Where Are The Anti War Coalition/Socialist Workers Party Demonstrators?

[dave50]

Haven't seen any on the streets of London, have I missed them? If the USA or UK had been involved they would have been all over it. Typical.

[jno]

perhaps they are all on social media and chatrooms giving their opinions anonymously like everyone else?

[ichkeria]

Perhaps they’ve all gone to join their colleagues in Moscow

[Bazile]

They have all joined the underground resistance

It'll be Israel behind it because blah blah blah.

Or maybe the socialists are doing what our conservatives do by blindly supporting their flag of choice, forgetting that those in charge wouldn't spit on them if they were burning unless there was some menial task that needed completing of course.

I think the OP means the Stop
The War Coalition

Thanks for those links...wouldn't be surprised to see more protests over the coming weeks, but to what avail? Sadly for what I've been reading I doubt Putin will take any notice though.

Perhaps many have been 'whipped' into submission, or, the legacy of the first Secretary General of NATO from 1952 to 1957, General Hastings Lionel "Pug" Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay, the first person to say that the purpose of the alliance was "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down" , was achieved.

Perhaps many realise the futility of it. Its not as if the West is in there fighting or has one iota of control over the situation is it?

[sp1814]

Just thought - don’t the Stop the War demos target wars that the UK prosecute, or where we as part of a NATO coalition we are jointly invested?

…rather than wars without UK involvement?

[youngmafbog]

It would make sense SP.

[sp1814]

Put more succinctly by youngmafbog there

[sevenOP]

sp : "Just thought - ..."

"against further interventions in the Middle East, including opposing support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen.. Recognition of the illegality of wars for regime change and the rights of peoples to self-determination and to oppose foreign occupations... An end to military support and arms sales to countries involved in foreign military aggression or domestic repression, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt... "
