Use H.R. 10218 To Pull U.S. ATACMS Back from Ukraine Now!
Mobilize With This Leaflet!
It is urgent that the American people mobilize to urge Congress to immediately enact H.R. 10218, "To Prohibit the Transfer of Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine (ATACMS) and for other Purposes", introduced by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), and now before the House Committee on Foreign Aairs. This is a matter of the utmost urgency, to turn the country from its current course of baiting Russia into nuclear brinkmanship and possible U.S. pre-emptive nuclear strike.
Even if HR 10218 is not passed, it is important to strongly promote it, to prevent the escalation to nuclear war before, or after, Jan 20, since key circles in the military and foreign policy establishment clearly believe it is possible to wage and win a nuclear warand they will still be there after Jan. 20!
Needless to say, any exchange of nuclear weapons between the US and Russia would lead to the probable extermination of human life on this planet, despite the fact that some circles in the US military and foreign policy establishment, such as Adm. Thomas Buchanan, Director of the Plans and Policy Directorate of the U.S. Strategic Command, are willing to contemplate their possible use.
Buchanan, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Nov. 20, stated a nuclear exchange would be acceptable as long as the U.S. emerged with enough nuclear capability to hold post-war dominance: "I think everybody would agree if we have to have an exchange, then we want to do it in terms that are most acceptable to the United States. So it's terms that are most acceptable to the United States that puts us in a position to continue to lead the world, right?” (See reverse of this leaflet for details).
Are Members of Congress aware of these chilling comments by the Director of Plans and Policy of the U.S. Strategic Command, which are not obviously merely his personal views, but shared by others in the foreign policy and military establishment? That they mean the abandonment of the policy that “nuclear war cannot be won and therefore must not be fought”? But rather, “We must plan for nuclear war if that’s what it takes to maintain U.S. global dominance”?
Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, and Scott Ritter, former U.S. Marine and U.N. weapons inspector, have called for a maximum citizens’ mobilization to repudiate this criminal thinking, worthy of a Nuremberg docket. Call your members of Congress now, at (202) 225-3121! Tell them to back H.R. 10218 now! And tell them to stay on the case beyond this session of Congress, in whatever actions are needed to pull the U.S. out of its present course to nuclear war.
