               On Feb 1st  Russian President Putin at a press conference  pointed out that the responses from the U.S. and Nato to the Russian treaty proposals to stop NATO expansionism made it clear ... “that the fundamental Russian concerns were ignored.”

              

               He continued with an extremely important insight as to what was behind the current aggression from the West   He told the press

               that the U.S. and NATO weren’t really concerned with Ukraine’s

               security, but were using that issue as a kind of bear trap, as an

               excuse to launch all-out economic warfare against Russia in order to

               destroy its economy and prevent the country’s industrialization. “Its

               main task is to hamper Russia’s development.... Ukraine just serves

               as a means to achieve this goal ...Can you comment

12:18:12 From  Wendy Dwyer  to  Everyone:

               Thanks for speaking truth to power Joe.  We were told Sadam Hussain was killing babies in incubators.  We are great at false flag lies.  We bombed shelters in Iraq and killed babies and families hiding from us. Crimes Against Humanity by US …Not In Our Names…

12:18:25 From  Elena Bistrizcaia  to  Everyone:

               Let's write on paper I'm NOT an AGGRESSOR, put a sheet on the back window of the car and launch an international action in all countries. especially to NATO member countries. It is necessary to oblige the governments of NATO countries to fulfill the demand of the people - to break the contract with NATO and leave the territory of Ukraine, Poland, Romania and other countries along the Russian perimeter.

12:18:31 From  Philip Does  to  Everyone:

               Jules, you speak the truth!

12:22:02 From  Steve Leigh  to  Everyone:

               Where do you stand on the Russian troops in Kazakhstan suppressing the popular uprising against authoritarianism?

12:23:07 From  Sanaz Ghodsi  to  Everyone:

               @steve Leigh  do you understand that there are al Qaeda militants and even Israeli soldiers participating in the “popular resistance against authoritarianism” ?

12:23:39 From  diane nahas  to  Everyone:

               Can you talk louder

12:24:06 From  Steve Leigh  to  Everyone:

               Does that invalidate the whole popular movement ?

12:24:46 From  Ann Wright  to  Everyone:

               A week ago, my article came out in the Sunday edition Honolulu Star advertiser as the lead article in "Insights". BRINK OF WAR? U.S.’ RUSSIA-UKRAINE DILEMMA  https://bit.ly/34CDS9O

              

                              January 30, 2022.

              

                             

              

                              Honolulu Star Advertiser is the local newspaper in the city with the Headquarters of the US military's Indo-Pacific Command--I hope the senior leadership of the US military for Asia and the Pacific will read it!!!

12:25:13 From  Sanaz Ghodsi  to  Everyone:

               Steve, you need to study the orchestrated “popular uprising” in Syria that was used to carry out a regime change war by supporting terrorist factions. This is playing out again in Kazakhstan and is understandably a national security concern for Russia

12:25:13 From  Jules Rensch  to  Hosts and panelists:

               folks, ck out War Resisters League......warresisters.org

12:25:36 From  Bruce Gagnon  to  Everyone:

               Any way to enable Transcription?  And Save Chat?

12:26:25 From  Sanaz Ghodsi  to  Everyone:

               Yes, it does Steve. A movement that is hijacked by terrorists and imperial powers is not a “popular movement” it is an imperial operation that will only lead to another destabilized country overtaken by terrorists. Let’s not be naive about this.

12:26:46 From  Mary Finneran  to  Everyone:

12:31:35 From  Amy Martin  to  Hosts and panelists:

               The Donbas? What’s that?

12:31:40 From  Leonid Ilderkin  to  Hosts and panelists:

               My summary is such: the conflict most likely can be escalated by provocations from the side of Kiev. But Russian elite does not want this escalation by no means!

12:31:42 From  Valdi Weiderpass  to  Everyone:

               Please don't count me as agreeing with the premise of this talk.

12:31:46 From  Alice Slater  to  Everyone:

               Check out Bruce's blog: http://space4peace.blogspot.com/

12:31:55 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Why can they just have a plebiscite to decide  as to what the population of Donbas wants?

12:32:18 From  Alice Slater  to  Everyone:

               in these times. Correction

12:32:29 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               Recently learned Chernobyl is in Ukraine.

12:32:31 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               I believe it was George H W Bush who began NATO expansion

12:33:08 From  Monisha Ríos  to  Everyone:

               @Michael S. Goodman - a plebiscite in the midst of US interventionism would not be fruitful.

12:33:15 From  Valdi Weiderpass  to  Everyone:

               What country took what other country's territory in 2014 and invaded other parts?

