Europe is undergoing the most dangerous foreign policy crisis since the end of the Cold War. For over a year, the rulers of the United States, NATO, and in their wake, the European Union, have done everything possible to manoeuvre Europe into a new confrontation with Russia.
These irresponsible lunatics are try to lure Russia into the trap of a military conflict with the West.
The men behind this conspiracy against peace in Europe are not only trying to destabilise Russia and promote a ‘regime change’ against President Putin. They also have long-term geopolitical and economic aims:
– To slow the economic rise of Russia by economic sanctions, in order to weaken Russia as a geopolitical competitor of the United States;
– To sabotage the development of solid and long-lasting relations between Europeans and Russia;
– To stop the long-term development of a common Eurasian trade block from the Atlantic to Vladivostok.
The main weapon in the new US Cold War and NATO’s push for confronation with Russia is the creation and exploitation of the crisis in Ukraine.
Such a development would be devastating for all of us. If the worst comes to the worst, it could lead to a widespread European war. The NATO Warmongers could bring death, destruction and suffering to millions. No one in Europ,e including Russia, can support such madness.
Therefore, the Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF) campaigns strongly in the countries of Europe and in the European Parliament
– for a de-escalation of the Ukraine crisis
– for an immediate halt to the bad and politically counterproductive sanctions against Russia, and
– for a resumption of constructive relations with Russia to build trust and co-operation.
Beyond that we recommend a sovereign European Foreign and Security Policy without the interference of non-European powers such as the U.S. In particular, we demand the immediate end of any intelligence control of Europeans by the U.S.
We stand for a common European-Eurasian security architecture that promotes peace, economic prosperity the extension of political, economic and cultural relations between the soveriegn peoples of Europe and Asia. For this we recommend the abolition of NATO or the resignation from it of as many as possible European nations,
NATO no longer even pretends to be a defense alliance, but is now openly an instrument of global intervention for the narrow intererests of the US military-industrial complex, Washington and Wall Street. NATO’s so-called “missile protective shield” in Central and Eastern Europe, whose installation is ccrrectly seen by Russia as an act of aggression, must be removed immediately.
As patriots and Europeans we pledge ourselves to a world of sovereign nations and to a multipolar system of states on the basis of law, freedom and justice. The APF therefore rejects totally the policies of global interference and domination imposed by the USA and its puppet regimes in Europe,.
YES to peace and freedom!
YES to solidarity and sovereignty!
YES to Europe and its peoples!
