Why would Americans protest for Russia’s government to do something? That’s just imperialist intrigue. You have no control over other nation’s governments and you shouldn’t be rallying with your own against the enemies of your empire. It’s correct of them not to attack Russia.
Nobody is attacking Russia. Defending yourself (and your allies) against an aggressor is always the correct choice. These protestors could be in front of the Russian embassy but strangely enough that's not going to happen. I wonder why?
I agree recognizing Russia defending the Donbass republics from NATO armed Ukrainian neo-nazis should be at the forefront of the American anti-war movement
I mean, I know they're operating in bad faith, but this is logically sound. They're protesting their government for actions they can control. Why would they be protesting in Washington for Russia to end the war?
"Largely" is putting heavy work here, in the UK for example there was the Stop the war coalition. Remember your history. people actualy protested asking the US to move out of Iraq not just for their tax bucks to stop flowing to the war effort.
Not exhaustive list of cities major cities:
Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Syndey.
Clearly Germany, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Australia are not in the seat of the global imperialist center rofl.
I wasn't even argueing in favor of protesting, just the fact there is no "logic" that says you can only protest shit your own government is doing. The war was lead by the US. Only the US had the power to stop the war.
Iraq War was an act of imperialist aggression. The Ukraine conflict is defense against imperialist aggression. It’s fine for those outside an empire to protest an empire attacking others. It’s not OK for those within the empire to rally their own empire to support the war narratives of their own core
Shit like this makes me doomer as hell. A bunch of millionaires leading weirdos protesting the war, not because it’s imperialist infighting, but because it’s woke and gay or some other nonsense.
Weird how they're not protesting for Russia to end the war immediately by withdrawing. Surely there's no other motivations behind this right?

NATO expansion
attempted or successful color revolutions in neighbors of russia: Syria, Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan...
I wonder why every neighbor of Russia is being absorbed into NATO or turned into a battlefield

People around the world rightfully protested against the Iraq war, you can argue both ways.
Largely those protests were to stop their government joining in

you know the stop the war coalition was protesting Blair right. I was there
those people weren't living in the seat of global imperial power, which is arming the fascists on the other side of the conflict
y'all need to read some god damn lenin what the fuck are these liberal takes getting upvotes for here
What the fuck are you people even talking about?
Like read a god damn wiki before briging your witty takes instead? Iraq war protests Feb 2003

Sure. I was only arguing against the logic you can only protest shit your own government is doing. That is clearly no logic at all.
daily reminder this country sucks