12:33:18 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Because the result of the plebiscite is known and it will not be in favor of Ukraine and the United States.

12:33:23 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               Clinton promised  a "peace dividend" after the cold war was over....  the MIC had other ideas.  Ukraine already suffers from radioactivity from Chernobyl.

12:33:25 From  Janet Weil  to  Everyone:

               I spoke about this at yesterday's rally in Portland Oregon. Could be in letters to the editor, folks.

12:33:51 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Donald Smith, I'd say that Leonid was speaking about capitalism and how Ukraine has suffered from it.

12:34:24 From  Steve Leigh  to  Everyone:

               Russian state is also authoritarian. Where does this group stand on the struggle for democracy in Russia?

12:34:25 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               almost as much as the cost of Afghanistan1

12:34:37 From  Harriet Heywood  to  Everyone:

               According to Washington, Russia has no right to protect its borders.  That's the opposite of what Washington says about its own borders.

12:34:42 From  Valdi Weiderpass  to  Everyone:

               So spending determines who is the threat to small countries in Eastern Europe?

12:34:45 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               Billion, Trillion, for our government for militarism there is no difference.

12:35:08 From  John Philpot  to  Everyone:

               Lets not distract from this interesting speaker Steve

12:35:46 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Now nationalists in Ukraine have made a "dirty" atomic bomb. It was tested at the DNC in the Chernobyl zone.

12:38:07 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

12:41:10 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               The US has been, against Obama's warning, showering Ukraine with weapons (Javelins, of impeachment fame). If we send it, they will shoot it.

12:41:37 From  Charlotte Burns  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I could cry when I read local letters to the editor in the Springfield, MA area and listen to people’s opinions of the Ukraine situation and of Vladmir Putin. People are so brainwashed in this country by our main stream media. It’s hard to push back against this. I listened to Oliver Stone’s interviews with Putin and realized what a thoughtful, philosophical, intelligent person he is. I was wishing we could have leadership like that. I’ve run into people from Russia who say the Russians love Putin because he’s stabilized the country and brought it out of a depression far worse than our own of the 30’s. They believe everything they hear on CNN and MSNBC and sadly on PBS.

12:42:43 From  Charlotte Burns  to  Hosts and panelists:

               And the US were responsible for their depression.

12:43:20 From  Ken Heard  to  Hosts and panelists:

12:48:38 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Exactlt, Phil !

12:49:28 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               The MSM calls the population of Donbass "Russian separatists"; they are the natives defending their home.

12:49:32 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               спасибо большое!

12:49:41 From  IMELDA AGUILERA  to  Everyone:

               NATO has the capability to launch nuclear offensive missiles that will reach Moscow in 5 to 7 minutes time. Russia is defending it's borders.

12:50:03 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               So does Russia!

12:50:35 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Holly that's Russian your writing there?

12:52:47 From  Francis McCloskey  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I am here, but that's just to hear more information. I don't necessarily agree with your cause. Fascism in Ukraine absolutely must be defeated but not by means of a Russian invasion. That has to be prevented. I don't want Ukrainians to get hurt.

12:53:02 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Let Russia join NATO.  Problem solved!  lol

12:55:56 From  Bob Spies  to  Everyone:

               Washington has been talking about "fake Russian videos" that show a Western Ukrainian attack on Donbas. I wonder if there is a real attack on Donbas and Russia is forced to respond, Washington/NATO will now be able claim any evidence of the initial attack by Western Ukraine was really these "fake" videos was just an excuse for Russia to invade.

               Interesting point, David Burman. Sometimes (Afghanistan/Pakistan) human created borders overshadow social/cultural relationships, which need to be considered. Not sure how, but I think it is an issue.

13:04:44 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               Wow!

13:04:46 From  Andre Sheldon  to  Everyone:

               The domineering way comes from male socialization.  No blame is cast, but the patriarchal way of solving problems rules!

              

               David Swanson called it, "macho blustering."

              

               It will never change - UNLESS women take the world stage for a cause that affects everyone!

               One of the largest world problems is militarism and war!

              

               Stopping war will affect ALL ISSUES!

              

               Therefore, I propose women rise-up and unite as the peacemakers!  THE PLAN is READY!

13:13:19 From  Janet Weil  to  Everyone:

               Call Congress (for US citizens/residents) to say vote NO on S. 3488 and H.R. 6470 to "rush & crush" - rush $500 million to Ukrainian govt & crush Russian economy with sanctions

13:13:19 From  Monisha Ríos  to  Everyone:

               Thank you Larissa!

