No War with China Oct. 15, 2021 Hilo Peace Vigil leaflet
NO War with China!
If you thought the U.S. Trillion dollar wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc. were bad, with millions killed, injured, displaced and made refugees, a war with China would be far worse.
Co-founder of the Committee for a SANE U.S.-China Policy, Joseph Gerson, wrote in an article for Common Dreams that “Taiwan has become the most dangerous flashpoint for great power and potentially nuclear war.” He warned: “Preventing accidents or miscalculations (political as well as military) that could trigger armed conflict that could easily escalate to nuclear war is now an urgent priority.” See full article here Opinion | Taiwan: A War That Must Never Be Fought | Joseph Gerson (commondreams.org) Recently a US nuclear sub in waters near China ran into something and was damaged. We still don’t know what it hit, but it had to limp into Guam for emergency repairs. That very easily could have been a triggering event.
You heard the expression ‘Don’t talk about the speck in another person’s eye and ignore the log in your own.” Well, the map below shows the log in the U.S. eye – military bases surrounding China. In recent years, there has been a massive U.S. military build-up in the Indo-Pacific Command focused on China. Remember the recent news of US assassin “Reaper” drones now being based in Hawaii and Guam and training at Pohakuloa in the center of Hawaii Island? Next to come are the Marines new loitering munitions, which are often described as “suicide drones.” It’s all about China. See https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42707/this-is-our-first-look-at-the-marines-loitering-munition-armed-light-armored-vehicle And don’t forget the recent US and British deal to sell nuclear subs to Australia. What do you think those nuke subs are for? Demilitarize Hawaii, the Pacific and the world now! Prevent the next war before it starts, or it maybe the world’s last war!
