Cartoon by Behrendt on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (11 July 1980)

Bild
‘Patience, gentlemen, patience!’ On 11 July 1980, Fritz Behrendt, a Dutch cartoonist originally from Berlin, paints an ironic picture of the real intention of the Soviet Union to put an end to its military intervention in Afghanistan. From left to right: US President Jimmy Carter, German Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing criticise the Soviet invasion and call ‘in vain’ on the USSR, represented by its leader Leonid Brezhnev, to withdraw from Afghanistan, where it already seems to have taken root.
