| Description |
I have immense respect for Peter Tatchell. He has spent almost his entire lifetime campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights and the rights and freedoms of repressed people and communities from Baluchistan to Zimbabwe, often at great risk to himself. He has also tirelessly fought against and exposed the economic damage and inequality caused by austerity in Britain under successive governments. Over ten years ago, he also helped me out of a difficult situation. I would not hesitate to join him in condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine as one of the worst war crimes in the last 50 years, but I'm not sure to what extent he supports sending arms for Ukraine. For instance, some of those strongly supporting peace negotiations, such as Noam Chomsky, who has for years given talks on the geopolitics of the region, have also fully supported sending weapons, as long as this transfer is "carefully calibrated" so as not to escalate the conflict into a potentially catastrophic wider European, world or nuclear war. I've written elsewhere on Flickr as to why I and many others don't believe that sending more advanced assault weapons such as Western tanks and aircraft will turn the course of the war but why nevertheless that such advanced weaponry seriously risks escalation of the conflict and at best prolongs it along with all the potential consequences for the world, in terms of lives lost, delayed action on catastrophic climate change and world hunger. |
