Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- 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).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Why don't presidents fight in wars? Why do they always send the poor?
Bc people are so stupid, they believe in nationalism and are easy to manipulate
The warrior-king model certainly had its own flaws, but at least when the king declared war, he picked up a sword and fought.
Zelensky has done a fine job getting directly involved, imo.

Oh now that's a throwback!
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.
