  1. I like the comic book format. Good piece.

  2. Interesting approach with a comic art but the headline was a tad misleading as the comic’s payoff indicated.
    Putin would be a fool to back out of a situation where Russia appears to be an equal with the US and to ensure their cooperation the US should hint about building an L4 or L5 cislunar station on its own.
