Dear comrades ,
I read the statement "Stop the war - start the peace" ( Morning Star 25th February ) with a great deal of interest . Whilst the statement correctly points out that the Russian Federation is not a socialist country , one part of the statement is truly horrendous and at best shows an extreme level of naivety , if not actual tacit support for US imperialism I refer to the following "Where necessary and by agreement, UN peacekeeping forces should be stationed in Ukraine to protect communities from further attack. Western governments in the OSCE should reverse their withdrawal of observers from the country'. A UN peacekeeping force would simply be imperialist intervention under the cover of the UN flag . Everyone knows that the UN is controlled by the US . In the past the US imperialists waged a barbaric war against the Korean people under the flag of the UN and in the early 1960s the US and other imperialist powers intervened in the newly independent state of Congo . UN involvement in the Ukraine would only serve US interests and would be a disaster .
The statement also mentions the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe(OSCE ) , another imperialist sponsored entity which played a very negative role to say the least in Yugoslavia . OSCE came from the Helsinki Accords of the 1970s . Signing the Helsinki Accords was one of the former USSR's biggest mistakes ( there are many others ) . An OSCE presence in the Ukraine would only legitimise imperialist interference .
At the end of the day the dispute between Russia and the Ukraine should be settled without any outside interference . What we should be saying is ; US , NATO , EU and imperialism , out of the Ukraine ! Yes the Ukraine needs independence , it needs independence from the US , from NATO , from the IMF , World Bank and WTO !
Yours fraternally
Dermot Hudson
