This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

First cartoon: “Our Position Hasn’t Changed at All,” Herblock, 1965.

Second cartoon: “Asia,” Herblock, 1968, ©A 1968 Herblock Cartoon, copyright The Herb Block Foundation.

What is ironic about Johnson’s statement?

What is Uncle Sam doing in the second cartoon? What does this tell

you about the U.S. government’s war effort?

Taken together, what do the two cartoons tell you about the U.S.

war effort in Vietnam?

Answer:

The first cartoon shows President Johnson saying “Our Position Hasn’t Changed at All,” to an advisor while they are riding up the "Viet-Nam escalator".

The irony lays on the fact that After the government maintained that there had been no change in policy, despite the announcement of a possible direct attack over Vietnam, and the eventual approval by Johnson of the escalation.

The second cartoon shows Uncle Sam, raising his rifle over his head while moving into the swamp that represents Southeast Asia with an expression of worry on his face, which represents the American concern and vacillation about Johnson´s war policies.

Explanation:

Taken together, the cartoons represent the government´s failure to get Americans on board with the continuity and escalation of the war effort in Vietnam, as the fight had reached a stalemate that made them doubt about the worthiness of the military actions, and Johnson´s actions and speeches were no longer trustworthy.

What point is Roosevelt trying to make in this<br> speech?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

This is part of a radio speech delivered by President Roosevelt in December 1940 (this was the second year in WWII, and the US was still neutral in the conflict).

He aimed to convince the audience about the necessity of ensuring a safe defense strategy for Great Britain, so that they were able to avoid the German invasion and resist the many attacks they were suffering.

Apart from the ideological fight against nazism, Roosevelt highlighted how if GB fell, the last territory in the Atlantic, before reaching the US, would have been conquered. That would pose a direct threat on the US. Therefore, he supported the idea that GB should remain free at any cost.
