In Russian colloquial usage, сука (suka: bitch) has a somewhat different meaning than it does in American slang usage. Like the Commonwealth usage of “cunt”, it applies to men, too! That is, it doesn’t just apply to noisome females… a suka in Russian is more like the English “son of a bitch” or “scumbag” (making it a synonym/cognate of the Commonwealth “cunt”). For instance, after the VOV, there were the Suka Wars (Bitch Wars) in the labour camps, where the vori (“thieves in law”) squared off against the suki (criminals who’d served in the forces during the VOV). It was so bad that the camps had to segregate the suki from the vori. If you call a man a suka, you insult him mightily… them be fightin’ words, chum.
It’s clear what the cartoonist’s intent is… in his eyes, the Ukraine is only a scumbag hireling of the USA, one which the Americans themselves hold in contempt. “I got this bitch on the cheap!” Even the Americans don’t believe that the Ukraine can do Russia lasting (or even momentary) harm. The Americans don’t care if the Ukraine lives or dies… it’s momentarily useful, and that’s that. It’s a scathing comment on the Anglo American mentality… I tend to agree, and I’m NOT alone…

This cartoon dates from 2008… it could’ve been drawn yesterday! However, Russia is stronger now, and the alliance with China grows tighter by the day (the USA can’t keep its big mouth shut about Hong Kong… the Chinese ARE going to win, the Americans can do nothing of it). The West has lost, but it hasn’t realised it yet… especially, the neocon perverts. Their clients in the Ukraine fucked up royally… do note that the neocons don’t protest the atrocities and war crimes in Novorossiya one little bit… just as they overlooked Croat war crimes… just as they overlooked Bosnian war crimes… just as they overlooked Kosovar war crimes… just as they overlooked Islamist war crimes in Syria… just as they overlooked war crimes in Libya. I see a pattern here. The neocons have blood dripping from their hands and they cackle maniacally.
The neocons are evil to the bone and those who support them drink deeply of that evil. That’s the long and the short of it all…
