Prevent World War III — Abolish NATO!
Prevent World War III
Abolish NATO
The US Proxy war with Russia in Ukraine is escalating rapidly. The US and NATO keep pumping in Billions of dollars of new weapons – advanced tanks, Depleted Uranium (DU) munitions, Cluster Bombs, talk of F-16 aircraft, and even tactical nuclear weapons. The direction of this war keeps pointing to greater disasters, now including global nuclear war and the end of civilization as we know it.
Expanding NATO, and more and more weapons, are not the path to peace!
Let’s take a step back. NATO was formed in 1949 as a North Atlantic Treaty Organization to solve international disputes peacefully, including disputes with the Soviet Union, and save future generations from the scourge of war. The Soviet Union ended in 1991 but NATO has kept expanding membership and pushing closer toward Russia, provoking the current war in Ukraine.
The US pays more than 50% of NATO’s budget so basically NATO is the US war lapdog. NATO has been involved in US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, etc. hardly in line with its founding principles as a defensive alliance to settle disputes through peaceful means.
Former US Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, wrote an important article “The Dissolution of NATO May Be the Only Way to Prevent WWIII – 10 Reasons why NATO Ought to be Disbanded.” See the article here: https://denniskucinich.substack.com/…/the-dissolution…
