Sometimes misinformation is believed by the gullible. the ignorant, the wishful thinkers, the ‘wish it were so’…
but a dose of reality by a political cartoonist can demolish the illusions with a touch of the brush. This cartoon
was printed in a Canadian newspaper in World War Two. It is meaningful today. Delete Goebbels, the Nazi
Minister of Propaganda. Substitute Putin. The rubble of Ukraine. To what end? The truth comes out. Seems the people of Russia are aware of
the misinformation. More important it seems the power brokers in China are feeling uncomfortable in the same
bed with Vladimir Putin. I hope so.
