reasons to end nukes
European Leaders are being asked to prolong and escalate the Ukraine War – by sending Ukraine an ever-increasing amount of Nato Weapons.. and recently the German foreign minister admitted, "We are fighting a war against Russia". -- So Here we go into a Nato Euro-Russian war, then WWIII. What happened to the peace principles of the Greens Perty? --- And the US wants to send them long range missiles as well.... well that is surely a way to start WWIII.
Let this be clear. Germany has now admitted that they are at war with Russia. And other European countries as well are at war. But can we Please have a public debate about this? Were the German citizens asked? So much for "democracy" .
Even though our government politicians are making this very risky and probably disastrous decision, have they actually asked the citizens? or has there been an open and rigorous debate yet about any of this? of course not. Your opinion doesn't matter, and the government warhawks have been molding public opinion for the last few years in their demonization of Putin and their bogus claims of Russia's danger to their security. And the public media news has changed the whole narrative about Ukraine ever since the war began, as before the war Ukraine was known to be one of the most corrupt and neo fascist ridden governments of Eastern Europe, while after the war starts the media then proclaims that the ethnic-nationalistic aims of Ukraine is worth a WWIII "fight for democracy".
The new push for NATO weapons and fighter planes being sent to Ukraine comes after it is finally recognized that Ukraine will lose, even though the public narrative is still going on about how Ukraine is winning -(interesting how audiences don't notice the contradiction). And so we have this last ditch effort to prolong the war until Europe finally decides to send in their troops, as well as weapons.
This recent Nato warhawk battle cry began days after the US announced that weapons had to be given by NATO.
This US demand on European countries came into the public news in an opinion piece in which the US asked European Nato countries to go All-in (with all their Nato weapons) to be sent into the Ukraine war.
-- washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/07 condoleezza-rice-robert-gates-ukraine-repel-russia
The opinion piece is from Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates, entitled 'Time is not on Ukraine’s side'. These are two 'heavy-weights' from the neo-conservative establishment, both of whom were leading planners for the deception-riddled US attack on Iraq and its ensuing botched war. During the Bush administration's Iraq War, Condoleezza Rice was US national security advisor and Robert Gates was US secretary of defense. So this opinion piece is no small matter, and it has an intentional purpose. It is a pointed messaging to American audiences and to European Nato countries – which is telling European leaders to escalate their involvement in the Ukraine war, and the opinion piece is also probably intended to prepare the US and European public for an escalated War with Russia... Their article points out the realistic fact that Ukraine will soon lose their war with Russia – UNLESS Nato countries quickly decide to send most of their weapons, missiles and tanks, (and possibly troops) into the Ukrainian battlefields. Otherwise, as the authors imply, Russia will win the war. But of course, in their article there is no suggestion for Ukraine to begin peace talks and make a diplomatic peace settlement with Russia. Rather, in their perspective, there are only two alternatives – either Russia wins militarily, or we all escalate the war dramatically by sending in much of the European Nato stored weapons ...which will greatly escalate the war and probably create a European–Russian war.
Also, The Economist came out with an article called, 'The West should supply tanks to Ukraine' (economist.com/leaders/2023/01/11/the-west-should-supply-tanks-to-ukraine)
Besides these more recent media pieces as presented to the public and to European leaders, in December the Top General of Ukraine's army stated in The Economist [to tell the EU and US] that Russia is ready to win the war militarily, and Ukraine will be forced to surrender... Unless Nato-Europe sends all their weapons and tanks to Ukraine and troops as well.
– Which would effectively create a Euro–Russian war, or maybe a nuclear WWIII.
(economist.com/zaluzhny-transcript)
And Zelensky keeps repeating that “U.S. support to Ukraine is crucial.. to get to the turning point to win on the battlefield" – which means... 'we need all of your Nato weapons', so we can completely defeat the Russian army. Zelensky keeps pressing with this kind of 'we can win' talk, rather than agreeing to settle the war with peace talks and negotiations for a long-term peace with neighboring Russia.
