The following resolution was adopted by the State Central Committee of the California Peace and Freedom Party on March 23, 2014.
The Peace and Freedom Party opposes the use of sanctions by the United States and the EU against Russia. We support self determination for the people of Crimea and all peoples of the world. Furthermore, we call for the dismantling of NATO and the closing of all U.S. and NATO military bases surrounding Russia. All of the warmongering from Washington D.C. and the corporate media is at a huge cost to the American people whose needs have been neglected far too long.
I can’t speak for the PFP, but I do denounce Russia’s aggressive annexation of Crimea, but also am firmly against sanctions, and other war provocations by the United States.
I honestly do not get the how much large sectors of the US Left can so romanticize Russia. It;s some sort of lingering nostalgia for the USSR. If it were any other country annexing part of another country the P&FP would be all over denouncing the aggression.
