How The US Weaponized Ukraine Against Russia

April 10, 2022 Tj Coles, The Grayzone. Educate! NATO, Russia, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

Since The US-Engineered 2013-14 Coup In Ukraine, American Forces Have Taught Ukrainians, Including Neo-Nazi Units, How To Fight In Urban And Other Civilian Areas. Weaponizing Ukraine Is Part Of Washington’s Quest For What The Pentagon Calls “Full Spectrum Dominance.” “[I]f you can learn all modalities of war, then you can be the god of war,” so said a Ukrainian artillery commander in 2016 while receiving training from the US Army.

The Weapons Industry Sees The War In Ukraine As A Goldmine

April 10, 2022 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. Educate! Military Industrial Complex, NATO, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Since the pandemic began in early 2020, the weapons industry has argued that shutdowns and supply chain disruptions have put the “defense industrial base” in peril, compromising the national security and military “readiness” of the United States. Now, that same industry is using Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and NATO’s subsequent military buildup to double down on the argument, demanding rapid, public investments in the weapons industry to bolster the capacity of the United States and NATO for “deterrence.”

Ukrainian Tochka-U Missile Killed Dozens At Kramatorsk Train Station

April 9, 2022 Moon of Alabama. Educate! Media, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Of note is that so far all Russian attacks on train junctions were reported to have happened at night time. As Russia has already interrupted the train lines west of Kramatorsk, and thereby stopped resupplies to it, it has no need to attack Kramatorsk station at all. It is therefore almost assured that it was a Ukrainian missile that today hit Kramatorsk station. It was either aimed badly, went off course or was intentionally aimed at it for propaganda purposes. (The 'for the children' marking in Russian on the booster section may point to the later cause.) We have no further information for us to decide which is the case.

The Levers Of Power Are Also Triggers

April 9, 2022 Patrick Carey, Popular Resistance. Educate! Nazis, Russia, Ukraine, War crimes

The gruesome atrocities, posted on social media by groups like the Nazi Azov Regiment and the Georgian Militia, are a direct result of the UK and US pushing for more militarism in Ukraine, endorsing hostility towards Russians and extending the conflict by pouring the arms into the hands of these very groups. The long standing US/UK/NATO project of destabilising the region with the purpose of bringing down the Russian state has actually brought about conditions in which these horrific incidents can occur. I see clearly that no-one can support the West in the Ukraine conflict without supporting the war there and the ghastly consequences of that war. It is not good enough for liberals and so called socialists to bleat the “aid” mantra when part of that package is “lethal aid”!

Ukraine: A Conversation With Scott Ritter

April 8, 2022 the United National Antiwar Coalition. Resistance Report Russia, Scott Ritter, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Margaret Flowers and Joe Lombardo of the United National Antiwar Coalition host a conversation with Scott Ritter regarding the situation in Ukraine and its broader implications for the realignment of global power, security and economic structures. Ritter discusses the provocations that led Russia to launch a military operation, the humanitarian situation, including what happened in Bucha, how Russia is winning, and the propaganda being used to build popular support for war. Scott Ritter was the UN weapons inspector who, during the Iraq War told the truth that we found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He became outspoken about this, which undercut the main reason the US used to invade and occupy Iraq. As with the Iraq War, Scott Ritter is outspoken about the present war in Ukraine, in which we are again hearing US lies about the reasons for, and the events happening in the Ukraine War.

This Is Not The Age Of Certainty

April 8, 2022 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! New Cold War, Russia, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

It is hard to fathom the depths of our time, the terrible wars, and the confounding information that whizzes by without much wisdom. Certainties that flood the airwaves and the internet are easy to come by, but are they derived from an honest assessment of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russian banks (part of a broader United States sanctions policy that now afflicts approximately thirty countries)? Do they acknowledge the horrific reality of hunger that has increased due to this war and the sanctions? It appears that much of the ‘certainties’ are caught up in the ‘Cold War mentality’, which views humanity as irreversibly divided on two opposing sides. However, this is not the case; most countries are struggling to craft a non-aligned approach to the US-imposed ‘new Cold War’.

Greek Railroad Workers Block Delivery Of US Tanks To Ukraine

April 8, 2022 Simon Zinnstein, Left Voice. Resist! Greece, Ukraine, weapons, Working Class

Workers at TrainOSE, a Greek railroad company, have been refusing to transport U.S. tanks destined for Ukraine from Alexandroupoli, a port in the northern part of the country. After workers there refused, bosses tried to force railroad workers from elsewhere to take on the work. “For about two weeks now,” the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) said in a statement, “there has been pressure on the employees of the engine room in Thessaloniki to go to Alexandroupoli.” The bosses’ desperate effort to find workers who would move the transport forward was unsuccessful. The argument from employers that they should have no specific interest in what they are transporting came to nothing, even with a threat regarding the workers’ contract, which states, “An employee can be deployed according to the needs of the company.” Further threats of dismissal also proved fruitless.

Why Hasn’t The US Been Kicked Off The UN Human Rights Council?

April 8, 2022 Dave Lindorff, This Can't Be Happening!. Educate! Russia, Ukraine, United Nations, US Imperialism, War crimes, Wars and Militarism

The United Nations General Assembly voted 93-24 with 58 abstentions to drop the Russian Federation from membership on the UN Human Rights Council, based on allegations and grisly videos and photos appearing to show execution-style slayings of civilians in Ukraine by Russian troops. While there are calls for independent investigations into those allegations, the US and NATO member state governments have been pushing the claim that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine including the major war crime of invading another country, the unasked question in the US media is: Why hasn’t the US been kicked out of the Human Rights Council for similar war crimes that aren’t at all allegations, but are well documented fact?

