**Lest We Forget / Davenport**
_"Lest we forget" is the refrain in Rudyard Kipling's poem, Recessional, published in 1897 at the height of the British empire. In the poem, Kipling warns against the perils of pride and the impermanence of power. The United States emerged from the Spanish American war in 1899 as a quasi-imperial power. The cartoonist may be cautioning the nation to remember its humble beginnings._

War sucks, but winning a war is so, so, so, so, so much better than losing one.
Ukraine has obtained at least 10,200 M718 or M741 projectiles from the United States. Similar to cluster munitions in operation, these charges, once dispersed over a target area, do not detonate immediately. Instead, they lay a minefield that activates upon detecting the magnetic signature of nearby vehicles.
yanks cannot be expected to recognise their country on a map unless state borders are shown… (that's my hypothesis and i’m sticking with it - postulate : no other country routinely receives this treatment)

@janetlogan With #CPAC held so close to #WashingtonDC , #JackPosobiec is likely to meet #UncleSam.
@SETSystems We’ve been here before, a couple of times.
It’s always ‘calm before the storm’ in the #UnitedStates because #UncleSam doesn’t *start wars*, but rather *finishes them*!
