    panel 2… Do You really want that bloodied nose.?
    how did that line go…?
    “December 7th 1941, is a day that will live in
    Infamy!”.!
    you think you will fair better..? “This time?”

      Yeah, I had hopes, but that line “I have diplomatic immunity!”
      sealed his fate. And proves once again that stupid never
      learns. diplomatic immunity is dependent on what your
      government and theirs say, it’s not a free pass. When you
      pulled that, you were burnt toast! Ready for the scraping?
      Here, they can use my butter knife.

    Oh, I was right! A fight between them will shut up
    that old hag, more so since she has no IDEA just
    how powerful the Empire is. Bloody is right!
    It wouldn’t take more than a day to turn their
    military bases to dust.

    Welp, that settles it, stupid he is, and will learn
    what stupid gets. I had hopes, but for naught.
    Svetlana, just wait until you meet the spider folk,
    You’ll love ’em! That is, once you stop
    screaming… 😉

    My car got robbed late last night or early this morning. About 04:30
    our doorbell rang. It was a neighbor telling me that the liftgate on
    my 2013 Highlander was wide open. Apparently I had forgotten to lock
    the car doors when we made a shopping run Thursday afternoon. They
    were smart enough to figure out to unlatch the scooter lift. They
    didn’t take our 2 extra large Walmart reusable shopping bags or the
    two insulated bags but they pretty much cleaned us out otherwise!
    They took my nice power hydraulic jack and impact wrench kit along
    with a nice road-side tool kit with warning reflectors. That was all
    stored in the very back. They also got in the passenger side front
    door and took a little GPS unit I don’t use any more. They must not
    have been interested in burglarizing the house because all they
    would have had to do was use the remote on the driver’s side. {sigh}
    I just feel so violated. That is the 2nd time my car has been
    burglarized since we built the house in 97. I guess that’ll teach me
    to always lock the car up when I come home.

      for me it a few years ago… and it was the neighbor kid (17)…
      because of work,, all my tools are marked. so 3 days later kid
      is working on his car (street racer) with my plainly marked tools,
      i called the cops and they said “So”…. so i was arrested for
      beating up the neighbor…

      I feel for you Bill, it’s damned frustrating for sure! The
      major town my wife and were living in before we moved
      here was bad for that, I forgot to lock the passenger
      door on the tired car we had and someone got in, emptied
      the change I had in the cup holder, and stole a $5 car
      charger for the cell phone. Pointless.
      Cracks me up, these punks they are SO convinced they are
      bad ass, while I grew up in/near one of thee WORST cities
      in the nation, they get white faced when I mention it.

    Panel 5 – I think this is the first time Svetlana has been identified
    as a minor. As if rape alone isn’t bad enough, he did it to a child!

    Panels 1 & 2 – Didn’t you guys learn anything from WWII? Also,
    are you totally ignorant of what happened in Romania during the
    attempted coup, and more recently to the Grand Poofty, et al? Do
    you really think the Wolf Empire couldn’t wipe you from the face of
    the earth if they wanted to go scorched earth on your asses?

    Panel 4 – I’ll admit, I have no idea what PC has up his sleeves on
    this one.

    Re the “promise” in P2: Yeah, lady, we all know how that worked
    out in the 1940’s! When I was stationed in Japan ’79 – ’82 we
    got translations of articles in Japanese newspapers that referred
    to the U.S. or our troops stationed there. In ’81 we had a change
    of command ceremony for the commander of 5th Air Force and
    all U.U. forces in Japan. The troops formed up in class As (the
    Dark blue blouse with light blue shirt and strato blue tie) on the
    ramp. It was 120° on that ramp. Anyhow there were 3 generals
    involved – outgoing 1star, incoming 1 star and presiding 2
    star. Generals love to talk. There we were in those hot uniforms
    in close interval ranks in 120° high humidity and NO breeze!
    (Tokyo can be stifling at times.) All totalled 3 dozen troops
    passed out (including yours truly) with over a dozen requiring
    hospitalization for heat stroke! A few days later the digest of
    Japanese papers had a piece that mentioned “a certain
    weakness in American troops”. I wanted to send a letter to the
    editor of that paper to say something like, “Yeah! Our troops
    are so ‘weak’ that there is a U.S. Army Garrison Honshu and
    NOT an Imperial Army Garrison San Francisco!” I wanted to
    but didn’t.

      Traditionally, the greatest “weakness” of soldiers
      in any military has been their leadership.

      I feel it is common for leaders to get cocky and think
      they can’t be beaten, so they get prideful and don’t
      think things through as they once did, add in the fact
      they are safe behind the lines, rather than in the thick
      of it, they get careless. Instead of thinking “what if
      they do this” they’ll think “their not as smart as me,
      they’ll never think of that!” And then bad things
      happen.

    I know Amilu is likely there supporting her spouses, but she is also
    a reminder that “all of Asia” will never be Japanese without war with
    the Empire since Nepal and at least a sizeable chunk of the Indian
    subcontinent is part of the Wolf Empire.

      Amillu is the military attaché Madea referred
      to in the previous page.
      To stall for time as Miral requested,
      she just went into the hall to sit and wait.

    The rape took place in the Ambassador’s aides “quarters”. Wasn’t
    that within the Embassy? That would make it Imperial territory and
    Imperial jurisdiction, Imperial law. Claiming diplomatic immunity
    is stupid. Cooperation with the Russians is all to the good, it’s a
    Russian citizen, but the Empire doesn’t tolerate rape, at all.

    I still say that there’s more to this Jeffery/Svetlana debacle than PC is telling us
    (for now).
    The way I’m reading this (from the POV of one who was stationed in W Germany in the late 70s
    and was “trained” in the wiles of WWII Communist espionage).
    Lenore “arrested” Jeffery, not for crimes committed, but to save him from a “honey pot” trap
    and being “turned” into a Russian agent. (makes me wonder what access Jeffery had to Imperial
    Embassy classified material?). Also to set up a “sting” against Svetlana without tipping Imperial plans
    to the Russians.
    SO far, we haven’t yet heard Jeffery’s side of the story.
    I’m thinking that he had NO idea to Svetlana’s real age (phony ID).
    Svetlana drugged herself (known dosage and effects so as to show on a tox screen, but not interfere
    with personal activities. Maybe she also drugged Jeffery? Does he have any REAL memories of that
    night? Or just “memories” “implanted/suggested/coerced” from him by his interrogators?
    The woman in TGW 1340 P7 & P8 is Svetlana’s “handler”, and was about to become Jeffery’s “handler”,
    “we have the goods on you, now work for us, or else….”

    But, as usual, the cat sayeth nothing…..for now.

      I hate to admit it but I think you
      countered every one of my arguments.
      This is in fact possible.
      Dunno if it’s what PC has planned,
      but it’s possible.

      That was along the lines of what I was thinking, not everything
      is “cut and dried” like that, and I know how PC likes to add the
      twist at the last minute! For all we know, the Aid may have been
      in on it from the start. Let her think she accomplished her task
      and get careless. She may have drugged herself when about to
      leave so she’d have it in her system.

    Panel 2, the old guy next to Robert is looking mad,
    but the old gal next to him is smiling! A clue!
    Things are afoot there too.

      Panel 2, gal is pissed off, old guy seems a bit pleased.
      They switch facial expressions when Miral bursts in and
      makes her demand.

    Panel 3 – Is Amillu with child?
    Or merely leaning back in the
    chair at an odd angle?

      Yes.
