New York. Hundreds of people demonstrated in New York on Saturday against the US government’s war policy. The anti-war alliance “Answer” had called for the protest in central Times Square. The participants carried signs with »Negotiations: yes. Escalation: No, “Abolish NATO!” or “Money for our needs, not for the war machine,” as pictures on social networks showed. Instead of escalating the war and sending more weapons to Ukraine, the US should return to the negotiating table and acknowledge that Russia has legitimate security concerns, the coalition’s chairman, Brian Becker, told Xinhua. “We’re also here today because the US is spending an additional $65 billion to fund the war in Ukraine, while America has a million homeless, while our schools are underfunded and many people are going bankrupt because they can’t pay their medical bills.« (Xinhua/jW)
