• Character 1: "There’s a new cold war brewing. You know what you get with a new cold war? More space spending! More aviation spending! More awesome submarines!"

Panel 3:

• Character 2: "But during the last cold war we spent huge sums on war machinery that isn’t even useful for war anymore. Arms buildups and fear led to proxy wars that consumed millions of lives. Earth got to the brink of nuclear annihilation like… a dozen times?"
