<p><b>The entire 11-member
leadership of the U.S.
Congressional Progressive
Caucus</b><sup>1</sup> has
voted in favor of a House
resolution<sup>2</sup> that
calls for <b>isolation of
Russia</b>, urges the shipment
of <b>military weapons</b> to
the Ukrainian government, and
encourages the United States and
NATO to step up <b>preparations
for military confrontation</b>
with Russia.<sup>3</sup><br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

here to let Congress and the
world know that you disavow
this dangerous resolution.</b></a><br>
<br>
Missing from the Congressional
resolution and from almost all
U.S. media coverage is the
background of <b>NATO expansion
eastward to Russia's border</b>
in violation of the promise the
United States made to Russia in
1989,<sup>4</sup> as well as the
U.S. support for a <b>coup
government</b> in Ukraine and
the attacks of that government's
militias on ethnic Russians.<br>
<br>
The resolution backed by all the
Progressive Caucus leaders (H.
Res. 758) constitutes an act of
hostility while claiming to
oppose the same.<b> <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Olh5FiuyIfxU7DHmOBp2LX6c62MiK%2B6v">To
oppose that reckless
resolution, click here.</a></b><br>
<br>
Journalist Robert Parry explains
the basis of Congress's
statement, which parallels the
dominant view of U.S. media: <i>"<b>The
original lie</b> behind
Official Washington's latest
'group think' was that Russian
President Vladimir Putin
instigated the crisis in
Ukraine as part of some
diabolical scheme to reclaim
the territory of the defunct
Soviet Union, including
Estonia and other Baltic
states. Though not a shred of
U.S. intelligence supported
this scenario, all the 'smart
people' of Washington just
'knew' it to be true."<sup>5</sup></i><br>
<br>
H. Res 758 denounces Russia for
purchasing weapons, arming
dictatorships, and allegedly
invading sovereign nations -- <b>all
actions in which the United
States routinely engages</b>.<br>
<br>
The resolution calls on
President Obama "to provide the
Government of Ukraine with
lethal and non-lethal defense
articles, services, and
training," and demands that NATO
prepare for war in defense of
Ukraine as a NATO member.
Ukraine is <i>not </i>a NATO
member, but NATO is pushing hard
for its inclusion.<br>
<br>
Weirdly, in support for this
reckless belligerence, the
Progressive Caucus leaders lack
<b>the restraint of Henry
Kissinger</b>, who has offered
the following correction: <i>"The
annexation of Crimea was not a
move toward global conquest."<sup>6</sup></i><br>
