The Chinese are not giving high-tech goods to the Russians. Basic stuff, and the Russians are selling their energy on the cheap to the Chinese. China doesn't want to disrupt trade relations with the U.S.

Congressional Democrats shun Ukraine peace campaign - The Grayzone

Veteran antiwar activists Medea Benjamin and Tighe Berry speak to Max Blumenthal about Code Pink's new campaign for negotiations between the US and Russia over Ukraine and a halt to billions in military aid. Benjamin and Berry discuss the chilly reception their advocacy received from even some progressive Democratic members of Congress and critique "America First" Republicans that claim to oppose the Ukraine proxy war.

Benjamin and Berry also discuss the state of the US antiwar movement and the arbitrary post-1/6 restrictions which prevent the public from entering the US Capitol building to lobby members of Congress.

There's a very simple metric here, Mz Benjamin; if you opposed Bush's invasion of Iraq, then you must opposed Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Anything less is pure mendacity.

She isn't a Russian citizen, so her opposition is symbolic.

The Russian antiwar movement doesn't get much press.
