Clay's cartoon is an homage to Kiwi/ British cartoonist David Low, who drew this famous cartoon of Hitler and Stalin greeting each other over the "body" of Poland in September 1939:



Infidel 753 has a sobering read on Putin's and Assad's "rendezvous" in Aleppo. These are heinous actors responsible for mass murder, and things could get worse with Putin pal Trump in office.

Assad Launches Air Strikes on City

The Syrian regime of Bashir al-Assad has launched air strikes on rebel civilian targets in Syria's second-largest city of Aleppo. The use of military aircraft marks a new level of savagery and destruction by the embattled Syrian dictator.

New reports that elements of al Qaeda are attempting to gain a foothold in the civil war illustrate the complexity of the struggle, and one in which the U.S. needs to keep pressure on the Syrian regime and its allies without committing our military assets. We need to shun the reckless impulses of the neocons, who are once again urging U.S. military intervention in a situation that is ripe for unintended consequences.
