I'm not getting the metaphor at all here

The best I can come up with is that they are both behaving inappropriately in slightly different ways? The alternatives would seem out of character for this comic.

Im not totally sure either. I think the message is that a lot of countries / groups wanted something to be done about Iran but while they were discussing it Trump just pulled a leroy jenkins on that shit and now they're mad about it.

[–] vonxylofon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but replacing it was indeed the right thing. What Trump did is debatable at best and wrong in most interpretations.

I mean, Iran of all countries probably shouldn't have nuclear weapons. It's everything else that's fucked up about this.

This will 100% ensure they get nukes as fast as they possibly can, when they weren'ttrying to make them before

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 13 hours ago

You can't just make nukes because you want to just like that, it takes a huge amount of resources that's kinda hard to hide from foreign intelligence. Chances are better than even that they were already trying to do that anyway, and it doesn't seem like it has worked out so well for them.

Hum... I'd put good odds in they getting some now.

It appears that their nuclear weapons program has just been destroyed, where would they get nukes from anytime soon? I suppose Israel and USA could be lying about hitting anything (but not about Iran having a nuclear weapons program), but that doesn't seem that likely.

It's not a good cartoon.
