We believe the United States through NATO is engaging in a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. We accept that NATO / United States has provoked the conflict with Russia and is engaging in an undeclared World War III aimed at securing NATO / Atlantic Alliance hegemony over Russia.
Ukraine is a pawn in a global chess match that is destroying the country. John Mearsheimer warned the US elite in the 1990’s that Ukraine would be wrecked if NATO expanded into its territory; indeed, the United States plot to make Ukraine a proxy state for its battle with Russia is the cause of the Ukraine war.
Peace can prevail if war ends.
NATO needs to be brought to heel; only a mass protest of a left / right coalition that oppose imperial state power, and projects like the Project for a New American Century, can make a difference. Our common foe in the military industrial complex should unite us in opposition and ideological differences subordinated to the greater cause of ending war and building peace.
In solidarity, Green Liberty Bloc Oregon, Wisconsin and others.
