Next week around this time, there will be a protest march in Washington DC against military actions orchestrated by the United States government. It is named Rage Against the War Machine, and while with a good and reasonable cause, it is a coalition of some differing political ideas. At least, it should be when you consider some of the speakers scheduled to appear Tulsi Gabbard, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Dr. Cynthia McKinney, Col Ann Wright, Chris Hedges, Jimmy Dore, among others. However, among the sponsors of this rally is the Libertarian Party, which has grown more conservative in the ensuing years. We have also been seeing a few Republicans go against the idea of military spending. As you know, I am against the idea of military conflagrations as the sole solution to issues on geopolitical matters. At the same time, though I am in favor of such matters like Ukrainian independence and the need to remove Vladimir Putin from Russian leadership; I do feel that being in full support of any potential United States direct involvement in Ukraine will result in direct military/nuclear war with Russia.
I am sure you feel the same way. Which is one reason the Democratic Party needs to discuss peaceful alternatives to Ukraine matter, along with current issues including the now 5 satellite balloons being brought down. I say this because we are now losing the narrative of being a political party full of ideas on peace and deals and negotiations. It was not this way decades ago, when fellow Democrats were willing to stick their necks out against the “war” of “terror. "And I understand that it is not the primary issue facing Americans today. Yet we do face elections this year and next. And from what I remember in all my years; the candidates who espouse anti-war rhetoric and proposals, real or even imagined, will win elections. Not always, yet quite often. Granted, it did not work for the Republicans in recent years when they attempted to paint Donald Trump as some sort of peace arranger with the not ironclad “Abraham accords.” Their protestations be ignored when mentioning China, as we all know. Indeed, the Democratic Party’s willingness to not go to war with China is a reason President Biden got elected in 2020. This has helped us quite immeasurably.
What we do not want to see is the admittedly localized Ukraine war be expanded if, in our collective lack of foresight, we allow NATO or some form of international body to come into Ukraine and violate the tenants of the expansion policies brought forth after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. We do that, and we lose a great deal of fellow Americans for years to come. What is worse is the Republicans who espouse anti-war rhetoric still are committed to their personal dystopia that will affect us all. It is not hyperbole to say that liberal egalitarian ideals and democracy are still on the ballots and in danger of forever being lost. I would say that reclaiming the anti-war and anti-imperial mindset and policies will only enhance the policies of the Democratic Party this year and in the years ahead. Please consider this proposal. We might not get another chance to get this corrected.

And whats more, Biden could extremely easily (and accurately) link the domestic war for our nation to the one in Ukraine where it is so obvious who are the murderous tyrants are, which is so popular and easy to support.
It is in fact the same struggle - all part of World War 3. The Russians launched their escalated political warfare against the USA in 2014-2015 as a retaliation for perceived US political interference in Ukraine. 2013-2014 “EuroMaidan” in Ukraine was a democratic revolution that seized power from Russia puppet Viktor Yanukovych whose right hand man was Paul Manafort. When Yanukovych lost his grip on power, Ukraine became free of illicit Russian influence, Yanukovych fled to Russia, Russia took Crimea and went to war to create a buffer in Eastern Ukraine. They also turned this new 21st century wmd onto the USA and free world that they’d honed on Ukraine to help get their pawn Yanukovych elected. Coordinated political informational and psychological warfare to subvert the Western establishment that upholds the world order. Its worked, and we’d better get it together or they’ll run off with our kids freedoms. It worries me Biden can’t seem to confront the core of the issue.
It’s also important to remember that the treason of the Republicans is longstanding. Easy for people to forget or dismiss things like elected Senators and Representatives flying to Moscow on July 4, 2018 to “take a knee” before Putin and his cronies. As reported on July 5, 2018 in the American Independent:
“Seven senators — John Kennedy (R-LA), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) — and one House member, Kay Granger (R-TX), are all in Moscow over the Fourth of July holiday this week for talks with Russian lawmakers and officials, according to reporting from the Washington Post, NPR, and investigative reporter Julia Davis.”

Absolutely hits the nail on the head. Thanks for your clarity.
