""Peace" among the capitalists is also the continuation of their wars . The empire of Japan made several peace proposals through their ambassadors to the US using the Vatican as their intermediary and the war continued.Obama received a Peace Nobel Prize and he has been forced to continue the same war initiated by the US capitalists in the middle east, Every president has his or her own boss too

Russia’s defense minister said that the country’s military buildup in the west was part of readiness drills amid threats from NATO. Sergei Shoigu said the maneuvers in western Russia that have worried neighboring Ukraine and brought warnings from NATO would last for another two weeks. Shoigu said the ongoing exercise was a response to what he claimed were continuous efforts by the United States and its NATO allies to beef up their forces near Russia’s borders.
Two U.S. warships would sail to the Black Sea on April 14 and April 15 and stay there until May 4 and May 5. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov denounced the deployment as “openly provocative,”
“They are testing our strength and playing on our nerves,” Ryabkov said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies. “Seeing itself as the Queen of the Seas, the U.S. should realize that the risks of various incidents are very high. We warn the U.S. that it should stay away from Crimea and our Black Sea coast for their own benefit.”
