Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "What Is HIMARS? An Infographic"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"What Is HIMARS? An Infographic"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3462


"No more mixing Molotovs, bitches — we're in the big leagues, now!"
— Feisty Little Old Ladies all over Ukraine

"What is HIMARS?" asked an Al Jazeera "Explainer" feature about a week 
or so back, and it actually got me seriously wondering... what IS the 
High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System? I mean, like — what exactly the 
hell goes into this beast? Didn't take much searching and reading to 
reach the answer fairly quickly — our COVID relief, our universal 
healthcare, our minimum wage raise, our student debt cancellation, our 
eviction moratorium...

...and with that in mind, to clear up all the brouhaha about these 
death factories we're selling to the Nazi-infested Ukrainian state, I 
offer this meticulous infographic, precisely labeled, detailing the 
features of this helping hand we're extending to all those feisty 
little old Ukrainian ladies hunkered down in their basements, mixing 
up the Molotovs and learning how to handle an AK.

So, next time inflation starts to bite a little, think of those little 
old ladies, Stand With Ukraine, and don't complain too loudly about 
the baby formula shortage, the cost of groceries, the electric bill — 
and whatever the hell you do, DON'T complain about the price of 
gasoline, ya' fifth-column losers.
