Germany Follows Washington’s Ramstein War Program

May 7, 2022 UNAC Editor Europe, NATO, Russia, Ukraine

by Sevim Dagdelen, published on Workers World, May 5, 2022 The war in Ukraine is now all about weapons, weapons, weapons. More weapons and heavier weapons.

Secretary General[…]

by Nontobeko Hlela, distributed by Globetrotter, May 2, 2022 South Africa and other countries that have abstained from voting against Russia at the United Nations General Assembly in response to the war in Ukraine face intense international criticism.

May 5, 2022 UNAC Editor Censorship and Propaganda, Cost of War, Identity Politics, Nonviolence, Poverty, Statement, Ukraine

by Margaret Kimberley, published on Black Agenda Report, May 4, 2022 It is disheartening to hear movement leaders say they are inspired by Martin Luther King while also supporting the U.S. proxy war against Russia. Like all wars it endangers the lives of civilian populations, enriches the military industrial complex, and robs Americans of public resources. Once King chose an[…]

How Could the U.S. Help to Bring Peace to Ukraine?

April 28, 2022 UNAC Editor NATO, Russia, Ukraine, United Nations, US Hypocrisy, War and Peace

by Nicolas J. S. Davies, published April 27, 2022 I am publishing this article as a counterpoint to one I published recently that says there will be no possibility of a negotiated end to this war.

Ukraine Negotiation Kabuki

April 22, 2022 UNAC Editor Russia, Ukraine, US Foreign Policy

by Jim Kavanaugh, published on The Polemicist Substack, April 18, 2022 Though they are not given much of a voice in the mainstream media, many people oppose US/NATO sending more arms to Ukraine and oppose direct Western military intervention, because they see that such actions would only prolong an inevitably lost fight “to the last Ukrainian” and/or they do not[…]

by Jeff Mackler, published on Socialist Action, April 11, 2022 Ukraine: No to the U.S.-orchestrated fascist coup!

Will the U.S. Send Reaper Drones Into the Ukraine Whirlwind?

April 14, 2022 UNAC Editor Drones, New Cold War, Ukraine, US Meddling in Europe

by Nick Mottern, published on Common Dreams, April 7, 2022 This article by Nick Mottern, who has spent over a decade studying and opposing drone warfare, presents a very worrisome direction that the US is taking with regard to Ukraine. I don’t think that they will act on it immediately because drones need to be based somewhere, and wherever they[…]
