Thank you, Dosamuno! I’m downloading this now. When I was growing up, and would think about those bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I saw it as a single, horrific incident that I wished we could erase. How little I knew! Here we are, with so many atrocities added to our history, ongoing as we speak.
Thanks, Dosamuno, what a great quote! I hear you about being very frightened - we are in the pathetically bad hands of seemingly stupid psychopaths! Have to shut down somewhat about terrible scenarios that may occur in the future just to get through the day!
It's like Groundhog Day, with a touch of deja vu, all over again - Iraq (mk 11 - the 'WMD' one), Iraq (mk 1 - the first Bush one), Afghanistan, Vietnam (and Laos and Cambodia), and too many Central and Latin American wars (most by proxy) to count. The Cold War, too, for that matter. I was around for all of these disasters and here we are again- war by proxy against Russia. Guess we'll just have to scream louder this time.

VERY powerful and appropriate update to Edvard Munch's "The Scream"!
Thank you, Brek! I wasn’t thinking of the scream at first, but it hit me as I was drawing this that I was in the same vein as Munch.

Everyone in the United States and the EU needs to read this.
I share your angst.
We all should.

Hi Anne,
In Joyce's ULYSSES, Stephen Dedelas says,
“History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”
The past is indeed a nightmare.
Right now, like the human face in your drawing, I'm very frightened of an imminent oblivion.
The name of him is almost dead last
Not sure wha this means. The name of whom?
Me

I have a poll clink link to my substack, last I saw entirely one sided response on this same matter.
Please take the one question poll
Done.
I took it as soon as I saw it, and was pleased, but not surprised, to see the 100% anti-war sentiment.
I am ex military.
I always thought we were the good guys.
I now have serious doubts.

Weapons are the #1 industrial export for the US - so it stands to reason that endless war is a foreign policy goal. We need a sea change, NOW!!!
Why are some of the speakers at the anti-war protest tied to Russian funding? Doesn't that seem sketchy?
