SNV Special Interview: Anti-War Committee Says No War With Russia

Recorded (3/1/2022) and Uploaded (3/3/2022) On February 24th the Anti-War Committee co-sponsored an event called Tell Klobuchar and Congress: No U.S. war with Russia, End U.S. intervention in Ukraine! The event was supported by numerous other groups including: MN Peace Action Committee, Climate Justice Committee, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, May Day Books, MN War Tax Resistance, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Socialist Action, Twin Cities Assange Defense, Veterans for Peace Chapter 27, and Women Against Military Madness. I spoke with Andrew Josefchak from the Anti-War Committee about the protest, the situation in Ukraine, and workers demand for peace. Here is link to the speech Josefchak gave at that protest: http://antiwarcommittee.org/2022/02/24/no-war-with-russia-disband-nato-now/?fbclid=IwAR0MW5l1NHGbsPCQ_T3zLBl0SJt7gwT4u8_dAwX7sXOdmoyqcWY5tXeT6sw Mentioned in the interview (LINKS): Overextending and Unbalancing Russia - RAND Corporation: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10014.html McCain visits frontline Ukraine troops in anti-Putin gesture: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/12/31/mccain-visits-frontline-ukraine-troops-anti-putin-gesture/96036782/ Ukraine crisis: Transcript of leaked Nuland-Pyatt call: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 Far-right group at heart of Ukraine protests meet US senator: https://www.channel4.com/news/ukraine-mccain-far-right-svoboda-anti-semitic-protests CIA-trained Ukrainian paramilitaries may take central role if Russia invades: https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADJNE797i6_PpdE32ywBQzt-eSxYU2X0edWKyxJoTHzHY21sqFAstKEu5e5Ru4HjL6jVlrnxdAAPJcZTOXplXkIKQcfyasF_OE69ldPxEnQ59zKjMcIBqDulcG_Z4HbQA2e8cFQY61zZnrzM4ybO8MjnkyZ_48bexOVl1JBaa07E Congress Has Removed a Ban on Funding Neo-Nazis From Its Year-End Spending Bill: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/congress-has-removed-a-ban-on-funding-neo-nazis-from-its-year-end-spending-bill/ Facebook is reversing its ban on posts praising Ukraine's far-right Azov Battalion, report says: https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-reverses-ban-praise-ukraine-far-right-forces-2022-2 SCHOOLS IN UKRAINE SCRAP RUSSIAN LANGUAGE FROM THEIR CURRICULA: https://www.fairplanet.org/editors-pick/schools-in-ukraine-scrap-russian-language-from-their-curricula/ Minsk agreements from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements ‘Not One Inch Eastward:’ How the War in Ukraine Could Have Been Prevented Decades Ago: https://scheerpost.com/2022/02/24/not-one-inch-eastward-how-the-war-in-ukraine-could-have-been-prevented-decades-ago/ UPCOMING EVENTS: Vijay Prashad’s Washington Bullets (3/10/2022): https://www.facebook.com/events/919903198673598?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%7D]%7D Anti-war protest: Say NO to U.S. Wars - No War with Russia!