13:13:21 From  Janet Slagter  to  Everyone:

               Clearly, Larissa knows English. So glad she corrected Joe’s statement about her language abilities. In reference to Andre’s post, note that there is only one woman on the panel, she appears last, and her ability was wrongly characterized at the outset. Beware sexism in the peace movement.

13:13:27 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               Thank-you Larissa!

13:13:29 From  Caterina Lai Cullinane  to  Everyone:

               Thank you Larissa

13:13:29 From  PATRICIA SALISBURY  to  Everyone:

               By the way, several speakers mentioned the importance of China and the BRI, Did people notice that poser George Soros called for the overthrow of President XI of China last week?

13:13:31 From  Lisa Savage  to  Everyone:

               Thanks you Larissa. That was quite informative & well put.

13:13:32 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

13:14:08 From  Stephanie Trasoff  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thank you, Janet.

13:14:20 From  Stephanie Trasoff  to  Everyone:

               Thank you, Janet.

13:14:26 From  Robert RICHARD  to  Everyone:

               Thank you Larrisa, UK history-Churchill Spin is bunk.

13:14:32 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Thank you, Larissa Shessler. I appreciate your analysis of the hypocrisy of the U.S. towards regimes like that of Saudi Arabia, which are not criticized for oppression of women, and the way that Russia is constantly hammered.

13:14:34 From  Sheila Goldner  to  Everyone:

               The three dots are not there.

13:14:39 From  Akihiko Yoshida  to  Everyone:

               I'd like to save the chat, too.

13:14:59 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Yes, the host has to adjust that if s/he wants.

13:15:51 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               NPR was silent on the 2/2014 coup, but UPROAR on Putting taking back Russian speaking Crimea.

13:16:01 From  Clarke Joseph H.  to  Everyone:

               The stench of hypocrisy always precedes the jack boot of imperialism.

13:17:05 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Yes, becauseKrushchev was from Ukraine!

13:17:12 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               We all wondered why Kruschev did that.

13:17:19 From  Bob Spies  to  Everyone:

               Question: Are the U.S. stories about "fake Russian videos" really just preparation so that if Western Ukraine attacks the Donbas and Russia is forced to respond, US/NATO can claim that the evidence of the initial attack is fake and Russia just wanted to invade?

13:17:40 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               yes Michael S Goodman!

13:17:48 From  Jack Daniels  to  Everyone:

               Thank you for this meeting everyone. Could you please share your opinion what the US can do regarding Russia's security demands considering that it no longer has military means to make Russia back off and acceptance of Russian demands will be viewed by allies and enemies as weakness ?

13:17:51 From  Janet Weil  to  Everyone:

               Where's Larissa?

13:18:09 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               I understand Kruschev was trying to get his success or as Ukrainian Party Secretary to support his candidacy for Russian president.

13:18:26 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Of course, until 1991, it didn't really matter who controlled Crimea!

13:18:57 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               When an employee gets a company car, and quits employment, he doesn't get to keep the car.

13:19:03 From  Nikolai Burlakoff  to  Everyone:

               Dianne Foster Khrushchev turned Crimea over to Ukraine in exchange for Ukrainian support for his candidacy for 1st Secretary.

13:19:06 From  Stephanie Trasoff  to  Everyone:

               1783 - only 7 years after 1776!

13:19:26 From  irena Varjabedian  to  Everyone:

               was Crimea ever an independent country?

13:19:29 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               is not Ukraine the original base of Russia, and it only means lowland of Russia? How did Ukraine become independent ?

13:19:31 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               True, Kruhschev was not yet firmly in control as of 1954.

13:19:46 From  Lisa Savage  to  Everyone:

               Did Larissa just get silenced?

13:20:02 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               No, just muted.

13:20:28 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               Communism is the only SOLUTION. The planet belongs us all. Our responsibility is to take care of that part of our planet where we were born and by doing so care of the whole!

13:20:36 From  Diane Dicranian  to  Everyone:

               Let her speak

13:20:52 From  Dennis Nancoo  to  Everyone:

               Here! Here! Crimea is Russian. As it was in the beginning so shall it be henceforth. Long live a united Crimea with Russia!

13:20:54 From  Francis McCloskey  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Fascism in Ukraine has to be defeated, and then Crimea must be given back to Ukraine! Russia is enormous. Crimea is a much bigger loss to Ukraine than it would be to Russia.

13:21:05 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Ukraine became independent in 1991.

