My previous posts dated February 17 & 19 refer.
This is the “March Against the War Machine” rally in Washington DC, USA yesterday.
Thousands of protestors had assembled at the Lincoln Memorial. Including a number of prominent speakers from across the political spectrum who addressed the crowd, demanding that the US government end their military support for Ukraine in favor of diplomacy.
One of them, former Green Party presidential candidate Dr Jill Stein argued that the “$100 billion we are spending to support war in Ukraine” could actually help mitigate a whole range of domestic problems plaguing the country.
“This murderous military spending consumes resources desperately needed here at home: by 70,000 people who die each year for lack of health insurance; for a half million homeless people on any given night out in the street; for 33 million marred in student debt; a 100 million in medical debt, 22 million impoverished children and on and on”.
You can bet Joe Biden and his gang of warmongers are not listening!
Oh, and a band of five pro-Ukrainian counter-protesters also showed up at the rally. They held signs saying “Rage against Russian Invasion” and carried Ukrainian flags.
