As Zelensky Speaks to Congress: Core Facts
Noting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to visit Washington today, the group RootsAction.org states that his visit should not be allowed to obscure these “basic facts”:
- The U.S. and allies have worked against the negotiation of peace.
- Unlimited free weapons works against the negotiation of peace.
- No total victory is possible in the foreseeable future, and the U.S. has been preparing for another endless war.
- Unlimited free weapons is a choice that sacrifices all the human and environmental crises in need of resources.
- The biggest chunk of so-called “aid” funding to Ukraine has never left the Washington, D.C., suburbs where the world’s five largest weapons dealers are found.
- A foreign leader pressuring Congress because the U.S. public has elected a new Congress less likely to provide unlimited free weapons is not democratic.
- Ukraine is a corrupt one-party state that grew out of a U.S.-backed coup in 2014, not a “democracy.”
- This war is increasingly risking nuclear apocalypse for the Earth; no compromise settlement is worse than that.
