Feb 12, 2026“We are sailing to Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people,” the flotilla organizers said on their website. “The Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival. The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.”
“That is why we are launching the Nuestra América Flotilla, setting sail from across the Caribbean Sea in solidarity with the Cuban people,” the organizers continued. “And we are asking for your support, to help us prepare the mission and purchase the food and medicine that we will bring to the Cuban people.”
Oh you’re just upset the anti war organization is against war
“the war in Ukraine, which… the U.S. and NATO then chose to prolong”
this quote literally upgrades them into pro colonialist organization that can’t seem to choose the lesser evil.
noam chumsky levels of stupidity. They have the first russian invasion of ukraine to study from the early 1900s to know it is a war of imperialist aggression against a weaker neighbor to fully remove its sovereignty.
literally them saying “We wanted russia to takeover ukraine”.
Promoting a laissez-faire imperialist-appeaser agenda isn’t anti-war in any meaningful sense. The head of codepink has 47 million dollars of assets: https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images/2022/841/618/2022-841618483-202343209349101304-F.pdf - in local currency she’d be a billionaire twice. If you ask me, the road to international peace would start with a worldwide worker revolution, overthrowing people like her who dictate poor peoples to give up fights against an oil rig trying to conquer us and force us to go conquer somebody else, just so that she looks good in the media. The only difference I see between her and the likes of Trump’s donors is that she currently has less money and targets a different audience in social media. Behavior is the same.
Their entire stance is the usa should focus money from the military to actually helping people, of course they’re going to be against any additional.
Oh cool they have a bit of money so, what the fuck does that have to do with the rest of your rant?
The stance of Code Pink is to let invaders conquer people, so they can label it “peace”. Because dictatorships are “not our enemy” - what Code Pink website says. You conveniently try not to see you’re talking down to an actual person from the invaded country whose defense Code Pink is campaigning to defund. What helps people here (Ukrainians are people in your eyes, right?) are many things, but I’ll name three: bringing manufacturing back to Europe to reduce the dependency on Chinese imports (that fund the invasion), sending us weapons to defend ourselves from Russia (who’ve already committed genocide here before, are trying it again right now, and will gladly continue doing it if they win), and fighting for worker rights internationally (not by defunding our defense in the short term).
Still upset those against war don’t want war to continue or be materially supported by their government. Then go on tangent on Europe must rise again?
At this point I wonder if you think anyone else qualifies as people as you’ve insulted the rest
