Donald Trump pretended to represent an alternative to the warmongering politicians that preceded in him power. Yet all we had to do to update our old anti-war poster for 2026 was to change a single letter, scrawling an “N” over the previous “Q.”
During the United States occupation of Iraq—which stretched from March 20, 2003 to December 18, 2011—we printed and distributed tens of thousands of copies of a poster encouraging people to reject, refuse, and resist the war effort.
At the time, it was a controversial position. Later, Donald Trump drew attention to his presidential candidacy by criticizing the decision to occupy Iraq. In describing himself as an opponent of wars, Trump was simply being mendacious, as always. Today, under his presidency, the United States military is bombing Iran and threatening to send in ground troops.
Whereas twenty years ago, the US government at least tried to maintain a pretense of delivering “democracy” to Iraq, today’s militarists promote depraved violence as an end in itself, explicitly asserting that their wars have no purpose other than to pillage resources and kill people. In the words of Trump’s lackey, Pete Hegseth, the US military adheres to “maximum lethality, not tepid legality,” in order to deliver “death and destruction from the sky all day long.”
Should you kill or die to gratify the egos of such men? No. No one should.

- Afghanistan: The Taliban Victory in a Global Context
Don’t let them throw your life away.
Don’t enlist. Go AWOL. Sabotage the war machine.