13:21:19 From  Bruce Gagnon  to  Joe Lombardo(Direct Message):

               Joe, call on Larissa

13:21:20 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Get rid of NATO!

13:21:21 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Well done Bruce

13:22:05 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               Get rid of NATO and capitalism all over the world.

13:22:24 From  Elena Bistrizcaia  to  Everyone:

               hold actions under the Russian embassy? express trust? let's hold pickets under the embassies of NATO countries demanding the annulment of contracts with NATO

13:22:24 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Da, Pravda!

13:22:26 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               If Russia is forced to return Crimea to Ukraine, Mexico might want to open discussion with the US regarding Texas.

13:22:46 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Crimea has been Russian since the 18th century.

13:23:01 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               Texas, California, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada

13:23:30 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Yeah Jacqueline end capitalism NOW!!

13:23:33 From  Mary Finneran  to  Everyone:

               New Mexico.

13:23:39 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Thjey can have CA back!

13:23:45 From  Jack Daniels  to  Everyone:

               @Phil: NATO doesn't have upper hand in this game to force Russia to do anything.

13:23:53 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Texas, Mexico and the USA are a completely different story.

13:23:58 From  Hannah Hadikin  to  Everyone:

13:24:29 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               They don't call it the Russian river for nothing!

13:24:31 From  Ellen Thomas  to  Everyone:

               There's so much flying back and forth, it's hard to know what's propaganda and what's truth, from all sides!

13:24:40 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               Ukraine, for all practical purposes is part of NATO. And, is not being accepted in organization, only because of jealousy of certain east European countries.

13:24:42 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               As there is no international organization that sanctions the U.S., the only recourse to stop U.S. aggression is through the court of international public opinion.

13:24:42 From  Alice Slater  to  Hosts and panelists:

               The US isn’t going to push for Ukraine to join NATO!  Let’s talk about solutions, not what ifs!  How about a neutral Ukraine like Austria?

13:24:47 From  Nikolai Burlakoff  to  Everyone:

               To the speakers: Please refrain from individual interpretations  of history . The purpose of the meeting is to find ways for peace.

13:25:06 From  Alice Slater  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Amen!

13:25:16 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               COMMUNISM IS THE ANSWER

13:25:19 From  Mary Finneran  to  Everyone:

               I actually thought the US was more likely to create the false flag

13:25:22 From  Ellen Thomas  to  Everyone:

               Yes, Nikolai!

13:25:38 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               It's known as "American Exceptionalism", Ariel !

13:25:56 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               what peace, NATO is on fascist like blitzkrieg against Asia

13:25:56 From  Brenda Hines  to  Everyone:

               agree

13:26:14 From  Ellen Thomas  to  Everyone:

               Agree with what, Brenda?

13:26:26 From  Francis McCloskey  to  Everyone:

               No, Jacqueline, fascism is dangerous, but so is Communism. I strongly object to both.

13:26:38 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               The problem with history is that people pick the date history started to serve their political purposes. True, we need to rise above this in resolving current issues.

13:26:49 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Depend on what is meant by "communism".

13:26:54 From  Mary Finneran  to  Everyone:

               IMO the media talks about Russian false flags is a US false flag.

13:26:54 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               "They" being the fascists in Kiev?

13:27:11 From  Stephanie Trasoff  to  Everyone:

               Francis: Visit Cuba! You might like it.

13:27:18 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Right end NATO and the $50B arms trade with the US

13:27:26 From  IMELDA AGUILERA  to  Everyone:

               Remember "Mario Savio (December 8, 1942 – November 6, 1996) was an American activist and a key member of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement. He is most famous for his passionate speeches, especially the "put your bodies upon the gears" address given at Sproul Hall, University of California, Berkeley on December 2, 1964."?

13:27:26 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               Our imperialist rulers made you believe that communism and fascism are the same.

13:27:44 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               NATO is fighting China and Iran, at the same time. as it has conquered Africa again, which may be waking up now, very slowly

13:28:00 From  Brenda Hines  to  Everyone:

               agree the Movement(s) Mr. Ajamu stating

13:28:01 From  Barbara Phinney  to  Everyone:

               ++++++

13:28:22 From  Francis McCloskey  to  Everyone:

               Communism is far-left authoritarianism. The one thing fascists and Communists have in common is that these 2 extreme sides rule with an iron fist.

13:28:29 From  IMELDA AGUILERA  to  Everyone:

               China already runs Africa!

13:28:38 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Jacqueline 👍

13:28:54 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               If communism and fascism are the same, why them attack the SOVIET UNOIN and let Hitler advance as far as he did?

