Almost Easter. Here’s the cartoon I did last year to mark the occasion.
Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

One of the best things about Brexit is how we left a power-block in which we had a veto and a vote and a large soft power reputation and a real say in it's policy and outcomes.
And now, instead, we have to do whatever the mad king in America wants. Bomb whoever he wants. Let him store his weapons and his bombs here. Fly his airplanes on our runways. Pay whatever tariff on trade he demands, accept his hormone ridden meat and unsanitary chicken processes.
And we have less say in it all than Puerto Rico, much less than any actual full blown state.
We ceded control of the EU to Germany, just abandoned any say in what happens there for no reason at all, and are left begging treats from a powerful clown's table like a yapping little toy dog.
The final step down the power-escalator, from empire to now less say in world affairs than Austria or Finland which at least have EU voting rights and members in the EU parliament.
Now just airport 1, a runway which the US uses as it pleases and no say in anything.
What a move from England, absolute masterclass of dim witted self destructive spite. Couldn't hope for a better example. Textbook. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
"Military Commander Tells Troops Bombing Iran Is ‘Part Of God’s Divine Plan’
One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said."
The US is being run by a religious cult. And they have access to nuclear weapons.

Now consider how the world would react if ANYBODY were to bomb America and murder Americans and American children, with the excuse that "Trump is evil and Republicans must be overthrown".
While we all agree with that, nobody would ever consider that would justify the bombing of a (white) nation.
So why is it so easy for some to completely suspend any rational sense of humanity to justify bombing Iran's capital, killing in just one example well over 100 out of only 170 people from just one single girls school out of countless other targets, with the exact same justification?
The answer is chillingly simple: Islamophobia. Hate and division which allows us to see other people as "not people".
If this had anything to do with expelling "evil leaders" then the same justification could be used to bomb the US. The same justification could be used …

Prime Minister Carney's statement on this matter reeks of racism.

"“The imminent threat🚨was that we knew that if #Iran was attacked, & we believed they would be attacked, that they'd immediately come after us, & we were not going to sit, sit there & absorb a blow before we responded” -Rubio."
-Z Taylor
"So it wasn't that Iran was going to strike first. It was that #Israel was going to strike first, & Iran respond.
US knew Israel was going to attack. Iran would likely respond. & #Rubio portrayed that as the🚨imminent Iranian threat."

Oh, so now he "won't rule out ground troops?" Almost like that was the plan all along: throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. The plan is that there never was a coherent plan. "Shock and Awe" is the warped dream of a man who thinks reality is fake and that TV is real.

Content warning This Infuriating Regional War Israel and U.S. started
Gulf Arab states that paid billions to the criminal family running the U.S.A. are now learning that money buys you neither loyalty nor protection. And it seems that there are way too many countries involved right now. It's chaos. And it's all completely unnecessary. A Dick-measuring contest. No one is even paying attention to the next door Pakistan vs. Afghanistan War. I know that they want to take a stand, but the UK, France, and Germany: do you really want to get dragged into this? Turkey: don't take the bait.
Also, besides everyone's first concern: oil, actual food needs to get through the Strait of Hormuz, too. Per usual, civilians suffer while the billionaires rest easy. This is the definition of obscene. Y'all can forget about business as usual for awhile. Everyone, all of us regular folk, will be affected.

Trump didn't go to war himself, why not #SendBarron?
But as we know, Rich Kids Don't Go to War
I found this poster of Donald J. Trump Jr. saying
"I'm not enlisting but YOU Should."
There's Weak and then There's Trump Weak.
The Good Liars put this up at Army Recruitment centers during Trump's 1st term.
