28] – The Campaign for Peace, Disarmament & Common Security [joseph@cpdcs.ccsend.com] on Mon., Dec. 2 at 7 PM ET is holding a webinar with Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute -- UKRAINE– NUCLEAR WAR OR DIPLOMACY?  It is sad that the Campaign claims there is a possibility of a Nuclear War with regard to the illegal invasion of Ukraine.  Putin will not use nukes, as that will result in suicide.  Any use of nukes in Europe will boomerang on Russia and Belarus. The real question is what will bring a just peace in Ukraine?  Will Russia pay for war damages and war crimes? Register at https://secure.everyaction.com/pWnQreDr-UiXFrqr8Ml6dA2

 With President Biden’s authorization for Kyiv to attack Russian territory with U.S. made longer range missiles and U.S. assistance, Moscow’s doctrinal threshold for possible nuclear weapons use first announced in September has been crossed. And note Putin did not detonate any nuclear weapons. Is Putin waiting until after Christmas? Learn what are the diplomatic off ramps.

All folks are welcome, whether you are new to the work or a regular at the BAT meetings.  You will receive call-in instructions via email after you RSVP: https://jufj.org/event/bat-1202/?emci=c0088de3-2da8-ef11-88d0-6045bdd62db6&emdi=1c978737-58a8-ef11-88d0-6045bdd62db6&ceid=3403859