13:29:03 From  Monisha Ríos  to  Everyone:

               Well said Ajamu

13:29:20 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               NATO has murdered the arbitration body, that us supposed to be the security council, via twenty years of illegitimate wars

13:29:33 From  Margaret Kimberley  to  Hosts and panelists:

               China runs Africa? Who owns all the seaports in west Africa? A French billionaire. Who controls Francophone Africa currencies. The French.

               Also, why throw in a comment about Africa and China in this webinar?

13:29:44 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Except False Flag is a big part of the US imperialist playbook Ajamu

13:30:05 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Hitler, it is true, modelled his security services and Party-State model on the Soviet system.

13:30:05 From  Marion Yuen  to  Everyone:

               Many thanks to the speakers and organizers <3.

13:30:20 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               Because Stalin ruled with an iron fist DOES NOT mean that communism needs to rule with an iron fist. The distortions of communism by the Soviet Union brought the revolution down.

13:30:29 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Surely there are enough intelligent people in the world that we could put our heads together and develop better economic systems that benefit the majority of people. Unfortunately we are given a false narrative that democracy goes with capitalism, when actually capitalism is essentially an anti-democratic economic system.

13:30:40 From  Dennis Nancoo  to  Everyone:

               Well said Prof. Kozin.

13:30:50 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Who will explain about the False Flag? What kind of operation is this?

13:30:56 From  Ajamu Baraka  to  Everyone:

               Paul, we can/should discuss, but hopefully we don't spend too much time on it.

13:31:06 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               As we are finally starting to learn, ariel.

13:31:45 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               Good point Jacqueline. State socialism as conducted in the USSR is not the only way to do communism.

13:31:46 From  Ellen Thomas  to  Everyone:

               "isms" always get ruined.  In the U.S., I like the ideas of social democracy and progressive thinking.

13:31:49 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Thank you for your kind reply Ajamu. Great to hear you here!

13:31:53 From  Charlotte Burns  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Just a comment. I hope the US isn’t plotting another 9/11. We’re masters of the false flag. And no matter how obvious it is that we perpetrated this false flag, like even being caught red handed with the 1993 FBI attack on the World Trade Center, people in this country are so brainwashed, so deluded, so cognitively dissonant no matter how obvious a US false flag on the Ukraine may be, the Russians will be blamed and the war mongers in DC will get their war. Every Biden  so called liberal will be jumping up and down salivating over this. That’s so sad. The drum beat for the war will be like the Superbowl on steroids. I am so sick of this country, I could scream!

13:31:58 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               Americans are in no position to sit on the high horse and speak from an exceptional point of view, for if wars break out Americans can kiss their ads goodbye.

13:32:11 From  kara j lincoln  to  Everyone:

               It appears chat does not see Q+A right? so My answer is I repeat;kara j lincoln

13:32:53 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Tnank you, Prof. Kozin, the people of Donbass have suffered greatly from state sponsored violence.

13:33:40 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               please, stop the preaching about loving life and being mindful, you and your State are responsible for this state of affairs

13:33:41 From  Charlotte Burns  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I don’t think the US has one ounce of intelligence in it’s government, and I’m not referring to CIA “intelligence.” Maybe the CIA should be the Central Stupidity Agency.

13:34:03 From  Ajamu Baraka  to  Everyone:

               I agree, if the coup govt attacks we must support the people and recommend their right to self-determination

13:34:40 From  Donald Saunders  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Increasing import of weapons into the area by either Nato or Russiaa will not help the move towards peace - it never does . Don S.

13:35:22 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Not unlike the fake scenario Hitler used to declare war on Poland!

13:35:26 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               This is war now. self determination and words have lost all meaning because of repeated Zionist false-flags and imperialist lies

13:35:41 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Thank you, Prof. Kozin, for describing a couple ways we might see a false flag event.

13:35:41 From  Dolores Libow  to  Everyone:

               Thank you to Ajamu Baraka for trying to broaden conversation.

13:36:10 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               Thought experiment: For those of us suggesting Ukraine should be more open to discussion with Donbass separatists, we might challenge ourselves regarding how to discuss issues with right wing Americans.

13:36:39 From  Andie Liu  to  Everyone:

               "AN EYE FOR AN EYEE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH UNTIL AMERICAN IMPERIALISM IS DEAD." This is what I believe. By any means necessary. (Sorry everybody, I’m still bitter about when U.S/NATO bombed radio station “Radio-Television-Serbia” in Belgrade April 23, 1999. NATO claims it's a “defensive organization”—how is bombing a radio station/ killing 16 civilians who work in radio in Serbia 1999 something NATO had to do to for its own ”self-defense”????:

               https://balkaninsight.com/2021/04/23/suspicions-persist-about-natos-deadly-bombing-of-serbian-tv/

13:36:45 From  William Kohr  to  Hosts and panelists:

               A completely necessary and correct position.

