Video: Ken Stone speaks out on assassination of Gen. Soleimani

Ken Stone is a veteran antiwar activist, a former Steering Committee Member of the Canadian Peace Alliance, an executive member of the Syria Solidarity Movement, and treasurer of the Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War. Ken is author of “Defiant Syria”, an e-booklet available at Amazon, iTunes, and Kobo. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Here, Ken speaks on RT International about U.S. President Donald Trump’s assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. “The foreign policy of the US empire is not based on facts or international law but rather two false premises: 1) US exceptionalism i.e., that the US does not have to play by the rules of international law and 2) that it is the only superpower in a unipolar world and can do what it wants, where it wants, when it wants. Since 2015, however, when Russia directly entered the Syrian war, the unipolar world ended. Today, the US is a dying empire wildly flailing about trying to stay ahead of the rivals closing in on its lead, namely Russia and China. It is a dangerous situation indeed and all the more reason for people to hit the streets on Saturday, January 25 in the Global Day of Protest for No War on Iran,” he says.
