U.S. television news programs (CNN, MSNBC, and Fox) have been pounding the war drums in the last few weeks and days, since North Korea successfully launched a long- range missile. The long drift to war with North Korea[1] has seemingly become, overnight, a U.S. drive to war with North Korea.
The US Peace Council issued an open letter and a report about the election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States of America. Below you can find the letter, and attached you can find the report.

Dear Friends:

An Urgent Appeal for a Joint Action
By the Peace and Antiwar Movement in the NY Metro Area
The drive by a nuclear-armed NATO to the borders of Russia — a nuclear-armed state — poses at the very least the risk of accidental nuclear war, and at worst the possibility of military confrontation between two nuclear powers.

An Urgent Appeal by the U.S. Peace Council
To All of Our Friends in the Peace Movement
Dear Friends and Comrades in Peace,
Dear Friends and Comrades in Peace,
As you are well aware, our world is at a critically dangerous juncture: the possibility of a military, potentially a nuclear, confrontation between NATO, led by the United States, and
Russia. The militaries of the two nuclear superpowers are once again facing each other, this time in Eastern Europe, especially in Ukraine, and in Syria. And tensions are increasing each passing day.
