diable rouge Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 As Peter Tatchell points out, STW have previous when it comes to covert support for Putin and Russia...When we stood in solidarity with #Syria's democrats against Russian imperialism in 2016, Stop the War did NOT condemn #Russia's terror bombing of civilians in #Aleppo & other Syrian cities. They called us "agents of US imperialism" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/303402-ukraine-situation/page/8/#findComment-1568685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 So what. Tatchell doesn't represent any body apart from Tatchell.I still haven't seen any evidence to suggest STW are pro Russian, quite the opposite. Don't forget we were happy to bomb Syria.diable rouge Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> As Peter Tatchell points out, STW have previous> when it comes to covert support for Putin and> Russia...> > When we stood in solidarity with #Syria's> democrats against Russian imperialism in 2016,> Stop the War did NOT condemn #Russia's terror> bombing of civilians in #Aleppo & other Syrian> cities.

malumbu Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thanks for the separate conversation, I took a look at what the left and right are saying, and some of the (probable) conspiracy theorists. Nothing makes this right, even if there is an ounce of justification.Someone put it to me, what if you got a Marxist anti-American government in Mexico, who started posturing and siding with the 'wrong' countries. How long would it take for the US to step in. It didn't take the West long to step into Kuwait, and then subsequently invade a sovereign state with a dictator that the West had propped up (Iraq). Of course they had oil, rather than the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.Anyway some thoughts rather than gospel.
