THAT'S the war they choose to protest?
Presumably, antiwar protestors protest every war. Basically, a return to WW2 America's policy of non-intervention.
That's not the best way to sell it, me thinks lol
Turns out being anti-war protesters means they're ANTI WAR.
What do you want them to do? Raise funds to send some missles over?
Peace in Ukraine? Tell that to all the civilians in Bucha and other places that have bullets in their back, got executed against buildings, or were tied up and shot in the back of the head.
The russians even execute their own men with sledgehammers for being POWs. It's like walking in to Sandy Hook mid-massacre and asking "Why can't we all just be friends?" until you catch some 5.56 like an idiot.
Ukraine should invite these people out to the front to see what it's like, and talk to the civilians in recently liberated areas. Have them talk to the survivors and families of Bucha.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Eleven antiwar protesters were arrested Wednesday after they occupied the office of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Capitol Hill to demand the senator support efforts at diplomacy over sending further U.S. aid, such as weapons, to Ukraine.
Capitol Police arrested the 11 people inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building under a D.C. code that prohibits crowding, obstructing or incommoding, a Capitol Police spokesperson said.
The code is often cited when arresting protesters during peaceful planned acts of civil disobedience.
“Yes, Bernie should condemn the Russian invasion, but he should also be calling for a negotiated end to this brutal war,” Crystal Zevon, from Barnet, Vt., said in the news release.
A spokesperson for Sanders said the senator’s chief of staff, foreign policy adviser and Vermont state director met with Vermonters who were concerned about the war.
“The U.S. should support a just peace in Ukraine, based on the principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and international law,” Sanders wrote in the letter.

Supporting Ukraine IS anti-war.
It's a war of aggression and the fastest and ONLY way to stop such a war is to stop the aggressor. Appeasement simply allows the aggressor to continue perpetuating or expanding their war aims.
The waste is trickling arms to them instead of surging it. We need decisive Ukrainian victory to spare the lives of Ukrainians and Russians from Putin's war.
