Award-winning cartoonist Bob Lang has returned to SOFREP, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Bob’s offering today channels the ghost of the great Theodore Roosevelt, placing him on a gunboat in the Panama Canal, clearly stating that ole’ TR’s policy is firmly in line with Trump’s.

Lang’s visual wit draws a straight line from Roosevelt’s imperial swagger to contemporary American force projection.

Lest I overexplain, it’s a sharp, satirical take on Trump-era naval posturing and hints at echoes of gunboat diplomacy.
