Britain joins the war in Ukraine


by K Hill

While the US has brought about regime change in Ukraine with the Maidan coup in 2014, installing a thinly disguised neo-Nazi government of Banderites and corrupt politicians to loot its resources, sell its land and saddle it with massive debts thanks to dodgy IMF loans, the UK has been heavily involved in the training of their military – now the second largest European army (after Turkey) in NATO. 
The UK involvement has involved everything from bringing Ukrainian commanders for "special training" in the UK, Nazi tattoos on show much to the embarrassment of the British media, to the existence of special advisors, in reality SAS and SBS units, to supervise "on the ground" the attacks on Snake Island and Kerch Bridge. 
This is the real reason our British press has been so obsessed with these two "targets" over the past two years, despite their lack of strategic importance, because they are great PR and distract the British public from the grim reality of millions of dead and wounded Ukrainians over the past years.
This is a war Ukraine can't win, never could win, but a war that the UK along with the US said would be worth it because if the Ukrainians "weakened Russia" they would be rewarded with European Union and NATO membership – despite the fact that they didn't qualify, and never would. Now the EU and NATO are so weak, they may well become members simply because both are on their last legs, completely ruined by this unwinnable war along with the rest of Europe and the UK. 
When offered more than reasonable terms of peace by Russia, the US sent Boris Johnson to persuade Zelensky to continue the war, while the US funded billions of dollars of "loans" Ukraine can never repay to stay in the war, knowing they would be defeated, but determined they should keep on fighting until Biden is re-elected. 
The tragedy is that Ukraine could never win "the war" and the Americans knew that. Russia has more and better weapons than NATO, can produce more and better weapons than NATO can in the future, even if Europe and the UK move to a "war economy". Russia now has a bigger, better trained armed forces than NATO, although it didn't before the Americans provoked this war in 2014. In fact Russia was reducing its armed forces in order to focus more on rebuilding its economy after US sanctions and building up international relationships with other victims of American imperialism. 
Sanctions have now bankrupted the West, and BRICS will make US hegemony irrelevant, but the UK's real humiliation has come with Sunak's admission that the UK won't "directly fight Russia", because it exposes the fact that we already have been secretly fighting Russia for a decade, in an unwinnable war that has exposed our complete inability to do anything but start what we cannot finish.

  IUAFS statement on the suspension of Bill O’Brien from International Ukraine Anti Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS), and relations with the Truth and Neutrality Alliance (TANA) A dozen IUAFS activists have been consulted in drafting this statement, and evidence for everything in the statement is available in the form of message screenshots, meeting records and multiple witnesses.

IUAFS endorses Your Party Grassroots Left slate

 Recently, International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS) voted to give its endorsement to the Grassroots Left slate in Your Party, the new party initiated last July by Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn. IUAFS is a United Front campaign of Communist and Socialist groups and individuals who mobilise against NATO's Ukraine proxy war in explicit solidarity with the people of Donbass and Crimea, and the oppressed Russian-speaking population of Ukraine more generally. We solidarise particuarly with the struggle of that population against the powerful Nazi trends that NATO has bankrolled and armed in Ukraine particuarly since the Maidan coup in 2014 - hence we support Russia's war aims of the liberation of the Russian-speaking population in the South-East from Nazi oppression, and the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine. Your Party members are now voting in its first elections for the Central Executive Committee - the party leadership, and what is actutally happening ...

Stop Trump’s Bid for World Domination!

By Gennady Zyuganov Chairman of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF)   The beginning of the New Year began with President Trump casting aside the mask of peacemaker and showed that his real aim is blackmail and world domination. Indeed, he turns out to be a more aggressive American leader than his predecessor Biden whom Trump fiercely criticised precisely for his foreign policy adventures. After the attack on Venezuela and an unprecedented kidnapping of the country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, Trump, flushed with the seeming ease of his “victory” declared the whole of Latin America to be his property. He forbade the countries of Europe and Asia to do any independent business on that continent. Simultaneously he issued a warning that Mexico, Cuba and Columbia could become the next victims of aggression.  Mr Trump clearly does not intend to stop with Latin America. In Asia he has acted as the chief accomplice of Israel’s attack on Iran. In Africa, he green-lighte...