So folks, and especially the people of Europe, there is a Choice – Give Ukraine most of your Nato weapons and a supply of troops, or else Ukraine will lose. Or, Ukraine can enter into peace negotiations. Choose to risk a full-scale Euro–Russian war [over Ukraine's boundaries], OR settle for a diplomatic peace agreement? What's your choice? ..or just don't have an opinion and let your government leaders decide whether to have a war or not.
Will our governments [of the US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Poland, and others] ...choose to enter into an all-out NATO War with Russia?
Are We heading into a Euro–Russian War?
Will we choose to escalate into a Euro–Russian war – in order to help one country (Ukraine) achieve its nationalistic goals to centrally govern the Crimea peninsula and portions of the eastern and southeastern Donbas (where a large majority of its residents are Russian-related families and Russian-speaking).
(and in Crimea, ethnic-Ukrainians and Ukrainian-speakers are actually a small minority of the residents and business-owners, as compared with the Russians).
Now of course, it is certainly debatable whether or not Russia 'should' be governing these areas, (rather than Ukraine).
But ...even if most Europeans and Americans think that Ukraine should govern over these areas (not Russia), ...the Important Question still is ––
IS this war (and continuing the war) Really Worth It?
– is it really worth risking a Euro–Russian War?
Is it (the boundaries of Ukraine's governance) really worth continuing a terrible war, causing hundreds-of-thousands of deaths and injured, vast destruction of Ukrainian land and property, increased global economic problems and hardships on average Europeans and Americans, increased hunger and starvation in poorer countries, and even worsening the global problem of climate-change. And this war also costs $$Billions, not to even mention the probable $Trillion needed for reconstruction. While those $$Billions could be spent on social and environmental needs.
IS this war really Worth It?
This is not meant to be uncaring towards Ukraine. The world cares about Ukraine and the world will help you recover. But a Euro-Russian war is Not Worth what's at stake. And if people are worried about certain areas being governed by “the evil Russian Empire,” then Ukraine and the Nato alliance could insist in the peace negotiations that the residents of all those regional territories be allowed to Vote and self-determine their governance, in a UN-observed fair election that could be held in one year (giving enough time for discourse and debate about it).
IT IS TIME to settle this war with a peace agreement
– rather than prolong the war and the killing any further.
Stop the war, ceasefire, and negotiate a peace.
Americans and Europeans must Now Decide
– IS IT WORTH IT – to start a European–Russian war, or WWIII or nuclear war, over this Ukrainian–Russian dispute regarding what country governs a relatively small area of land? Is it worth it?
And by prolonging the war, by sending more and more weapons, we are simply 'prolonging the inevitable' – because “the only way to end this war is by political peace negotiations and not through military victory,” as has been repeatedly said by French President Macron, and also said by many other world leaders and military generals. “Sooner or later” there will need to be peace negotiations to end this war. Ukraine's chances are Very Slim of winning 'all they want' from the war – even if all of Nato comes into the war.
So, just from a realistic and practical viewpoint, and without any moralizing about who's right or wrong, – This War Must End with Peace Negotiations... sooner or later. Let's make it sooner than later!
Negotiate for Peace Now – before this thing gets completely out-of-hand and escalates into a Euro–Russian War, or even a world nuclear war.
Another scary possibility is that at some time in the war, IF it continues, there could be a 'provoking event' in a Nato country – maybe a Russian missile accidentally lands in Nato territory.
Or... maybe a warhawk agenda justifies the US manufacturing a Russian provocation – such as what happened to justify starting the Vietnam war, when the US deceptively invented falsified evidence of an attack on the US Navy.
– This possibility is now set into place, as the 101st Airborne Division and the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of 5,000 soldiers are now positioned in Romania near Ukraine “to respond if the war with Russia reaches allied territory,” and General Matthaidess said that “troops are ready if the call comes." – msn.com/en-us/news/world/u-s-colonel-says-troops-watching-outside-ukraine-ready-if-the-call-comes/ar-AA15zuHY
→ And to comment further about the opinion article
by the US neocons, Rice and Gates –
The two warhawk leaders propagate the hyperbole fear-mongering neo-conservative narrative that – “Putin remains fully committed to bringing all of Ukraine back under Russian control,” or “destroying it as a viable country,” and that it's Putin's “messianic mission to reestablish the Russian Empire.” “For Putin, defeat is not an option... If he cannot be militarily successful this year, he must retain control of positions in eastern and southern Ukraine that provide future jumping-off points for renewed offensives to take the rest of Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, control the entire Donbas region and then move west.”
