My favourite buildings are the Twin Towers, so yeah. 9/11 was so important historically. I am kinda sad that the new buildings have not been rebuilt (yet). Or I have never seen the Twin Towers in person or stay in the hotel next to them.
It could be more a comment on what Herblock might've considered Bush's reckless approach to foreign policy, rather than just Boo Hoo Hoo Poor Little Putin.
The message is that the US is maintaining its superpower status over Europe and weakening Russia by raising tensions through Europe and NATO despite Russian and European attempts to negotiate reducing tensions
Putin was always a rat bastard. He made several false flags with the Chechen rebels and allowed a fanatical Islamist government to come to be in charge there even though he murdered countless innocent Russians when gassing them in the botched Moscow theater hostage crisis.

Absolutely mad that Herblock's career started before the Great Depression; 1928 to 2001.
Minus WW1, his cartoons cover all of the Short 20th Century, the era I got to specialise in.

This can be interpreted in many different ways, with or without "Putin".
Herblock has seen a lot since the 1920s.
based and relevant pilled
Herblock always is.
Gee I wonder what the repercussions of this policy might be a couple of decades down the line
Or even 15 days
Clown world. The decline of the Russian economy due to sanctions started in 2014, and was entirely Putin's fault.
Obviously nothing bad! Especially if the big stick guy actually needs anything or finds themselves in the other end of the equation. :)

Everyone's always picking on the poor authoritarians and making them do stuff : (

America’s unwillingness to facilitate Russia’s entry into the western led order is what is being critiqued here…
No one in 2001 would have called Putin an authoritarian
Ye, USA treading through world like it owns it, has it ever done anything bad to anyone?
That mantra rings true even to this day
What’s the message / specific reference here? Pro or anti the US being a super power?

Boop
This dude could have made a comic about Shrek
"Might makes right," has always been the Root Cause of most of the evil the USA has spread throughout the world
Holds up to this day
I feel like the idea that hubris is an English disease should be expanded to be an "Anglo" disease.
It's a Greek disease, which you can tell because "hubris" is a Greek word.

Not what the poster is about
This is from 2001. Think about Bush's foreign policy would ya?
