I share the rage and disgust that brought this poem forth for you, Diane. Israel and the USA are so transparent in their lies, and so ruthless in the atrocities they're willing to commit. Yet those who rule the western world and those under their influence stand idly by, even as international law is violated, genocide continues and war is waged because of baseless accusation of trying to create a nuclear bomb. I didn't fall for the WMD story that justified the destruction of Iraq, and I don't believe this story either.
Thanks for channeling your thought into something that so many of us can relate to and sharing it.
Well said, Diana! By the way, who gave the United States the right to rule the world and dictate policy, sanctions to be obeyed, plus bomb nations and invade them and maintain occupation forces afterwards, and do not believe in national sovereignty of other countries if they don't fall in line to what we or Israel wants? Mainstream media is so biased toward Israel it's pathetic. By the way, Dr. Jack Rasmus wrote a fine article on American style war.

I don't like to see any blood spilled anywhere, but at least Iran is responding to the evil ones by launching their own missiles and drones. At any rate nobody or no nation escapes the Law of Karma
I agree, Diana! The tide is changing and the West with it's colonialism and imperialistic pursuits will eventually lead to their ruin. And yes, they are nothing but a bunch of thugs who belong behind bars.
Please do not forget my UK. _lease note that we are talking .. and no offence, but you should also refer to them a USA elite, UK elitist pigs / dogs of war etc (and the bankers and big corps) and not the included most of the people whom are so against their mass murders or so called wars the generalisation of UK, UK etc is incorrect. PS Sorry to be pedantic.
Indeed, until they are put down. All these damn bloody wars and for what?! The blood thirst of the West makes me sick. Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and now the final prize in these heinous war criminals’ minds, Iran. A country that did nothing to the U.S. Oh, what about the hostage crisis in 1979 one might say. While I don’t condone taking hostages, I understand it more now than I once did. That Islamic Revolution was the result of what the U.S. and the U.K. did in 1953 with the coup and installing of the Shah who was a brutal dictator to overthrow a democratically elected prime minister of Iran at that time. Sound familiar? How about the Maidan Coup in Ukraine in 2014. Thank you Diane for this sad but true poem on what these “dogs of war” are.😢☮️🇵🇸
It looks to me today, that They Will Be Put Down. By Iran, no less.
I have been studying Iran plus the experts I tune into have been saying that Israel will not defeat Iran. And, a BIG mistake for the USA to get involved.
A couple of nights ago, I was going insane/depressed/ angry as hell and sewing and then put on youtube: Mahmood AD, one of my favorites....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rT7EPjBf5s
Trump had decided he would take up to 2 weeks to decide. OMG! Given 2 more weeks, Israel would look like Gaza. (we know that those "savages" the Muslim countries don't target civilians)
We don't know how long Trump can hold out....I bet he was convinced by the Chinese that HIS interests will be damaged by throwing our military at Iran.
No Peace Prize for you Donnie.
HOPEFUL!
I can't recall the Greek? Shakespearian? theatrical phrase where all is saved by some miracle comes from heaven/God.....
Thanks for the link, Judith! If Trump figures out a way to save his ass without joining Israel, which he'd be "wise" to do, Israel is toast! The only way any of these pathetic Western leaders can save their political asses is to dump Israel! Except they'd have to be man, and woman, enough to do a big Mea Culpa, and how do they do that without looking like the assholes they are?
Judith, the term is from or I should say translated from Latin and it is "deus ex machina"but it did originate in ancient Greek theater. I think that's the term you're looking for.
The WCK Resumes Large-Scale Cooking in Gaza....!!!
"World Central Kitchen aid trucks have reached our teams in Gaza for the first time in over 12 weeks. As of today, we have resumed cooking at select kitchens, a critical step toward increasing meal production to meet the urgent need of displaced Palestinians."
Aren't they afraid of getting shot down by the IDF????
Very good Diane. You have a wonderful way of putting thoughts into words. I agree with all said but do not have your skill at articulating those thoughts.
You have built so nicely on Shakespeare's original: "Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war." Let us hope that those dogs are put down -- SOON!
Thanks, Lenny! I didn't write this with Shakespeare in mind; it just came to me in a fit of rage and disgust!
You bring another line to mind: "Anger hath a privilege"! Let us hope that others will begin to articulate rage and disgust...
And that the demon dogs of war begin to feel the scorching heat!

Exactly, Frank.
The USA is not the world's good policeman, as they like to make themselves out to be.
And I don't know how people can continue to believe this myth as we watch the genocide being committed by Israel that the USA supports materially.
There has to be a reckoning.
The west with its colonialism and imperialism feels superior, but they're just a bunch of thugs.

Good points, Bob! The British Zionists have immense power in the UK

Amen, smokygirl! You're absolutely correct!
Thank you Frank.😊☮️🇵🇸

I have seen on youtube some photos of the destruction in Palestine/genocidal Israel...and it's bad.
It will get worse. Iran has a huge stock of weapons. Those fast ballistic weapons ....
Every strike I see on those war criminals fills me w/ glee. The "food challenged" Hamas fighters are still blowing up tanks ..in their sneakers.
Damn!
This is the 1st time in my life, I have given any war a minute of my time.
Probably the MOST significant event in my life time. ...too young for WW2....although we were there, in D.C. My Dad was in the labs there.
anyone know what is that literary expression for "the gods appeared to save the day"??
Judith, the term is from or I should say translated from Latin and it is "deus ex machina"but it did originate in ancient Greek theater. I think that's the term you're looking for.
Thank you!!!! It was driving me crazy! Lit. major as i am...(was). I should have that in my data bank...somewhere in the front.
I did numerous searches but DUH: Google didn't know either.
That's how I am seeing Iran. " ...A God, person or event that provides a sudden and unexpected solution to a difficulty."
Let's hope in this fking hopeless situation........
On the Gray Zone : Fox, trumps favorite source of inspiration; 2 guys were touting the beauty of the bunker buster .....God save us.
Indeed!
The Demon dogs of war are terrifying and enraging, but the demon humans of war are even worse.
There is no difference. One in the same!
I dunno. I think the dogs could possibly learn to behave better.

This is News I can hardly believe:

Another sad but poignant poem, Diane! You said it very well.