This is absolute nonsense. It's purely an imaginative speculation, without any relation to historical facts. If Russia had this ambition, then Putin would have successfully launched these “take over eastern Europe” invasions many years ago, or he would have at least invaded Ukraine before Nato stockpiled high quality military weapons in Ukraine. The Rice-Gates fear-mongering narrative of “Putin's devious Plan” to invade and take control of eastern Europe – is not only ridiculous and without any rational evidence, but it is most obviously a false justification for going to war with Russia... “have to stop them here! … before they invade and take over other countries!” What nonsense. That's what the US said about China – which justified the Vietnam war. How the heck would Russia be able to even do all this, when they've used up so many of their weapons and so many Russian soldiers already dead? Yeh, big threat they are! So folks, in reality, Russia will be quite happy for making peace and not using up half their economy for the war. And Ukraine should also be happy for peace, as their economy is completely bankrupt and over 100,000 of their young sons are dead.
Stop this neo-conservative warhawk crap!
...and their nonsense justifications for war.
WE don't want a war!
Europeans don't want a war with Russia.
We all just want Peace, and we want to get on with solving the environmental problems that ARE actually important to solve asap.
Let's Make Peace, and Move On!
Sending a bunch more weapons, tanks, missiles, etc,
merely prolongs this war,
which Ukraine won't win anyways
(or they won't win all they want from it)
… and so, the misery, the killing and destruction carries on longer..
Instead, just Make a Peace Deal.

Here is an example of 'hidden suggestions' in the media.
This is an online question being posed on MSN .com –
“ Do you think the war in Ukraine will or will not escalate to the point where US troops need to intervene? ”
This question is intentionally suggestive, because it gives readers an 'implied assumption' that the war in Ukraine 'could' escalate to the point where... “US troops need to intervene”.
--- Notice that the question is not 'Should US troops intervene' (...if the war escalates)? Instead, it's asking if one thinks the war will escalate?... and if yes, then it already assumes that consequently 'US troops need to intervene.' Thus, it assumes that US troops might need to intervene - if the war escalates to a certain point. There is no peace-talks alternative in how the question is phrased. That is, instead of US troops 'needing to intervene' - if the war overly escalates; why not 'Ukraine needs to negotiate peace' - if the war overly escalates?
Therefore, I will offer a clearer and better question.
'If the war escalates badly for Ukraine, do you think that US troops should intervene OR should Ukraine negotiate a peace agreement?'
Unfortunately, the Biden administration (and its corporate media) appears to want war over peace, and is continually discouraging peace talks, because it is intent on keeping the war going, 'for as long as it takes'... or 'until the last man is standing' – in order to further weaken 'Our enemy' - the Russian army and the Russian economy.
... Instead of ending the war much sooner -- with a compromising peace agreement.
More games of war! But wait, this isn't just a game.
'Continuing the war' (and the flow of more weapons) (and maybe even the “need” to send in US troops) is obviously the media-message that Washington wants to convey into public thinking.
But... IS this what 'the people' want?
Do You choose to be in a dangerous war with Russia?
The Biden administration seems to want a war with Russia..
(and they will try to convince you of that 'need)...
But.. Do You want a war?
If Peace can be achieved, (instead of war), then “seize the moment!” "When there’s an opportunity to negotiate for peace, then seize the moment." Who said that? US General Milley. And as the French President Macron said, “the only way to end this war is by political peace negotiations – and not through military victory.”
Folks, it's Time for Peace.
War is unnecessary bloodshed and destruction.
Choose Peace.
Make a Peace Agreement
and let's all Move On from this,
… Let's promote a world with peace and collaboration
NOT a world with war and killing.
Do you choose Peace or war ?
