The protesters, who were with anti-war group Code Pink, were advocating for Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. leadership to negotiate an end to the war.

    cringe. It’s actually good to take action to reduce harm.

      Is it actually reducing harm to fight to the last Ukrainian though? There were multiple attempts at peace that were sabotaged by either nazi paramilitaries or nato-member politicians. Remember when Zelensky traveled to the front to tell them to respect the ceasefire during Minsk 2 and they didn’t? Maybe the people sabotaging peace would be less bold knowing the US isn’t going to keep supplying arms.

        When Russia is trying to commit genocide against Ukraine? Yes.

          Do you have a source for Russia doing genocide or are you just referring to the war?

            It’s been widely reported by numerous nations and organizations. Search for “Russian genocide Ukraine” and you’ll see plenty of credible sources

                I’m wondering if you just posted the link without reading any results and are just doubling down to sound correct.

                One of the first articles is AP news reporting UN backed human rights groups calling it genocide

                https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-human-rights-663b3a4ba24499d93f3f889e98f8b652

                And an article by Time reporting the kidnapping of children being investigated as genocide, and that there is already enough evidence for the allegations

                  None of these articles formally come to the conclusion that there is a definitive genocide. They are meant to bait racist bloodthirsty rubes like you to into acting on your biases.

                  Members of the U.N. Independent Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine also expressed concerns about allegations of genocide by Russian forces, and said they’re looking into them.

                  expressed concerns about allegations

                  looking into them

                  Keep hallucinating wishfully.

                  From statista:

                  The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) verified a total of 9,614 civilian deaths during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as of September, 2023. Furthermore, 17,535 people were reported to have been injured. However, OHCHR specified that the real numbers could be higher.

                  Even if these estimates are extremely conservative they are low for a genocide. Perhaps Russians are just terrible at genocide and should learn from Americans.

                  Did you misread the AP link? The un group provides reports of war crimes, not genocide.

        multiple attempts at peace

        What were the terms of this peace? Do you have sources to back up your claims?

              No, I think it is reasonable for you to go out and research two well known and easily researchable treaties. I am not your secretary.

                I think it is reasonable for me to expect the burden of proof to be on the person making the claims.
