On the Brink of War
Again!
Haven’t we learned anything after
decades of war?
The War drums are beating louder and louder over Ukraine. The Military-Industrial Complex – Arms makers are gearing up the factories and walking their profits to the banks. The US and NATO are moving eastward, closer and closer to Russia against decades of broken promises. So what’s new? Now with Ukraine being on Russia’s border, and possibly joining NATO, Russia is saying enough!

Remember the words of warning by former US General and President Dwight David Eisenhower in his Jan. 17, 1961 farewell address to the nation: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” And Dr. Martin Luther King’s words in 1967: “the U.S. is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.”
Today, the US and Russia are the world’s two most highly armed nuclear powers. There is an increasing risk of war, by accident or design, that could quickly spiral out of control to the use of nuclear weapons causing global destruction. We must not let this happen. Speak out Now!
DE-escalate War Tensions!
Diplomacy NOT War!
Solution starter: Ukraine remains neutral and does not become a member of NATO.
1. Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
4. Oppose all discrimination, anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, etc.
5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.
