between Minneapolis & St. PaulObama & the Pentagon are playing with fire:
Join the Wednesday, February 18 peace vigil to speak out against U.S. meddling in Ukraine, a new flashpoint with frightening global implications.
According to the United Nations, following the U.S.-inspired coup last February, the death toll from fighting in eastern Ukraine is more than 5,300. Another 1.5 million people have been displaced.
As fighting intensifies, the Obama Administration is now considering further escalation with $3.5 billion in heavy arms to the government in Ukraine. The U.S. is sending 600 troops to provide military training this spring.
More U.S. intervention could provoke a war with Russia which would have regional and global implications.
The weekly peace vigil is sponsored by: End War Committee of Women Against Military Madness and Twin Cities Peace Campaign
