“The bombing of Guernica in 1937 unveiled weapons of mass destruction aimed at civilian populations. While Picasso’s famous painting depicting that event brought cubism and outrage together, Guernica marks a more critical narrative demarcation point – the beginning of current US military culture. Hitler and Mussolini’s targeting of a Basque town in 1937 to assist Generalissimo Francisco Franco in the quest to overthrow the republic employed the cutting edge of war technology. Saturation bombing of civilians would be a universal feature of the Second World War, but eventually the US would reinvent the psychology of warfare. Today the US runs a global empire founded almost exclusively on serial terrorism from the sky.” (06/27/25)
