    Why don’t presidents fight in wars? Why do they always send the poor?

      Zelensky has done a fine job getting directly involved, imo.

        TBH this is a case where hiding away makes sense. Russia absolutely wants him dead, and his value rallying Western support alone is pivotal. Even dehumanized, he’s a strategic asset.

        I wouldn’t imagine he lives a particularly luxurious life, either, even if its a very expensive one.

        Getting directly involved in publicity photo shoots, that is.

      There are definitely some wars I’d much rather were just MMA death fights between the PM’s and presidents.

      And others where I’m glad they aren’t, because the country whose victory would be best for the common good is led by someone who would not win a physical fight.

      The warrior-king model certainly had its own flaws, but at least when the king declared war, he picked up a sword and fought.

  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
