Russia was not the aggressor in this war and this war wouldn’t be happening had America not interfered in Ukrainian elections.

Yes, NATO should have disbanded when the Warsaw Pact disbanded, at least. Thanks so much for telling it like it is, Dennis Kucinich.

Everywhere NATO goes ends up a disaster. It's amazing that this criminal enterprise continues to exist in light of its history.

The thing not noted is that NATO is really just the cover for US hegemony which never uses diplomacy-I think that fair to say given the history. Economic sanctions and blowing up the NORD gas lines is not a diplomatic strategy.

What I disagree with is the fact that the US actually began the Ukraine war with its threatening military behavior. Having created the American propaganda that Russia is our boogeyman forever to be used when one is needed, the US has used NATO as cover for a US proxy war which clearly sacrifices Ukraine. I have seen white people do this using Black people in labor struggles knowing they would be the ones to get injured, jailed or killed while the white boys sit safely in the background pulling strings. Ukraine is the same dynamic but a much bigger and more threatening event.

I do agree that it is time to take the toys (NATO) away from the bully, the US.

DENNIS you are SO right. I also would abolish NATO in addition to the Pentagon budget. This would provide for all the homeless and starving and we could have free education and healthcare.

I agree with your points which you put across simply and well so that I may quote you one day.

Do we have to always blame Russia for invading, and then speak in contrary manner? It's the most repeated ' apology' by writers and speakers against NATO's provocation. I used to think that way but frustration with myself has burgeoned this past month. Surely the 15,000 dead in the civil war matter? Wasn't breaking Minsk a cause of death? Didn't Zelensky lie about peace to get elected? Whose most responsible for the cause of death? Who should we put most on trial at ' Nuremberg'? The USA, UK, NATO, Ukraine's leadership or Putin?

Thank you for this insightful perspective, Dennis Kucinich. You are a brilliant peacenik. Always have been.

NATO is just a scam to provide weapons orders to the US MIC, with bonus juicy benefits packages for the welfare queens otherwise known as the US professional military. It ABSOLUTELY needs to be defunded and abolished. But since it has taken over most of the public discourse and owns most legacy media outlets, this will not be a simple task.

This is a whole bunch of malarkey

First of all, the European nations are not trigger happy into going to war with Russia, simply not true.

I switched off when you said: "This is not to absolve Russia of the invasion"

Any article with qualifying statement in it gets my thumbs down and binned.

God bless Russia and grant them good success in Ukraine.

Oh that we had someone like President Putin to lead us in our own western degenerate society.

The UN, WHO, WEF, CFR etc etc are all created by the central banking cartel. I worked for Dennis Kucinich during his presidential campaign in 03/04 I was a FAA Commercial pilot on the day of 9 11, living in Mountain View, California. Investigate 9 11 Dennis. I'll help you. I knew on that day, as a pilot, that the official story was false. Let's not get distracted 🕊️❤️🙏☘️

Glenn Greenwald showed that the govt. is now wanting to buy data about people that would normally require a search warrant, Barry Cooper the narc turned kopwatcher says America is the most unfree nation in the world. WE NEED TO ORGANIZE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS, DEVELOP NEIGHBORHOOD POLITICAL ACTIVITY TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE WARMONGERING LYING ELECTED REP'S IN OFFICE. PUT UP NOTICES TELLING PEOPLE TO UNITE NOW AGAINST THE BANKSTERS/1% WHO ARE PLOTTING AGAINST US. THE DRUG WAR AND THE ENDLESS WARS ARE MAKING US HOMELESS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.

Thank you Dennis for speaking up about this so clearly. NATO is a terrible menace, as you rightly say, and is being used to weaponize many nations into conflicts that could lead to even greater catastrophes than we are witnessing now in Ukraine.

I strongly support the above article as NATO has been regarded as the greatest threat to world peace and security for a very long time.

There is already talk the 2% of GNP is going to become 3or 4% which is no more than a revenue grab for American arms dealers.

NATO's performance in this war is a shambles for too many reasons to list here.

NATO member states are slaves to the empire's wars. All thirty of them are looting their own countries to finance the empire's delusional wars and ambitions. The treason and betrayal are unconscionable .

I have restacked and expressed my deep and abiding support for the leadership for peace Dennis Kucinich brings to our country and our human family around the globe. His life’s cause has been peace. Onward as he leads the campaign of Robert F. Kennedy for the democratic nomination to the presidency of the United States of America. In God we trust.
