all i can see is a failed image link the image is essentially the ever-late comic of a teeny North Korea's Kim Jong-un running up and plopping a broken missile on the US' "foot" but you probably already saw that one. It's just that comic with an added frame of a gigantic boot with the hammer & sickle on it and the US soldier looks spooked and to be honest it's pretty silly because the US shouldn't really have anything to fear regardless if the Russian army's larger or not

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
I'm not 100% up date to date on Russia's current political situation but I think that A(They haven't been communist for a while, ya know, a few years and B( They would be helping the US if NK went to war with us.
Comic editor is moron

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
Hasn't Russia like, not even been a threat since the Cold War? I think the only reason Russia still has this image of being a looming threat is because Hollywood and video games keep going to Russia as their big bad for some reason.

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
Really the new panel should be a massive China (almost double the military size of the US) facepalming while NK gets stepped on by the US, or perhaps kicked aside for a more PG comic

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
China has a larger military size but their military spending is almost 4.5x lower than the US'. The US could pretty well out-do them, which means they could pretty much out-do anyone as the lead in military technology of the world.

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
Any country that possesses nuclear weapons can be considered a threat, in that it could actually do damage to America if it could risk plunging the world into radioactive hell.
Speaking as a Russian with family extant in Siberia, nobody would care if the United States invaded the DPRK; they're just as eager to carve up North Korean territory as the United States, and Russia has been on bad terms with China since more or less forever.

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
We spend a ridiculous amount on military here
For example: the largest air force in the world is the United States Air Force
The second largest air force in the world?
The United States Navy

The RCFS (Royal Canadian Flying Squirrels) has a proud military history, they gained fame, or rather infamy, among German troops in WWII for their rapid small scale hit and run tactics that plagued German supply lines throughout the war. they eventually became known as "das fliegende Chaos"

I think Italy actually has the oldest air force.

Re: Image Dump (Caution Lots of Images)
Nah, the RAF is. It is is the worlds oldest independent air force. As in, one that isn't a subdivision of the army or navy, but rather a whole section of the armed forces. It was made when the Royal Flying Corps, the army's own air group and the Royal Naval Air Service, which was the navy's air units.
Bamn, air force.
