In Hamburg, because of the nationwide celebration of the “Day of German Unity,” a larger demonstration of the peace movement took place. More than 700 people took part in today’s rally in Hamburg in front of the Altona train station followed by a march to the fish market in pouring rain.

In Munich, 2,500 people gathered in sunny weather on Marienplatz under the slogan “Mir reicht’s – Macht Frieden” (“I’ve had enough – make peace”). On Odeonsplatz, more than 300 peace activists said, “It’s high time for peace politics! Organize resistance against militarism and war!”

More than 300 people responded to the call of the Rhine-Ruhr Peace Assembly for a protest demonstration against the air force command center in Kalkar/Uedem.

In Berlin, more than 800 people marched from the Foreign Ministry to the Finance Ministry, then to the Social Democratic Party (SPD) headquarters, demanding disarmament — and no further arms deliveries to Ukraine.

In Düsseldorf, more than 300 rally participants called for “winning the peace, not the war.” Other events took place in Saarbrücken, Schorndorf and Heidelberg.

Oh, I see. So you aren’t here to learn, as evidenced by you obviously ignoring the link that I shared. You just want to goof around here because you can’t think of anything better to do with your day.

Thanks for wasting my time. See you.

You don't even know what NATO is. NATO is an alliance, and talking about it "expanding" is by countries choosing to join, largely for fear of Russian imperialism. My best friend is Finnish, and he told me how almost no one in Finland wanted to join NATO before Russia invaded Ukraine, but that popular, working-class opinion turned around so fast after the invasion that it would make your head spin.

So the question is: why do you not believe countries have the right to band up to protect themselves against imperialist aggressors? Is it because you want your favorite imperialist aggressor to oppress even more working class folks across Europe?

It's so blatantly obvious you're here in bad faith to sabotage the working class and sow discord.
