Our friend Roger has started a new blog! This one is a bit different than his others, for its purpose is to connect history to our political world today, to discuss in-depth topics that delve into issues of human nature. His first post is about a topic he and I have ‘agreed to disagree’ on, and we do so without rancor, without angst, but simply as two adults who value our friendship. Take a look for yourself, and let Roger (and me) know your thoughts on this somewhat divisive topic! Thank you, Sir Roger!!! 😊
These posts will be long. For the simple reason nothing in the history of Humanity can be wrapped up in one simple line. And monumental events should never be subjected to this approach.
Synopsis
Politics, History and in particular Military history have been interests of mine for most of my life. Despite the dislike many folk have for the first and third of these, they have been and are likely to be for a long time fixtures in The Human Condition.

Here’s a link to the first of his series: https://www.amazon.com/Patchwork-Warriors-Being-Precipice-Dominions-ebook/dp/B076CRNV2N/ref=sr_1_2?crid=A9J0Z3V3BXCC&keywords=the+precipice+dominion&qid=1652158952&sprefix=the+precipice+dominion%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-2

The great American cartoonist Jeff Danziger always portrays War as a large hairy, biker type with a sinister smile, dominating whichever politician is currently playing the war card (who is often looking very troubled by his ‘new pal’)

One of the best editorial cartoonists; not too bad on the UK either.
