Robert,

Amidst speculation about a potentially imminent nuclear weapon or missile
test by North Korea, tensions on the Korean peninsula are rising to the
highest level in decades

as US and North Korean officials posit threats and counter-threats of
pre-emptive military strikes. Even hawkish former Secretary of Defense,
Leon Panetta has warned: “We have the potential for a nuclear war that
would take millions of lives

So I think we have to exercise some care here.”

*Today*, in an unusual and worrying development, all 100 U.S. Senators have
been summoned to the White House for a closed  briefing on the Korean
situation

Call your two Senators now! Tell them there’s no military solution to the
North Korean Crisis. Demand diplomacy. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Also today, in a stunning display of double standards, the U.S. Air Force
plans to conduct a test launch of an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental
ballistic missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. According
to the launch commander

“These Minuteman launches are essential to verify the status of our
national nuclear force and to demonstrate our national nuclear
capabilities.” In other words, this test is intended to signal a credible
U.S. nuclear threat. While you won’t probably won’t hear about the US
missile test in the national media, you can be sure that North Korea is
taking note.

There is no military solution to the standoff on the Korean peninsula,
which threatens to spiral out of control – potentially catastrophically.
Both China and North Korea have proposed that the United States and South
Korea suspend their large-scale annual military exercises in exchange for a
freeze on North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, but the U.S. and
South Korea have refused even to discuss the offer

It’s time to end US double standards. It’s time to stop making military
threats and ratchet down the tensions on the Korean peninsula. One misstep
could lead to the loss of millions of lives. Demand a diplomatic solution
to the North Korean crisis. No military strikes. Start talking.

*If you get a response from your Senator's office, please tell us about it,
by writing to info.ufpj at gmail.com <info.ufpj at gmail.com>.*
