If I had to pick between getting subjugated by brutal foreign invaders and being killed in a nuclear blast, the nukes look pretty attractive.

But empirically, nukes don't lead to nuclear war but to cold wars instead of hot (regular) wars. Ask the Ukrainians about that, bet they regret giving their nukes away. Nuclear disarmament would be nice, but what are the chances that USA, Russia and China give away their nukes and don't just make more?

Admittedly, as America’s situation deteriorated and state governments begin to step up, I was reminded of the Victory Bonds that arose during World War 2.

Of course, any such bond would have to come with a bet - that we end up victorious.

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.
