With two months left, Biden escalates NATO war on Russia

By Gary Wilson

In a menacing shift of U.S. policy with less than two months left in office, President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S. long-range missiles for strikes deep within Russian territory, potentially engaging in a direct NATO war on Russia.

A bit of surrealism for your feed:

Selected quotes from today's declaration of the NATO Summit in Washington:

"NATO does not seek confrontation and does not pose a threat to Russia"

"NATO intends to continue expanding in the Black Sea region and the eastern Balkans"

Lebanon, Gaza, Ukraine: No to the supply of arms and the sending of mercenaries

From the Union of Political Emigrants and Political Prisoners of Ukraine and International Antifascist Solidarity with Ukraine (IUAFS):

We call for the cessation of arms deliveries from the United States, France, Great Britain, Germany, and other NATO members to the illegitimate Zelensky regime in Kiev and for an end to requests for deep missile strikes on Russian territory!

We also demand an end to the current attacks against Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran!

The only way to end the carnage and wars threatening to engulf the world is to say “no more” to the domination of the U.S. military-industrial complex and Wall Street.

The People’s Summit & Mobilization by the Resist NATO Coalition provides a strong response to the NATO 75th anniversary celebration in Washington, D.C., on July 10-11.

Turkish revolutionary musical group Grup Yorum reports from Donbass:

"After Donetsk and Lugansk declared independence, rocket fire by imperialist-backed neo-Nazi gangs and the Ukrainian army directed directly at the residents of these regions has never ceased.

"From 2014 to 2022, about 14,000 ordinary people were killed.

"We support the people of Donbass, who are resisting the imperialism of the US and EU and its accomplice, the fascist Ukrainian state."

China voiced strong opposition and lodged stern representations on Thursday with NATO after the Cold War mentality-driven bloc issued a direct warning to China for the first time regarding the so-called support to Russia in the Ukraine crisis, which, some experts said, is essentially another attempt to shift the blame and smear China.

Over 120 people were wounded in this brazen Ukrainian fascist act of terror. However, it was the U.S. imperialists who were ultimately responsible for this horror. The U.S. produced and supplied the advanced rocket missile technology and the cluster munition warhead. The blood of those three children and all those killed or wounded in the attack is firmly on the hands of the U.S. 

This is not the first time that the U.S. has enabled Ukraine to strike at Russian civilian populations. For almost a decade, the Ukrainian Armed Forces waged a bloody terror campaign against the Donbass, resulting in the deaths of over 10,000 civilians.

Yes, sending so-called military trainers is, in fact, an aggressive escalation. Imperialist military wars can start with “military trainers.” During the First Indochina War (1946-1954), French military trainers in Vietnam began an escalation of the imperialist war on Vietnam, eventually leading to the deployment of French combat troops. This eventually led to U.S. involvement, first with trainers, then followed by tens of thousands of combat troops.  

On May 20, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin urging him to authorize the use of U.S.-supplied long-range weapons to strike deep within Russian territory. The letter reflects Congress’ growing move to escalate U.S. military operations in Ukraine, including expansion beyond Ukraine’s borders into Russia.

The decision, likely illegal, was made because the U.S. and its allies have run out of other 155mm munitions. It is accompanied by false statements that Russia has used such ammunition in Ukraine.

From Darya Mitina, United Communist Party of Russia:

Yesterday, May 8, the losers cried, today, May 9, the winners are celebrating!

Today at 12:00 we will lay flowers at the stele of the Hero City of Moscow at the intersection of Kutuzovsky Prospekt and Bolshaya Dorogomilovskaya Street. Let's bring there portraits of our comrades who laid down their lives in the fight against the fascist plague of the 21st century: Andrei Brazhevsky, Vsevolod Petrovsky, Evgeny Golyshkin, Vladislav Wojciechowski, Alexander Gribovsky, Ilya Znamensky.

And we are sure that we will march through the Immortal Regiment next year.

Washington, D.C.: Resist NATO Countersummit & March

Saturday & Sunday, July 6-7

In early July, NATO will be coming to Washington, DC for a summit meeting and to celebrate its 75th anniversary. The antiwar movement will meet them with counter summits, meetings and protests. This year, our protest of NATO takes on an added importance because of the Genocide it is supporting in Palestine. Support of the Israeli colonial-settler state and its genocidal policies is not new for NATO. In a statement on the NATO website called, “NATO and Israel reaffirm strong partnership,” NATO lauded their “mutually beneficial partnership.” After all, it was the European and North American colonial powers that created the entity called Israel in the first place and have supported it ever since with military, financial and political aid. Today, we can see how this is helping Israel in their genocide against the Palestinian people. It is US and NATO weapons and money that are being used by Israel to kill the Palestinian people.

The U.S. is in a steadily expanding military buildup of unprecedented proportions. But the economic basis for sustaining military expansion — for war on three fronts — is in virtual ruin.

January 21, 2024, marks 100 years since the death of V.I. Lenin, the leader of the first successful socialist revolution in history, the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Newly released on this centennial is Gary Wilson’s “War and Lenin in the 21st Century.”

Lenin identified imperialism’s key features: monopoly capitalism, finance capital, the export of capital, and colonialism, leading to the competitive division of the world among the imperialist powers.

Does Lenin’s analysis of imperialism hold up today?

In January, U.S. tech giant Meta, which owns Instagram, Facebook and other social media outlets, removed Azov from its list of dangerous organizations. Since then, Azov as a movement – ​​which, in addition to the combat units, also includes militias for terrorizing opposition members and minorities inside Ukraine, a political party, its own fashion and music labels and a merchandise network – has been able to operate worldwide without restrictions. With its ever-expanding propaganda machine, Azov not only produces fascist warmongering, ideologies of a master race and heroic myths, but also targeted disinformation: above all, the lie that Azov has broken away from Nazism, which is the lie that politicians and the media in the European Union and the United States put forward, being disseminated on a large scale.
