I just check it out, thanks for sharing this.
Very thought provoking posters. Glad that you liked them.
Scary and powerful, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for reading this post. Usually I don’t get into politics, but that one got to my heart.
Thanks for the link but so depressing – what is it about the human race that time after time we get hairy-chested, beat the war drums and send our young men and women out to be slaughtered and to slaughter. Except now the West has refined the process into drones so people can be annihilated at a distance?
It is very depressing indeed. 😦
unfortunately for more than 2000 years this Roman statement has been true and has repeated itself:”Si vis pacem, para bellum…” – translated from Latin: “If you want peace, prepare for war!”… 😦
Wars and power have always been political… and the one in Ukraina is too!
So true 😦
without being an economist, a historian or a rocket scientist, it’s logical, pure and simple common sense… unfortunately for us, “insignificant quantities”… 😦
[…] War is good business. Invest your son… […]
