Only a few short months after the chaotic US defeat in Afghanistan, the US is pushing a war with Russia, a major nuclear power.  US officials insist that the Russians will invade Ukraine.  Russia has repeatedly denied this.  

In recent days the US and some of their allies have closed their embassies and asked their nationals to leave Ukraine.  

The Ukrainian military has a force of 150,000 troops, that are U.S. trained and armed with modern US weapons, near the Russian border and the independent regions in Donbass.  These independent regions have taken a stand in opposition to the right-wing, coup government in Kiev, since 2014.  The Ukrainian military has started heavy shelling of the independent areas of Donbass, which have returned the fire. 

Every U.S. war in our lifetime has been based on false information, repeated relentlessly by the corporate media. There is deep apprehension that the US and the Ukrainian government are preparing a “false flag” incident that could lead to a major conflict.  

The US has tens of thousands of troops in Europe, it is putting troops on high alert and sending more.  They are not only arming the Ukrainian military, but they are expanding NATO bases and sending additional arms and missiles to other NATO countries in the region.  

It is important that the US antiwar movement come together to oppose these dangerous war moves. Please join us on Tuesday.
