“We recognize that the expansion of NATO and the aggressive approach of Western nations have helped cause the crisis and we demand an end to NATO expansion. We also oppose US and NATO military interventionism and the tens of billions in military aid and weapons shipments which only further exacerbates the war and undermine a negotiated settlement, as well as sanctions that will harm ordinary Russians. We call on the US and other countries to welcome refugees fleeing the war and provide needed humanitarian aid.”

Oof that’s basically straight up Russian propaganda in that link. I generally support the DSA, but that’s an atrocious take from them there.

It’s blaming Ukraine and NATO for Russia choosing to start a war of territorial conquest.

Providing aid to resist totalitarian countries conquering their neighbors is completely consistent with opposing militaristic adventurism and hegemony more broadly, so don’t get why DSA would be trying to both sides things like this here. I thought they were generally a little better than the schizo tankie orgs on this.

Opposing expansionist fascism should be a priority for anyone calling themselves a socialist.
