says I Care more than Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Call 1 800 joe biden for overnight delivery[not available in all areas] see Vice President for details and a F-15 E near you.

Or, we could sell them some armaments so they can help establish peace in Yemen………..

I agree with it, too. It’s just too damn bad that Saudi Arabia is so important to the world economy and the Middle East’s balance of power. If Iran would just collapse and the planet converted to renewable energy, we could simply tell the Saudis to go to hell.

Politics aside, panel three is hilarious.

Sometimes Ted hits the spot. Like here.
