Hungary Refuses To Finance US Weapons For Ukraine

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on 14 July that Hungary will not participate in financing US weapons for Ukraine, even if Washington formally proposes the initiative to the EU. “I would like to emphasize that Hungarian money, Hungarian weapons, and Hungarian soldiers will not be sent to Ukraine.  Nothing will be sent there,” Szijjártó stated during a press conference in Budapest following a meeting with Moroccan Minister of Industry and Trade Ryad Mezzour. Despite this, he expressed support for US President Donald Trump’s so-called peace efforts, stating: “No one has done as much for peace in Ukraine as Trump.”

Their action forced the ship to leave port without its deadly cargo. Across Europe, dockers carried on the fight. In Genoa, Italian dockworkers pledged to inspect the same vessel and block it if weapons were found. At the Italian ports of Salerno and Scilla, the ship sparked protests. Sophie Binet, the CGT’s national secretary-general, called on the French government to immediately halt arms deliveries to Israel.

The Golden Dome Is Nothing More Than A Massive Corporate Welfare Program

How US Crimes Against Vietnam Sparked Mutiny

On March 14, we carried out our revolutionary hijacking. That’s what we called it. We had now captured the bridge. We had a skeleton crew of about a dozen, enough to operate the ship for a short period. I had the second mate show me our position on the charts. This gave me the general direction and everything. The engines kicked back in and we maintained our route. The radio operator couldn’t use the equipment without our hearing him. We demanded  radio silence for two days. I followed the radar immediately to see if there were any other ships around.

Protest At Travis AFB Against US Weapons For Israeli Genocide

At 7:30 a.m. on April 9, the heavy traffic flow into California’s Travis Air Force Base came to a sudden stop. As they have done numerous times, the “People’s Arms Embargo” blocked the main road into the base. The action this time commemorated the recently deceased long-time peace advocate David Hartsough, one of the co-founders of the Peoples Arms Embargo. With traffic into the base stopped, one angry airman jumped out of his pickup truck and threatened to assault the peaceful protestors. He finally thought better of it and returned to his truck. Other waiting airmen and airwomen were patient and a few indicated support for the protest.
