In today’s featured cartoon, Peter Brookes comments on the deteriorating status of democracy in the world alluding to President Vladimir Putin’s led Russian invasion of Ukraine which is happening for over 3 months while drawing parallels with the events of 6 January, 2021 at the Capitol building for which former US President Donald Trump has been accused of orchestrating the riot in an “attempted coup” according to a Congressional inquiry.
