A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

This one is actually a Soviet cartoon from the 80's. Still true though. The caption says (paraphrased)
"I'll be back to give you (mujahideen) more weapons, but first I have to swoop back to give UNITA some more missiles!"

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

This is pre-WWII. You can sort of tell from the sketch style, from thee way it refers to Japan (Japan in the 1950s was still rebuilding from WWII), the spelling of Tokyo, lots of details. Nothing obvious... except that the upper right hand corner of the page reads "November 1931." --- Simon_Jester

El Moose Monstero: That would be the winning song at Eurovision. I still say the Moldovans were more fun. And that one about the Apricot Tree.
That said...it is growing on me.
Thanas: It is one of those songs that kinda get stuck in your head so if you hear it several times, you actually grow to like it.
General Zod: It's the musical version of Stockholm syndrome.

This isn't what you think it is at first glance :)

Spoiler
This cartoon ended up being a bit subtle for some readers. I have already heard from Obama supporters confused by the punchline. It is not really about North Korea. It is targeting the crazy right-wingers, Tea Partiers and Birthers who believe Obama is as much of a threat as someone like Kim Jong Il.
