Because the hippos ate all the corn
Libs be like: “look at this heartwarming display of empathy and human connection 🥰”
Everything about this is wrong. Literally every single fucking thing.
Also cannot help noticing it's the black dude with his legs blown off at the VA but it's Lt. Colonel Gruff Whiteman on the front lines with his valiant Ukrainian compatriot who is totally not a Nazi (don't show them without their shirts on though).
Actually never mind that part is pretty spot on...
And what did I do to deserve having to look at this?
Concentrated liberalism coming straight into your veins 
Panel 1: Nazis
Panel 2: graciously giving brown people food after destabilizing their country
Panel 3: war criminals getting what they deserve
Panel 4: just two assholes
Panel 2 is making people dependent on food aid actually, it's not even hypocritical it's straight up evil
Pictured: No Actual Empathy
Figure 1: conspiring against oppressed people in Europe
Figure 2: conspiring against oppressed people in Africa
Figure 3: conspiring against oppressed people in Asia
Figure 4: conspiring against oppressed people in the Americas

The day that liberals fear the idea of praising US vets and imperialism is the day the planet truly heals
Hey why not show Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans, Palestinians, Venezuelans and Cubans?
Heck, during hurricane Katrina Venezuela and Cuba TRIED to exercise empathy and help. I wonder how we're treating them right now.
As if western civilization as a global power has ever shown any meaningful amount of empathy, never mind enough to be considered a weakness. Fucking goof.
enlightened USAID worker helping the poor African
Back in 2014, Mark Ames wrote an article for the now-defunct Pando that details the exact sort of things USAID and their man Dan Mitrione got up to in Uruguay back in ‘69, training death squads to deal with Tupamaro rebels. This involved demonstrating torture techniques to Uruguayan police by dragging random homeless people off the street and exposing them to electroshock torture to their mouths and genitals until they died.
Mitrione taught local police specialized forms of electroshock torture, introducing wires so thin they could fit between the teeth and gums. He also demonstrated drugs that induced violent vomiting fits, and advised on psychological tortures, such as playing tapes of a woman and child screaming in a room next to the interrogation room, and telling the detainee those are his wife and child. And it was all done under the aegis of USAID.

Such a massive self-own. It's clearly saying that empathy is used as a tool to push US interests. Even if you take it the most liberal way possible, what Musk calls "weakness" is lack of hegemonic power, so they're clearly saying "Elon is wrong, empathy is what we use to keep our world dominance"
Right? And sooo maudlin
What sort of Obama speechwriter needed to do something that obnoxious for all three "counterexamples"?
These are the more effective forms of US imperialism.
Thank you, you made my day even worse.
