Howie Hawkins parrots the US State Dept talking points about Ukraine. Hawkins is a Russia Gate promoter and supports US regime change projects, such as in Syria and Russia. Trump Derangement syndrome or Obama Derangement Syndrome or both.

Just look at Germany. The Greens are THE party of war ... 100%. I've never liked them in the USA either. Their platform is detached from reality and TOO INTERNATIONALIST in tone. If the USA EVER obtains a serious reform, it is my view that it will have to be within the context of American history and American constitutionalism.

Isn't being "a party of war" the very opposite of being "too internationalist." We need MORE internationalism in today's increasingly parochial world, not less.

Not if you're trying to blow down borders and make it a one-world corporate paradise ...

Be careful what you ask for. I'm not signing on to ANY one-world government that offers less than the US Bill of Rights and I believe we should focus on ensuring it HERE before PRETENDING we can impose it elsewhere.

So much for the Green Party, I haven't checked lately, but I doubt if that's Jill Stein's view of the war. I supported her.

Howie Hawkins doesn't know what the definition of Imperialism is. That's pretty sad. Russia is an anti-Imperialist country.

Re Russell's last comment -- my recollection is that the purpose of Boris Johnson's visit to Kiev while he was PM was to issue a stern warning to Zelensky against any attempt to negotiate with Russia lest all Western aid to be immediately cut off, not to deliver any peace proposal that was later shot down. "Boris Johnson's peace plan," isn't that the ultimate oxymoron? If I am in fact wrong about this, please someone weigh in.

Good catch, misspoke there. Boris Johnson went over to sabotage peace talks.
