Protests at RU Embassy in Germany

This demo in front of Russian embassy today in Berlin is the biggest pro-Ukrainian rally I have seen in Germany. Organized by Young Greens, Young Liberals, Young Conservatives and Young Socialists.







Their counterparts in the US should follow their lead, one would hope

DC would be a good start but I am sure we could all just show up at a Trump property since Putin really owns it.

Do this one for Ukraine

It's not our 1st mass peace protest.

No Nukes-June 12, 1982
"By the afternoon, nearly every blade of grass was covered. Citizens filled second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and Madison avenues. By mid-afternoon, the police estimated that over 750,000 people were in Central Park demanding an end to nuclear weapons. By the end of the day, that number had swelled to 1 million."

"My politics were always then and I still believe, that whenever there was an opportunity to see the connections between issues and to bring people from different struggles together that was a good thing…Nuclear weapons are part of the military arsenal, so for me, it was a no-brainer that we should be connecting these issues.”

2. The entire world is stacking up against Russia. Some more "gently" but still

Erdogan of Turkey says he thinks it’s wrong to invade a sovereign nation. China says Russia needs to find a diplomatic solution, and these were supposed to be 2 of Russia’s biggest supporters!

No one wants this...Putin is a mad man that must be stopped!

5. Time for China to reclaim their territories perhaps! Right Vlad?

"President Xi should have courage and go and reclaim @MFA_China territories in Eastern Russia! These are China’s ancestral lands, and nobody from @Mod_Russia is there to stop you. Russia will soon be bankrupt. Go and take back what is China’s. 🇷🇺are useless as 🇨🇳 ally now!"

17. Maybe that's their plan. Any alliance between the 2 would find Russia being the secondary

Too many names to name. I do believe Biden will eliminate the main source 1st, then take care of the traitors to America.

Putin doesn't have dumbass in the White House to turn a blind eye or worse encourage his behavior.

14. Putin chose Trump of all people. ""What have you got to lose, Vlad"?

Vlad assured his RU mobster Oligarchs he had a 'plan'
He answers to them & I can't imagine how he convinced them he could pull it off by choosing Trump to help take down tthe USA.

When the RU elite start seeing their property siezed & their life blood, GazProm shut off from the world, they'll be looking at Putin as the failure.
