Robert Ariail for November 12, 2022

Just like in an American election, “R” means reverse, and tends to be adorned with the Russian flag.

Here’s hoping that we will see lots of dead orcs

It’s been decades since I’ve driven a standard shift. Could this cartoon miss those who never drove a standard shift?

Russia has no business invading ukraine

Get out of there!

Russia is occupying less and less land but attacking cities and infrastructure in unoccupied Ukraine. It must be taking incredible restraint for Ukraine to not retaliate on military targets, roads and rails leading into their narion.

And keep it there!

Well done, on several levels.

How much longer will folks recognize the gear pattern for what it is?

OK, Robert. Please explain.

The retreat from Kherson certainly shows Putin in reverse. One wonders how long the rest of the supposed government of Russia will tolerate it.

One of Russia’s key figures dubbed “Putin’s Brain” has called for President Vladimir Putin to be toppled and hinted he should even be killed after Moscow’s humiliating defeat in Kherson.

Ultra-right-wing nationalist Alexander Dugin has become the first major Russian to break silence over growing disgust at Putin’s failed Ukraine invasion.

But worryingly, the 60-year-old fascist strategist is thought to be part of a growing body of Moscow elite calling for Putin to escalate in Ukraine and sees Kherson as a massive blow to Russian pride.

Soon after he posted his outburst on Telegram, furious over the Kherson retreat and fears of many Russians killed there, his tirade against Putin was removed.

putin and the military leaders of Russia don’t know how to drive a stick shift and can’t get it out of reverse
