Marxists must always remember that US Imperialism is the major threat to world peace. This article shows what Marxists have known all along--that the war in Ukraine is NOT Putin's war, it is Biden's war. US Marxists who fail to stress this elemental class truth not only fail their duties to the working class but to the cause of peace and the rights to people to self determination. Russia does not get a free pass on these issues, but it is the US that is responsible for the major violations and for this horrible war in Ukraine. Those on the Left should be able to separate the sheep from the wolves by their position on this issue.
"The Minsk agreements were valid and moderate and would have led to durable peace, if implemented by Ukraine. The continued shelling of Donbass by Ukraine, as documented by OSCE1, constituted repeated violations by Ukraine of Art. 2(4) of the Charter. It is the ultima irratio to wage war on a hapless civilian population to prevent the exercise of their right of self-determination. All Russian attempts at peaceful negotiation in the context of OSCE and the Normandy Format were ignored. As late as December 2021 Russia put on the table the drafts of two treaties that would have been the basis of a fruitful dialogue pursuant to article 2(3) of the UN Charter. Again the U.S. and NATO rejected these peaceful overtures."
