No to fascism ! Resist US-led war !
Immediately after the overthrow of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US Department of Defense decided that the principal goal of the US’ relations with Russia and the former Soviet states was: to reduce their military forces, to enlarge Nato in eastern Europe. In the beginning this was hidden behind words of “peace and cooperation”.
The geo-strategy of USA-imperialism was explained the first time openly in the book “The grand chessboard” of US-presidential advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski in the year 1997.
This whole strategy, formulated already in 1997, was executed , carried out, step by step.
Already in the year 1997 the enterprise “Kvartal 95 KVN team” was founded and produced television programs. The founders were Andrew Roth (working at the US Navy military Intelligence Agency), Shaun Walker (lived 10 years in Russia, the Guardians correspondent for Eastern Europe, linked to British intelligence service) and Volodomir Zelenski, later president of Ukraine. In the year 2003 Kvartal was already a real Television Studio. From 2015 to 2018 it produced a television serial called “Servant of the People”. The leading role was played by Zelenski. He played an honest, modest , humble Ukrainian, who criticized corruption, and took part in the elections and was elected president of Ukraine. His style of acting was followed up and brought to perfection. One year later, in 2019 there were elections. Ukrainian people wanted to stop the war and hated president Poroshenko therefore . Zelenski promised to stop the war and was elected. But 14 days after his elections he continued the bombing of the Donbas region.
In 2016 the US supported a pro-US trial of regime change in Ukraine , but it failed . The conclusion was: to support pro-US social media financially and to contact extreme right bands. In December 14th2013 US senator John McCain met in Kiev Oleh Tyahnibok. McCain became later chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee. Oleh Tyahnibok was chairperson of “Svoboda” , extreme right political party, linked with nazi-symbols. In November 2013 the US financed and organized in Kiev the Maidan pro-fascist revolt against the pro-Russia Yanukovitch government. Therefore The US mobilized therefore the most reactionary nationalist forces, adepts of Nazi collaborator in WWII , Stepan Bandera. In February 2014 these gangs destroyed government buildings, offices of communist and workers’ movement organizations, monuments of Lenin and remembering the Soviet Union, and overthrew the government. The new installed regime was fascist in its essence, Ukrainian in its forms, and American in its goals and policy. Especially in the East of Ukraine (Donbas, Mariupol, Odessa) the resistance grew and was met violently by Poroshenko, who became president May 25th.. On May 2th, 2014, fascist gangs burnt 40 people alive in the Trade Unions building in Odessa. On March 16th, 2014, in a referendum more than 90% of the people of Crimea and Sevastopol voted for reunification with Russia. In Donbas a people’s revolt, led by the working class, especially miners and metal workers, chased the fascist representatives, took the arms in police stations and army barracks, built barricades around the government buildings they occupied. On May 11th, 2014, in referenda 89 % of the people of Donetsk and 96 % of the people of Luhansk voted to found the independent People’s Republic of Donetsk and the People’s Republic of Luhansk. Poroshenko started a military campaign against Donbas, bombed there schools, hospitals, houses, electricity plants, which from 2014 to 2022 killed 14000 people. But nor he, nor the later president Zelynski were capable to take the capitals Donetsk and Luhansk from the Donbas freedom fighters.
In the People’s Republic of Donetsk and the People’s Republic of Luhansk, the people struggle in a just, defensive, liberating, legitimate, progressive war. The intervention of Russia is positive insofar Russia sustains on the territory of Donbas the liberation war and the existence of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. On the international scene we observe the existence of two military alliances.
On one hand there is the aggressive, imperialist alliance led by US imperialism, containing 30 NATO countries and armies, and in East Asia also Japan, South Korea and Australia.
Against this alliance, on the other hand, a de facto, factual, military alliance of China, Russia, DPR of Korea, Iran, Syria, Belarus was formed, and reinforced after the US sanctions against Russia and China were installed. In the year 2001, June 15th, already, the Shanghai Co-operation Organization was founded with then China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan as members. Their first joint military exercises were held in 2003. On May 24th, 2022, an air task force composed of Russian Tu-95MS and Chinese H-6K strategic bombers conducted a joint air patrol over the waters of the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) was founded May 15th, 1992. Since 1994 the members are Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. From January 5th to 11th 2022, CSTO-armies were deployed to Kazakhstan in response to attempts to overthrow the Kazakh government.
The military alliance between China and the DPRK exists already from the start of the existence of the DPRK in 1945. After the military operations in Ukraine started in February 2022, the DPRK launched a ballistic missile off its east coast into the sea on 4 March 2022. The DPRK has taken a clear position in this US-led imperialist war:
“The US is gathering together its allies to dispatch a large number of mercenaries to Ukraine and is providing Ukraine with huge military equipment. Its purpose is to weaken Russia and realize its strategy for world hegemony by driving Ukraine to a fight with Russia. The international society, witnessing the grave situation resulted from the US clearly understand who is the main culprit and the peace wrecker disturbing stability and inviting wars all over the world. (March 23th, 2022)”.
Besides the close military alliance against US imperialism, a worldwide alliance is formed. It appeared clearly on March 2th 2022 in the UN General Assembly vote on a resolution condemning Russia and demanding withdrawal of Russia military forces from Ukraine. 214 countries sustained the resolution, amongst which the USA and its allies of NATO, and Japan, Australia and South Korea. Five countries voted against: Russia, Belarus, Syria, the socialist Democratic People’s Republic of Korea , and Eritrea. 52 countries expressed their resistance by abstaining or not taking part in the vote. Amongst them are all the socialist countries, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and China. Remarkable is the huge number of African states, that expressed their disagreement by abstention: Algeria, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Morocco. From Latin America the Alba Countries as Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador. In Asia the abstentions of Iran, India, Pakistan and even Iraq are remarkable.
The first responsibility of all the people’s in the world is to build a world-wide anti-fascist alliance, to resist the US-led war and to eliminate USA imperialism and NATO. This will open the perspective of a world of lasting durable peace, which is only possible when revolutions and socialism will have eliminated the source of war: capitalism and imperialism.