The US Bubble Of Pretend

April 7, 2022 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. Educate! Journalism, Media, Propaganda, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

It is perfectly obvious by now, to anyone who cares to look, that mainstream media in America and the other Western powers are not reporting the Ukraine crisis accurately. Let me try that another way: The government-supervised New York Times and the rest of the corporate-owned media on both sides of the Atlantic lie routinely to their readers and viewers as to why Russia intervened in Ukraine, the progress of its military operation, the conduct of Ukrainian forces, and America’s role in purposely provoking and prolonging this crisis. So far as I know, this is the first war in modern history with no objective, principled coverage in mainstream media of day-to-day events and their context. None.

This War Is Actually About Central Banking

April 7, 2022 Lee Camp, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Finance and the Economy, Russia, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

There is something you aren't being told about the current cold war between the US and Russia that's icier than a witch's tit after seeing the naked body of the guy who ate Russell Crowe. And of course, the new cold war also involves a proxy war in Ukraine where Western media is telling us to root for a Jew and for the Nazis? As an anti-imperialist Jew myself, can't I be opposed to both the Russian invasion and opposed to Nazis? Is that not allowed, really? This is worse than when The Price is Right showcase showdown forced me to choose between rooting for a marine and rooting for another marine. You're trained killers. Why do you need a jet ski so bad?

Russia-Ukraine Talks To Continue Despite Bucha Setback

April 7, 2022 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. Educate! Bucha, Peace Negotiations, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Amidst increasing Western outrage against Russia over allegations of genocide in Ukraine’s north-eastern Bucha region, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized on Tuesday, April 5, that the ongoing talks between both the countries will continue. Russia had denied its involvement in the killings and claimed that it was a false provocation meant to destroy the prospects of peace in the region. Zelensky claimed that ending the talks now would prevent both countries from finding a solution to the present conflict and further prolong it. Talks are only hope to “find a way out of the situation and not to lose our territory,” he was reported as saying in the Ukrainian media.

The Ukraine Conflict Lays Bare The Myth Of A More Civilized Europe

April 7, 2022 Ramzy Baroud, Mintpress News. Educate! Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

When a gruesome six-minute video of Ukrainian soldiers shooting and torturing handcuffed and tied up Russian soldiers circulated online, outraged people on social media and elsewhere compared this barbaric behavior to that of Daesh. In a rare admission of moral responsibility, Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the Ukrainian President, quickly reminded Ukrainian fighters of their responsibility under international law. “I would like to remind all our military, civilian and defense forces, once again, that the abuse of prisoners is a war crime that has no amnesty under military law and has no statute of limitations,” he said, asserting that “We are a European army” as if the latter is synonymous with civilized behavior.

An Antidote To The ‘Split’ In The US Peace Movement: Anti-interventionism

April 7, 2022 John V. Walsh, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Anti-war Movement, Russia, Ukraine, US Intervention

Massachusetts Peace Action, a venerable part of the US Peace Movement, has been around since the 1980s and its predecessors date back to the 1950s. Its voice is heeded and it represents most of the shared opinions of the liberal and progressive US peace movement. A recent piece by its Assistant Director, Brian Garvey, provides an astute analysis of the ideological differences in the progressive part of the US peace movement and properly criticizes its inability to unite around a common program. He asks the two crucial questions: “What do we do now? and “How do we make a difference?” “Making a difference” to end the war is crucial. We in the US peace effort want to be effective.

How Low Can The West Go To Undermine Russia?

April 7, 2022 Rick Sterling, Popular Resistance. Educate! Joe Biden, Propaganda, Russia, Ukraine

Mobilizing a population to vilify and hate a targeted enemy is a tactic that leaders have used since before the dawn of human history, and it is being used to demonize Russia and Vladimir Putin in the current conflict. If we want to join the march to war, we can join the hate fest. But if we want a more objective and honest assessment of events, we must rely upon facts that our government and its cheer-leading mainstream media are not anxious for us to view. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, all things Russian are being punished. Russian athletes, including paraplegics, are barred from international sports competition. Century old Russian writers and musicians such as Tolstoy and Tchaikovsky are being removed from book shelves and concerts. Even Russian bred cats are not exempt.

The Bucha Provocation

April 6, 2022 Moon of Alabama. Educate! Propaganda, Russia, Ukraine, War crimes

The Bucha 'Russian' atrocities propaganda onslaught may have worked well in the 'west' but it lacks evidence that Russia had anything to do with it. The former Indian ambassador M.K. Bhadrakumar calls it an outright fake: An indignant Moscow has angrily demanded a United Nations Security Council meeting on Monday over the allegations of atrocities by Russian troops in areas around Kiev through the past month. Prima facie, this allegation is fake news but it can mould misperceptions by the time it gets exposed as disinformation. A Tass report says: “The Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday that the Russian Armed Forces had left Bucha, located in the Kiev region, on March 30, while “the evidence of crimes” emerged only four days later, after Ukrainian Security Service officers had arrived in the town. The ministry stressed that on March 31, the town’s Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk had confirmed in a video address that there were no Russian troops in Bucha. However, he did not say a word about civilians shot dead on the street with their hands tied behind their backs.”
