– We have a real enemy in our own home! – so George Galloway, the leader of the Workers organization GB and a longtime MP to the home of Commons responded to the dominant British politics and media murmur against the Russian Federation and China. The large Conference #No2NatoNo2War, organized on 25 February in London with the participation of anti-war activists from the UK, the US and Ireland, despite attacks by militarists, gathered respective 100 participants and resulted in the announcement of a fresh movement, a coalition of organizations and anti-war environments.
George Galloway.– The imperialists, usurpers are the right to talk on behalf of the full West can trust on their dominance over no more than 13 percent of the global population. And even here they have no exclusivity for right, on the contrary, it is our voice, our voice against imperialist wars, against NATO, that is becoming more and more heard. – stressed Galloway. No2Nato will operate throughout the UK and Ireland, cooperating, among others, with anti-war movements in the United States, as US People’s Party and Libertarian Party and in Germany (environment "Die junge Welt’, organizers of the yearly Rosa-Luxemburg-Conferenz, including 2023 devoted precisely to expressing opposition to the war).
Monroe’s European Doctrine
– We are dealing with a reversed Cuban crisis, an escalation of the threat of moving the US and NATO military sphere of influence closer to the borders of the Russian Federation. In 1962, however, the threat of the atomic demolition of humanity was reversed at the last minute at the negotiating table, while in 2022 NATO adopted a reverse strategy, effectively blocking any chance of negotiation and peace. – said Prof. Dan Kovalik, a lecturer in global human rights at the University of Pittsburgh and a known American anti-war activist. – In front of our eyes, there has been a real resumption of the Cold War, with the building of another Iron Curtain, whose existence can only be harmful, especially for Europe.. The main Western media hides the fact that NATO has pushed this war, as well as denying the apparent fact that only dialog can end it. So it's a NATO war, a war that costs thousands of lives and billions of dollars.. And this is most likely just the beginning, due to the fact that we are seeing the same pro-war policy especially for the US towards China – she raised Fiona Edwards from the No Cold War Britain coalition. – In the present situation, the only effective consequence from the European countries should so be the adoption of a kind of reversed Monroe doctrine, which is to recognise as the foundation of a European safety policy to remove American influence from the continent. – answered George Galloway and added: – Let us consider foolishness, but especially the arrogance of Washington, which threatens China with "serious consequences" for maintaining close relations with Russia. 1 large power so refuses the another large power the right to independently form its relations with the 3rd Power. It shows what the real stakes of this conflict are. We are dealing with a desperate effort to block an independently global transformation towards a multipolar world – explained the leader of Workers organization GB.
Dan Kovalik.War of 1 percent
– I am different from my esteemed colleagues on many issues (such as the independency of Scotland, which I powerfully support), and surely from different positions is my opposition to the war in Ukraine, which I see as a bilateral clash of imperialisms, as the usage of nationalisms on a genealogy older than a year, far beyond 2014. In the meantime, this is another installment of processes taking place in the post-Soviet space after the fall of the USSR and much earlier, both during planet wars and the large demographic and cultural changes. erstwhile we announcement that the east of the present Ukraine speaks Russian, we must besides remember that the historical population of Crimea was the Tatars, while the largest centre in the west of Ukraine, Lviv, is 1 of the most beautiful and most crucial Polish cities. We must realize this complexity and see the actual faces of the actors of this war, in which, on the 1 hand, the second most corrupt state of the planet participates, actively persecuting its own cultural and linguistic minorities, which, however, have been the victim of undoubtedly illegal aggression by the another state, almost equally corrupt. This should be a substance between the 2 and only 2 countries and nations. Realistically speaking in this war 1 side, the top 1% side represent and Joe Biden, and Vladimir Putin, as a consequence of which billions gain not only the arms industry, but besides the energy and fuel lobby. These gains are besides multiplied by telling us that Russian tanks salmost on the way to Berlin, Brussels or London, which is simply not actual – raised Craig Murray, a Scottish human rights activist, historian, and erstwhile diplomat, erstwhile UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan (previously in Russia and Poland, among others).
Tanks alternatively of drugs and increases
Other speakers besides highlighted the economic, especially intra-British negative consequences of pro-war policy. ‘The United Kingdom is NATO's second largest contributor. Only in 2023 did we spend 60 billion pounds for this purpose. We believe that Britain would be safer and richer outside NATO and we believe that the British are of the same opinion. The threat of fresh aggression from imperialism was never greater. If specified a ruling class policy is not challenged, this could lead to a full disaster – announces the preliminary declaration of the No2NATO movement. – The fresh arms race started at the expense of social spending, the money essential for wellness care, to overcome the effects of COVID. A country where there are inactive queues to food banks should not afford fresh weapons. £23 billion, intended for weapons and weapons for Ukraine to proceed the war, would be adequate to meet the legitimate wage needs of workers in sectors peculiarly affected by pandemic policy – he calculated Andy Hudd, Vice-President of the ASLEF Transport Workers' Union and 1 of the No2NATO Coordinators. He besides pointed out that the arguments of the militarists, frequently referring to the alleged economical benefits of the improvement of the arms industry, were untruthful. – On the contrary, the war and manufacture complex is highly low productive and does not make jobs that could be created in another sectors of the economy with akin costs Hudd explained. – Notice the American terrorist attack against NordStream as confirmed. As thousands of Ukrainians are sacrificed all day in the NATO War against Russia, so the energy safety of Germans and another Europeans has been devoted – added Fiona Edwards.
Never in our name!
The unbreakable link between war and the crisis and the pauperization of the working masses highlighted in his speech Chris Williamson, erstwhile Labour organization MP, close associate Jeremy Corbyn, and now 1 of the leaders of the Socialists Labour Party. His speech was indeed an accelerated course of NATO past and its connections with the British political class, including labourists. – NATO was the actual creator of the first Iron Curtain, and in the UK it was the Labour organization that actively supported the creation of the Pact and its aggressive policy, so it cannot be amazing the current attitude sir Keira Starmera and his crews, surpassing the government in demanding the surrender of all “unnecessary weapons” and even more funds for the government in Kiev. In this way, these politicians support aggression, due to the fact that in Ukraine NATO is the aggressor, the aggressor is the undemocratic authorities of Ukraine, who persecute the opposition, prohibit the actions of independent political parties, especially socialist parties. The Zelenski government holds political prisoners only for mentioning peace, even violating the freedom of religion of citizens. So erstwhile individual says that as a leftist, I support specified power, I answer with all my power: never in my name! – called Williamson.
Untie NATO
– We come from different directions, we have different experiences and different beliefs. But 1 thing we know is how bad war is. I am not a pacifist, I reject imperialist war and I support the war against imperialism more strongly. We all realize perfectly that it is not us who choose neither Xi JinpingaNot Vladimir Putin. We can't tell the Chinese and the Russians how to rule. But we have and must influence the decisions of our leaders. This is why No2NATO will proceed to act as a broad coalition of forces opposing the replacement Ukrainian war and demanding the dissolution of the North Atlantic Pact – summarized 3 sessions, over 7 hours of conference discussions by George Galloway.
The participants besides expressed their clear support for the release Julian Assange, which he erstwhile wrote: “Every war starts with lies. Therefore, the beginning of peace must be truth.” Giving the fact about the causes, course and actual goals of NATO war in Ukraine is so 1 of the first tasks of No2NATO, which has already announced further actions and expansion of operations.