13:36:55 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               How many people of Donbass have fled to Russia?   I thought about 100,000.

13:37:06 From  Monisha Ríos  to  Everyone:

               The U.S. has 4800 defense sites on all continents in more than 160 countries

13:37:13 From  jill stein  to  Everyone:

               Question to the speakers: (Apologies if i missed it early in the program.) Do you view the MINSK II agreement as a viable and legitimate path forward? Many in the peace movement are pointing to it as the way to protect the interests and sovereignty of the Donbass/Eastern Ukraine and Russian security concerns. Do you agree?

13:37:25 From  Nikolai Burlakoff  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thank yoou, Joe!

13:37:26 From  Jack Daniels  to  Everyone:

               Do you folks have discussion chat on Telegram or something ? If not I can create one. Модераторы, можно это сделать?

13:37:32 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               the bottom line is that we should not support these Zionist Imperialists war mongering to the best of our abilities. otherwise there is no word nor concept that is going to save you

13:37:36 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Our job as the peace movement to stay the hand of our own government, thank you Joe Lombardo.

13:37:51 From  Valdi Weiderpass  to  Everyone:

               This whole discussion conveniently ignores what has happened in Eastern Europe for 7 decades, as to who the aggressor was against Eastern Europe and held territory for 6 decades after WWII.

13:38:08 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Inner Mongolia is a part of China!

13:38:16 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               Yes, Ariel.. The task of the patriot is to defend his country from its government.

13:38:29 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               greetings, Dr. Stein!  Great question!

13:38:34 From  Wendy Dwyer  to  Everyone:

               MLK  the greatest purveyor of violence …my own government”

13:39:29 From  Ann Wright  to  Everyone:

               I was Deputy Ambassador in Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan and Mongolia before I resigned in 2003 in opposition to the war on Iraq.

13:39:30 From  Katherine Sogolow  to  Everyone:

               As long as we demonize either side or all sides, I don't see how we make much progress. I think part of the solution is to focus on common  human needs, equality, justice with nonviolent communication...something along the lines of restorative justice, where all parties come to the table to settle wrongs perceived and differences sustained. Also, getting money out of politics would be huge.

13:39:39 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               This discussion does not ignore that but proves why Russia needed to occupy eastern Europe to prevent imperialist aggression, of the Zionist Anglo-Americans,

13:39:48 From  John Perniciaro  to  Everyone:

               Just joined late appreciate so much your work.  We have family in Rostov Oblast.  We are veru worried.

13:40:03 From  kara j lincoln  to  Everyone:

13:40:06 From  Margaret Kimberley  to  Everyone:

               I'm dreading the false flag that will come from the US. I'm thinking it may be like Syria, gas attacks or something else causing civilian casualties that will be blamed on Russia.

13:40:49 From  Katherine Sogolow  to  Everyone:

               why can we not get our world leaders to focus on nuclear disarmament and putting resources toward solving climate change? These two issues affect every human being.

13:40:55 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               hello Margaret, and I agree

13:40:56 From  Stephanie Trasoff  to  Everyone:

               John: Thank you for making all of this real. We need to save your family, and everyone’s.

13:40:57 From  Vicki Ryder  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Joe, if you assign someone else as co-host, they should be able to save the chat if you can't do it. Just don't close the call until someone else can do it!! If you look at the bottom right of your chat, you should see a little drop down menu that gives you the option to save the chat.... Hope this helps!

13:41:06 From  Alice Slater  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Can we please talk about promoting the recent speech by Putin and Xi which made so many suggestions for peace moves in space cyber, missiles see http://en.kremlin. Ru/supplement/5770

13:41:08 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               The Soviet Union won the war against fascism. Eastern Europe is the result of that victory.

               Third World Network - twn.my

13:41:10 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               Britain defined geopolitics and in essence it means, to rule the world the Anglo-American have to rule Asia and make them capitulate

13:41:20 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               Consortium News is good.

