“No one wants to be occupied; no one wants to be colonized; no one wants to see foreign troops patrolling their streets ."

On February 24th, 2022, Russia launched its invasion and occupation of Ukraine, escalating the Russo-Ukrainian war that began in 2014. Since then, entire cities have been destroyed and hundreds of bodies remain unidentified, with U.S. President Joe Biden calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be tried for war crimes.


March 20th, 2023, marked the twentieth anniversary of George W. Bush’s war on Iraq in which he asserted a need to invade Iraq under the Orwellian justification of a “preemptive military intervention.” Twenty years after the U.S. invasion, Iraq remains unstable with one of the most corrupt and dysfunctional governments in the world. When the bombing started on March 19, 2003, peace activist and author,Kathy Kelly ([link removed]) was on the ground with a group of international volunteers to accompany the Iraqi people during the horror and madness. On the first day of the war, she wrote, “On a beautiful spring day, welcome to hell.”


In this issue of The Progressive, we look at both the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the twenty-year anniversary of George W. Bush’s war in Iraq. The issue features articles by several writers including renowned scholar Noam Chomsky ([link removed]) on the Doomsday Clock, Kathy Kelly revisits the period of the Iraq war and applies the lessons she learned working for peace towards the situation in Ukraine, and university professor and author,[link removed] Zunes ([link removed]) on the lingering effects of rewriting history to cover up war crimes.
Cover artist Nick Ogonosky's ([link removed]) illustrative voice evokes emotion through the use of texture, shapes, and subject matter while being pleasing to the eye.
