Listen "International Peace Coalition #93 Mar 14th – Avoiding War Requires True Statecraft, Not Just Good Intentions"
Episode Synopsis
Helga Zepp LaRouche w. Col. Richard Black, Graham Fuller, Ray McGovern, and Mossi Raz in discussion with peace leaders around the world.
--
The March 11 meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between Ukrainian and American representatives, where a 30-day ceasefire was agreed to, has shifted the world’s attention yet again. But who is actually doing the shifting? Reports now abound that, after Tuesday’s agreement, "the ball is in Russia’s court." Former British Prime Minister and notorious anti-peace fanatic Boris Johnson said March 12: "The Ukrainians have proved that they can make peace. Now it is up to the Kremlin to sign up to the Trump plan—or face the consequences. If Putin refuses, we will know that he is not serious about peace and never was."
This theme was echoed by many of the worst trans-Atlantic war hawks over the course of the past two days, obsessively repeating that Putin is now cornered and must accept the ceasefire proposal dictated to Moscow. Coming on the heels of Ukraine’s enormous drone attack Monday night, which Russia labelled a terrorist attack and vowed to retaliate, as well as Russia’s historic rout in Kursk which has eliminated Ukraine’s only battlefield gains in years, this seems unlikely at best. President Putin’s visit to newly-liberated areas in Kursk on Wednesday, dressed in full military garb, is a clear message in this regard.
As Helga Zepp-LaRouche said in her weekly webcast: "[T]he only way how you can get order into this very quickly evolving situation … is to move to a completely New Paradigm: Namely, the idea that you have to have a new security and development architecture which addresses all of these problems at once, by creating a new system in which everybody has their interests taken care of. And the most for that, obviously, is the Peace of Westphalia of 1648 … where the war parties agreed on principles first, and then proceeded to hammer out the details. And I think such an approach is absolutely what is needed today.”
The global strategic situation requires our intervention, whether that be in Ukraine, Israel or Syria. Join the International Peace Coalition this Friday at 11am ET/4pm CET with Col. Richard Black, Graham Fuller, Ray McGovern, and Mossi Raz for the discussion with peace leaders around the world.
