So I started thinking, based on the IDW take on Joe, what happens when it is finally acknowledged by Joe leadership (specifically Hawk) and therefore US leadership that Cobra exists? Would it not stand to reason that a General that steadfastly denied the existance of this wide spread, global terrorist outfit (and even threatened to execute members of his own unit for trying to uncover the truth) would be summarily dismissed once the truth became known?
This could make for a very interesting storline no matter what direction they go but I am curious if anyone else has thought about this. I mean, if I were the President, and I had an elite fighting force that was supposed to protect the US (and by extension US allies) from terrorism, I'd be pretty pissed if this unit's leadership missed the existance of a massive terrorist organization with trillions in assets, despite some (maybe flimsy but some) evidence to the contrary. Thoughts? |

How does cobra end up with trillions in assets and America has trillions in debt? Especially with all the wacky inventions cobra has "deployed" over the years that boggle the mind and break the laws of physics? Just a side note. I haven't read the new comic, so i'm not sure what you are referencing. Sorry.

my theroy on why hawk won't acknowlegde the cobra threat is because it's not really hawk.i think it maybe zartan posing as hawk.if it truely is hawk,he might be reporting all possible cobra activity to his higher up's and they keep telling him it's something else.like most good soliders he's just following orders.

I think Hawk is just echoing the 'company line' his superiors are feeding him.

Come on, the United States national budget is three trillion dollars. There is no way cobra could ever have that type of money. That is a staggering amount of money. Cobra wouldn't even need to worry about world domination if it had that amount of money. They would have already won. Time to retire.
Does the comic really say they have trillions in assets?

you cant hold the man accountable for simply wanting to keep his men in line!
Mainframe went crazy trying to prove there was a world-wide terror conspiracy according to what we've seen (he was right but they dont know that yet). Then Snake Eyes drops off the radar and goes AWOL and now Scarlett is using Joe resources to pilot her own private ops and with-holding intel from comand....Id be pissed off too if I where Hawk. |

May turn out that Hawk knew the whole time. Cobra could have been part of one of the many "special projects" he worked on that know one else know about and it cot out of hand. It will make it an interesting read as the pace picks up.
