11 arrested in protest at Sen. Bernie Sanders’s office over war in Ukraine
(www.washingtonpost.com)
“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.
Okay, Crystal I'm going to first steal your wallet that has $100 in it. Now, lets begin the negotiations on how much you get back. I think $20 is fair for you to get back. You're happy we're negotiating, right?
Diplomacy!
Do these people know we tried peace talks before? Do they know Russia is just demanding Ukraine give up to end 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.
Sounds good to me.
Gotta love how these supposed peaceniks are only so eager for negotiations whenever momentum increases in Ukraine's favor
Picked a weird senator to protest. Reminds me of when those vegan protestors jumped him. He's probably the only senator that would side with them, yet they protested him. Such weird behavior.
At least one was from Vermont, it'd make sense they wanted to convey a message to one of the two Vermont senators.
Good point. I missed that
I absolutely despise these people. The war ends when Russia leaves Ukraine, and not a moment before. Those are Ukraine's terms, and I see no reason why they should change.
2nd genocide of Ukrainians in 100 years. If you're protesting the war but not the invasion you're full of shit.
Based
This shit is like whining that the British aren't negotiating with Hitler after his invasion of Poland
What a shock that Crystal don't have a complete understanding of the situation.
Good; the more fascists in jail, the better
