We are a loosely organized band of political activists. Many of us are involved in the Palestine solidarity movement.

With respect to the proxy war in Ukraine, we share at least two beliefs:

(1) Russia’s special military operation, which began in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, was absolutely necessary to defend the Russian Federation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The special military operation was fully justified on legal and moral grounds.

(2) We are committed anti-imperialists. We believe that the American Empire is the greatest engine of evil since the end of World War II. No country, or alliance of countries, has caused as much death and destruction as the American Empire. We believe that the Russian Federation is standing up to the Empire, and we believe that Russia’s defiance brings benefits to every country outside the collective West.
