World rages at Putin's war: Hundreds of thousands of protestors take to streets of London, Berlin, Madrid and South Korea in anger at invasion of Ukraine

From London to Berlin to Tokyo to Vilnius, hundreds of thousands of protesters have gathered in cities across the world to demand an end to the war Russia's Vladimir Putin has waged on Ukraine.

Thousands gathered in front of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate on Sunday morning for an anti-war rally amid international rage at the invasion of Ukraine even as Russia's troops pressed towards the capital, Kyiv.

Police said large crowds have filled the area originally planned for the demonstration, around the Brandenburg Gate in central Berlin, and that they were allocating additional space to accommodate the protesters.

Sunday's protest was peaceful, including many families with children. People waved yellow and blue Ukrainian flags to show their support. Some carried placards with slogans such as 'Hands off Ukraine' and 'Putin, go to therapy and leave Ukraine and the world in peace.'

More gathered in Madrid holding flags and banners that accused Putin of being akin to Hitler and of carrying out a genocide while demonstrators in the South Korean capital Seoul staged a protest outside the Russian embassy.

Ukrainians living in northern Iraq held an anti-war rally on the doorstep of the United Nation's office in Erbil and women gathered in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius holding placards that branded the Russian president 'Europe's biggest aggressor'.

At CPAC, they are focusing on the real threat to America — the Democrats — who are decimating our military and energy production

That will do it. Putin will retreat tomorrow.

That’s it, shake your fist at Goldstein. Meanwhile, nobody protests against China for unleashing a plague on the world, because that would be “racist”.

Although, the ‘RATS and their “media” toadies are going to blame this fiasco on President Trump, I’m glad it’s happening while the Brandon Administration with all of its affirmative action losers are responsible for running this third world chicken coop.

Someone yesterday threw rocks through the windows of a Russian restaurant in Washington DC and stole the Russian flag that was in front.

Did they protest when NATO pressed forward with the encirclement of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

Call Biden. He’s the only one who has gone toe to toe with Putin.

We have a military that has become unserious. We’ve kicked out hundreds of leaders and are left with a bunch who think war means spending more time looking at computer screens.

Remind me of how many cities in Poland we had to bomb to force them into NATO?

Yeah, that’ll do it. Demonstrate where it’s safe. Putin is sure to notice.

Yup. Just like transgender athletes in girls sports. Fight between lefties. Fun to watch, which is at least one tiny bright spot in multiple disasters we have to experience on this ride.

NATO is a defensive alliance. The Soviet Union and now Russia are belligerent and expansionist. The fear of the old Soviet Union is the reason NATO exists in the first place.

NATO isn’t planning to invade Russia and take over, notwithstanding the paranoid and delusional beliefs of Russians like Putin.

“We have a military that has become unserious.”

One danger of this war is that it has shown how weak the Russian military is. Their missiles don’t explode, their tanks are rusted out, and their conscripts don’t want to fight.

The danger is that will embolden the left to take our own national defense even less seriously.
