THE government should be seeking to de-escalate tension on the Ukraine-Russia border, not engaging in the “rhetoric of war,” say Britain's Communists.
Addressing the Communist Party of Britain’s political committee last night, CP international secretary Kevan Nelson branded “absurd” the claims that Russia’s deployment of troops within its own borders poses a threat to world peace.
“The US already has 70,000 troops permanently stationed in Europe, now being reinforced by fighter jets from Denmark, the Netherlands and Spain; meanwhile Nato warships patrol the Black Sea,” he said.
He also warned that “Nato’s war psychosis is drawing Finland and Sweden closer into its orbit,” calling instead for a negotiated settlement of Europe-Russia relations.
Mr Nelson contrasted the ease with which Western imperialism’s military forces and hardware are rapidly deployed across the world to the catastrophic failure to distribute Covid-19 vaccines and medical equipment to low-income countries.
The CPB political committee urged support for anti-war protests, beginning with the Stop the War online rally tomorrow, and called for an end to Nato and EU expansion.
