Guy in the bottom right of the thumbnail looks like Tim Robinson.

He’s even making the Tim face that he’s always making.

Pretty sure that’s a scene from Dr. Strangelove.

Yep, they are in the war room.

Where there’s to be no fighting

It’s George C. Scott playing General Turgidson.

Hmm, and who lost in Vietnam?

NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io on 04 Apr 15:57 next collapse

America, but Vietnam (and Laos, and Cambodia) is still feeling the destructive impacts to this day.

Yeah, they’re saying all the same dumbass things that came out of Rumsfeld and McNamara’s mouths.

The upside is no one believes them. The downside is both ruling parties support this war, if not in word than in deed, so we’ll probably be at war there for the next 20 years.

Well, that’s certainly Trump’s style, since he’s never had an original thought.

Everything he says is a rehash of the stupidest ideas and cliches of the past 100 years.
