This one had me scratching my head. My first figgering? 'No Nukes'. But ...
The text on the left side is the name of the artist, Kostas Mitropoulos.
The text along the bottom reads 'Greek Democracy'.
One way to read the cartoon is that nuclear weapons are the icing on the cake, eg, Cold War weaponry & rivalries are making everything worse.
(This interpretation depends, admittedly, on the idiom 'icing on the cake' existing in the Greek language ... but, then,
look at the cartoon!)
Viewer's Choice: does the blame rest with the foreigners (who are corrupting the locals), or the locals (who turn to the rival foreign camps for support)?
