oin CODEPINK Congress and Massachusetts Peace Action this Tuesday for an urgent conversation on the crisis in Ukraine and what the ramifications are of this geopolitical fight that threatens to engulf the whole world.
No matter how Russia’s bloody invasion of Ukraine ends, the repercussions are enormous and will be felt for many years–perhaps decades–to come. What will be the consequences of a more united and militarized NATO? How will the reshuffling of energy markets affect global politics? How will this impact the campaign for global nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament? Will there be a stronger Russia/China alliance? How will the Global South be affected? We’ll discuss these questions and many more with two of the greatest global analysts on the left: Dr. Gerald Horne and Walden Bello.
