Doomwar #6

James Rhodes – I can’t believe you used that moron for something this important.  Who’s your Secretary of State?  Borat?

Shuri – T’Challa — A direct attack against Latveria will start a war, and we’ll look like the aggressors.  Everyone will align against us.

and

Shuri – Remember your heritage, T’Challa.  Wakanda does not start wars.

and

Hank Pym – Yeah, well your country’s been involved in one political mess after another, so your credibility is in the crapper.  If they could fire ’em, half the nukes on the planet would be inbound to your doorstep.

and

Shuri – I want to kill you more than I’ve wanted anything else in my life.  But that is the action of a savage, and I am the ruler of a sovereign nation.  A nation that does not wage illegal wars….

Iron Man: Legacy #5

Secretary General – … next the chair welcomes the Honorable Mr. David, Minister for Foreign Affairs for Grenada, addressing climate change–

Dr. Doom – United Nations.  I am not a member of your laughably impotent organization.  Nor do I recognize its — or any authority — over me.  But I trust the world’s degenerate for-profit news media even less.  So I choose to inform you via one-way sonogram that due to the crush of Romani refugees overwhelming Latveria’s borders… and the countless atrocities perpetrated against my people by the Slav paramilitaries, which you have shamefully turned a blind eye too… Latveria engages in a preemptive invasion of Transia as we speak.  And not long after this message is received… the annexation should be a fait accompli.

DoomWar #5

Reed – We have nothing that is actionable in world court.  To invade Latveria without substantive proof would be an act of war.

T’Challa – I don’t care about proving it, Reed.  This has gone too far to play politics.

X-Campus #1

Professor Magnus – Democracy is a misunderstanding but it’s not up tp us to make people see that!

Captain America #605

Captain UnAmerican – You really don’t see, do you?  This country’s at war, and most of you don’t even know it.  And I’m not talking about the Middle East, I’m talking right here in America.  I don’t even recognize this place anymore, and you shouldn’t either.

G.I. Joe #155 1/2

Zartan – They managed to get right up to the steps of the Capitol, where they read their manifesto… the usual clap-trap about abolishing the Federal Government and taxes, deregulating darn-near everything, and instituting a completely unfettered free-market economy.

the Invincible Iron Man #25

Justine Hammer – A quarter of a million Euros of expense to create an autonomous, anonymous, asymmetrical declaration of war.

Iron Man/Thor

Scientist – The moon is the new Club Med, the new Monaco, the new Dubai.

Tony Stark – Yeah, Dubai’s not doing so hot these days.

and

Tony Stark – Ever hear the expression that you go to war with the army you’ve got?

and

Scientist – This is a sovereign state!  You’re trespassing on private property!

The Last Days of American Crime #2

Paul – …the anniversary of the day of infamy, when six American cities fell victim to cowards with dirty bombs.  We lost ten million humans, Nancy.  You and your elitist “progressives” would prefer what, that we continue to live with those types of threats constantly hanging over our heads?

Nancy – You hold this anniversary up as a justification for mind control?  There is no such thing as security, Paul.

Avengers: The Initiative #28

The Hood – Arizona’s out.  Too friendly with the targets. And California’s a bunch of left bleedin’ hearts.  We could try Washington, or Montana…

and

Victoria Hand – Butterball… what can I say?  He’s a surprise hit.  Middle America loves him.

Norman Osborn – Of course.  He’s fat and stupid.  Just like them.

Dark Reign: The List – X-Men

Victoria Hand – But… Director Osborn– Why?  There’s no strategic or political or military virtue in–

Norman Osborn – Because Namor screwed me over!  So now he gets a message!  Nobody does what he does and gets away clean.  Revenge doesn’t need strategic or military virtue.

Uncanny X-Men #515

Namor – Is this place… a refugee camp?  A reservation?  Are you a hotel, a hostel, a fortress?  Perhaps a compound.  Or a sovereign state…?

Hank McCoy – Or a prison.

and

Professor X – No jetpack this time?

Cyclops – You want to save the jetpack for big entrances, Charles.  Besides, we’re trying to convince the U.S. we’re not a bigger threat than Castro — We can settle for the unspectacular.

G.I. Joe #0

Chuckles – Never trust a Communist.  Even one who’s turned Capitalist.

Air #3

Narimar Representative – Narimar is a soveriegn nation now.  We have no quarrel with either of our neighbors —  We want only to be left in peace.

British Representative – A sovereign nation?  Narimar was a British colony for a century and befor that a part of India–

Narimar Representative – Lies.  Narimar never submitted to Indian rule.  We were a country of our own, recognized by the Kings of the nations of the Earth–

British Representative – Enough history, Jaraband.  We need to speak in maps and boundries.

DC Universe: Decisions #3

Huntress – But, if you had to go on record, whose ring do you throw your far too-stylish hat into?  Who’s your candidate?

Black Canary – Oh, it’s Brewster.  No contest.

Huntress – Really? Not Kate McClellan?

Black Canary – You mean “support the sisterhood,” gender solidarity and all that?

Huntress –  Yeah.  She’s the first woman with a real shot at the White House.

Black Canary -My vote’s too important to waste on an “it’s our time” symbolic gesture.  We aren’t electing a role model.  We’re electing a national leader.  And believe me, Davis Brewster is the leader we need right now.  Period.

Uncanny X-Men #503

Sam Guthrie – Did you know that it’s only been since the National Voting Rights Act of 1965 that African-Americans have been able to vote free from discriminatory practices?  It’s true.  Here’s to equality and tolerance, and funny old sayings your meemaw used to say that you don’t realize are kinda racist until it gets pointed out to you in a bar…

Guardians of the Galaxy #6

Skrull – We are followers of the martyr Anelle.  We deplore the aggressive tendencies of our mind.  The jihadist hardcore want us dead for our opposition to their schemes of conquest.
