Abstract

NATO's formal entry into this war would imply the start of a third world war, in which not only would the Ukrainians not be saved, but millions of people would die: a catastrophe. Whoever looks with disdain or as naive on internationalists who oppose Putin, the EU and NATO, defending solidarity between peoples, whoever thinks that NATO is a solution, is, in fact, whether they like it or not, defending global slaughter. That is why we must demand that our States do not send troops or weapons or enact sanctions – these are acts of war that can only be supported lightly and with total ignorance of the history of Europe.
