Protesters Descend On Washington, Demand NATO's Dissolution, Peace Negotiations with Russia
Anti-war protesters descended onto Washington DC on Sunday to demand that the United States stop sending weapons to Ukraine, disband NATO, and join China and Russia in creating a multi-polar world, among other demands. | The Rage Against the War Machine rally was attended by roughly a thousand people and included former State Department speakers, politicians, journalists, and activists. Former Senators Ron Paul (R-TX) and Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and former Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) headlined the event and called for unity among the anti-war movement.
💬 “I know some people, who wouldn’t show up to this peace rally, this anti-war rally, because of some of the speakers they had lined up on stage,” Jimmy Dore, a comedian and popular podcast host said on stage. “I get what they are saying ‘hey, I want to stop a nuclear war, but not with those people' […] The people who won’t be attending today never had any intention of doing so. If it wasn’t one of the speakers, it would have been the weather. It would have been because they have more important things to do than survive. They will be at home watching CNN not cover this all day.”
The protest was criticized, mostly from the left, for hosting some speakers who hold conservative views on social issues, and for being organized in part by libertarian groups.
■ Former US presidential candidates rally against ‘war machine’ (RT.com) | Former US Congresswoman and presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard, addressed the crowd of several hundred people with a reminder of what caused her to run in 2020, and how there was 💬 “no other candidate willing to talk about… the dangers where this new Cold War and nuclear arms race would eventually lead.” “And so here we are. Two short years later what I warned about then is now a reality. This proxy that we are fighting against Russia right now could turn at any moment into a direct conflict between the United States/NATO and Russia,” she said, warning that “anyone with a little bit of common sense” knows that a Cold War can at any moment turn into a hot war against a nuclear-armed country.”