13:41:20 From  Sanaz Ghodsi  to  Hosts and panelists:

13:41:32 From  Richard Ochs  to  Everyone:

               Let's demand that Biden expand the Ukraine talks with Putin about nuclear disarmament as described in  www.bmore4peace.org

13:41:37 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               The Anglo-American Zionist Imperialists shall be defeated

13:41:53 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               and Breakthrough News

13:41:56 From  Andie Liu  to  Everyone:

               Oh well, I guess I am not an “important enough person in the movement” to have my question in Q and A answered. (Joe purposefully ignored it)  He spent 5 minutes on Ann Wright’s question, which came 20 minutes after mine, becuz she was an “important person in the movement” (So much for claims of non-hierarchy within activism!!)

13:41:58 From  John Perniciaro  to  Everyone:

               Branch out---Limes/Mappa Mundi in Italian---excellent analysis

13:42:37 From  Valdi Weiderpass  to  Everyone:

               What country that has the most land area held many Eastern European countries as part of its empire for about a half century.  Amazing that this discussion ignores the behavior of this nation during that time and much of the time afterward.  This large nation is not the victim.

13:42:57 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               How many people on the call?

13:43:10 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Mr. Ilderkin has a wonderful idea, a Zoom like this once a month. And for Mr. Gagnon, thank God for RT.

13:43:24 From  Nikolai Burlakoff  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Козин! было бы хорошо если бы перестали разжигать страсти. Вы не за мир, а за воину.

13:43:28 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               I like that idea, Leonid Ilderkin, of meeting like this on a monthly basis. I appreciate all the links that people provide. It's been exciting to me to encounter other activists who don't want war with Russia.

13:43:28 From  Дмитрий Никонов  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I have a question. How will you all react if there is an armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia? Who will you support?

13:43:35 From  Joe Halligan  to  Everyone:

               may the world enjoy peace

               I agree more updates because like me my head is in research and budgets so thank you for updates!

13:44:13 From  Joachim Stephan  to  Everyone:

               In Germany, RT Deutsch  has been disallowed to send it's TV Program - that's no censorship, of Course! We are a Democracy. But the very useful Russian media is outside the allowed corridor of discourse. That's shaming!

13:44:17 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               No justice no peace. We most avoid imperialist wars and fight for justice everywhere.

13:45:10 From  Faramarz  to  Everyone:

               The "small countries" Valdi Weiderpass mentions are the ones in which the local nationalist ruling class collaborated with Nazis to send the Jewish people to the death camps. Thank goodness the Allies kicked the Nazis out and took the local collaborators out of power!

13:45:12 From  Robert RICHARD  to  Everyone:

               Patton was never going to get a fifth star crashing the Danube. But they sent MacArthur to Korea to criminalize Asians!!

13:45:14 From  Mary Finneran  to  Everyone:

               Valdi, the Soviet bloc ended in 91, less than 5 decades.  And over 30 years ago.  The US is the aggressor here.  For control of resources.

13:46:03 From  Joe Kelly  to  Everyone:

               If we talking deep history here... we need to look back at decisions the Bolsheviks under Lenin made concerning Ukraine. There is quite a bit of misunderstanding and manipulation of info on Lenin's decisions with respect.

13:46:21 From  efia nwangaza  to  Everyone:

               Thx UNAC and presenters for this event and opportunity to educate our community.

13:46:25 From  Sanaz Ghodsi  to  Everyone:

13:47:33 From  Julie Harris  to  Hosts and panelists:

               For future, if Leonid keeps his head from moving back and forth, he would be heard more clearly. His voice goes in and out with head going back and forth. Sorry I didn't mention this sooner. Thank you all for helping educate myself, family and friends. We will share and spread the information.

13:47:43 From  kara j lincoln  to  Everyone:

               kara j lincoln

               (You)

               10:17 AM

               Folks, I would like to share more if you contact each speaker would contact me; kareje@ictts.org Wy because I sharing now w/a few a peace platform sharing intermediaries solutions as well to add what missing? But please do you ever look at the trauma from all of us as well those in war, making these decisions? I will briefly give. So I hope and many instead of you saying you will attack etc. how about look at root deeper. Ex; then I not interfere, MRI diagnostic tool of brain shows when people in trauma accumulating even from child, frontal lobe shrinks and amagily the primitive brain gets larger, vice versa, MRI will show it get larger in frontal lobe when one heals! as we learn to go back in to each trauma and rewrite the story, w/skilled if need to guide, as we created and we perceived it then,and now can become in control of our brain not allow ourselves to be a servant of it no more destroying in every cell of the body leading to disease!! These ill w/trauma cannot make good

13:47:48 From  Holly Horne  to  Everyone:

               thank you UNAC and speakers!

