Why we need to reject war and embrace peace - Yorkshire Post Letters

Since 2015 I have been writing letters to newspapers at Christmas time to argue against the deliberate Warmongering against Russia and against the EU's campaign to win Ukraine to EU membership and to choose the alternative of peace instead.

The EU campaign to subvert and win Ukraine over to EU membership started in 1991 spending billions to win over Ukraine, the EU supported the overthrow of the elected anti-EU government in 2014 by a popular uprising and a Pro-EU government came to power, at the time the British Ambassador to the EU Catherine Ashton turned up in Kiev to cheer on the demonstrators.

Ukraine is a massive country the size of France with rich mineral deposits, its addition would be a massive boost to the EU's power.

Once the War is over contracts are all ready to sign for 50 per cent of royalties for Ukraine's rare earth minerals. Ukraine–United States Mineral Resources Agreement, according to Wikipedia. Also France has been negotiating a similar contract.

Everything was going to plan swimmingly until the 2022 Putin invasion of Ukraine, an appalling outcome that has led to horrific destruction and over one million casualties according to Newsweek.

Before the invasion Ukraine was supplied with state of the art weaponry and training by the EU and UK Military. Ukraine bravely thought back the Russian invasion and halted it, to a point.

The successful Ukrainian invasion of the Russian Kursk region shows that militarily Russia is weak and no Bogeyman, the Russians had to depend on the North Korean army to repulse the invasion. The Russian economy is roughly the same size of California's and it is no longer a superpower.

Since 2015 the UK has given about £20bn to win Ukraine to EU membership and lately to pay for weaponry. Since Putin's invasion, £150bn has been spent on Ukraine by the EU according to the EU. Up until the 2022 invasion, the EU had already spent £156bn on Ukraine.

The Elephant in the room is the Russian-Ukraine War. It is causing massive economic and social stresses in Western Europe and the World.

If you spend billions on war then that amount of money is not being spent on our societies, hence the Worldwide recession. The energy crisis is directly linked to the war. On the bright side the arms manufacturers have never had it so good, they are dancing with joy whilst clutching their bloodstained banknotes.

Watching the Russian and EU elites creating hell on earth in Ukraine reminds me of the TV series Game of Thrones, where pawns like us are sacrificed so the kings can win.

Over 22,000 British military personnel were killed in Crimea fighting the Russian army back in the 1850s. We have been here before. Repeating the same mistakes.

Any accidental wayward missile fired over a border could start a Nuclear War at any time.

The UK minted a wonderful 50p piece in 2019, on it was inscribed the words: “Peace, Prosperity and friendship with all Nations”. Good advice for all nations, but ignored by our corrupt elitist rulers.

We need to build a nation that promotes love and kindness, leading by example, that ends the arms trade and rejects Nuclear Weapons, the peace dividend will mean our billions will be spent on our society, families and friends, turning the UK into a nation the world can be inspired by and to be emulated.

We Peace Mongers say Swords into Plough Shears. Wishing a Peaceful Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.
