“People in Ukraine today, like those in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere previously, are suffering the consequences of a system in freefall towards generalised global war.
As if the threat of climate change were not enough, the world capitalist system is bringing us famine, massive inflation and greater job insecurity, all for the profits of a few. Only the exploited of the world can halt this descent into the abyss, but we need to begin to organise now before it is too late.
To find out more about how we can fight back both to defend our living standards and our lives come along and join the debate.”
Yesterday I read the Russian newspaper Izvestia. There was an article praising the bravery of specific units, officers and soldiers fighting in Donbass, how they had held the line in face of superior Ukrainian forces until reinforcements arrived. It reveals that Russian forces are in an inferior position in many places. Also of interest: it says the purpose of the fighting is to protect the people of Donbass, without mentioning any other war aims.