13:47:57 From  Robert RICHARD  to  Everyone:

               Yes, thank you, Joe Lombardo, Bruce Gagnon, Ajamu Baraka, Prof. Kozin, Leonid Ilderkin, and Larissa Shessler. Kudos!

13:48:12 From  Nikolai Burlakoff  to  Everyone:

               Since the moderator ignored my question, I would like to share it with everyone: Why do the speakers not recognize that the war between US and Russia is already in full force on the economic and propaganda fronts? While currently there is no direct armed clashes, the war "by other means" is in full force.

13:48:20 From  Jacqueline Villagomez  to  Everyone:

               Thank you to all speakers!

13:48:21 From  Valdi Weiderpass  to  Everyone:

               So now someone conveniently blamed occupied nations for 'participating' in holocaust.  Totally disingenuous.

13:48:26 From  Philip Does  to  Everyone:

               Thank you UNAC!

13:48:30 From  Clarke Joseph H.  to  Everyone:

13:48:31 From  Michael S Goodman  to  Everyone:

               Khorasho !

13:48:33 From  Terisa Turner  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Can we focus on global, coordinated counter-power to both stop this military, nuclear threat but more fundamentally, moving to real, international democracy around a commoning, post-fossil-capitalism world?

13:48:36 From  Jonathan Flanders  to  Everyone:

               Aaron Mate got on Tucker Carlson to discuss the demonization of Russia.

13:49:27 From  Francis McCloskey  to  Everyone:

               I just heard China mentioned. The Chinese government has to stop committing genocide against the Uyghur people immediately!

13:49:34 From  John Perniciaro  to  Everyone:

               Exactly, we in the US are the real target---"we the people" here are suffering in a rich country--we need an empire like a hole in the head---

13:49:40 From  Maurizio Torti  to  Hosts and panelists:

               The peace need the dialog

13:49:45 From  Margaret Kimberley  to  Everyone:

13:50:37 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Yes, Ajamu Baraka, let's delegitimize NATO in the U.S.. Yes it's anachronistic. It's a white supremicst organization. Have you written about this?

13:50:40 From  Wendy Dwyer  to  Everyone:

               I have so much to learn, cannot thank you all enough and agree would be great to repeat at a regular basis

13:50:47 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               it's either NATO that goes into dustbin of history, or we as humanity.

13:50:50 From  Alice Slater  to  Hosts and panelists:

               If we’re going to build an anti imperialist movement in the US we have to rename it or people will turn a deaf ear at even hearing those words. We need to educate Americans about how capitalism is killing all of us and Mother Earth!

13:50:52 From  Terisa Turner  to  Hosts and panelists:

               CodePink is pressing for an end to NATO along with an end to fossil fueled capitalism.

13:53:37 From  jill stein  to  Everyone:

               Consider holding your congressional representative accountable. 202-224-3121. Most are supporting the bill to send another 1/2 billion dollars in weapons to Ukraine. Demand they stop it…. while we build the movement to dismantle NATO, join the nuclear ban, slash military funding, and throw the war-mongering bums out. Of course don’t hold your breath for their response. But they should hear from us. Opposition is overwhelming.

13:53:46 From  Stephanie Trasoff  to  Everyone:

               Valdi: We are trying to stop war. There is no shame in that, ever.

13:54:16 From  Faramarz  to  Everyone:

               No kidding. Do you have relatives who lived in occupied countries for almost half a century?

13:55:13 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Jack Daniels, we need to transition our economy in the U.S., shifting from a military industrialist imperialist economy to a peace loving economy that supports a good life for ALL people. It doesn't have to crash the economy. The devil is in the details of how this paradigm shift gets implemented.

13:55:15 From  Clarke Joseph H.  to  Everyone:

               We are trying to stop war. There is no shame in that, ever!

13:55:27 From  Phil Nichols  to  Everyone:

               Not enough time to discuss, but I would wonder what Valdi sees NATO providing.

13:55:29 From  Terisa Turner  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Can we have a regular zoom - weekly at least - on Ukraine and peace avenues? Is UNAC interested in such regular meetings? We need to hear from youth, women, rural, urban and many other groups and constituencies.

13:56:01 From  Mary Finneran  to  Everyone:

               Amen, Valdi, Nato is a military coalition, we are anti-military.   I am of Irish descent and understand imperial oppression.  Sorry for your family history.  Oppression is ubiquitous.

13:56:23 From  Terisa Turner  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Can we unpack Ajman’s call to turn imperialist wars into anti-imperialist wars? Is this an echo of the Vietnam era of turn gums around?
