    Yeah, I’m all for pro-Palestine activism; fully support this cause, and I have no moral objections to destroying some property to do it. Human lives are more important than inanimate objects. But I really wish they could have come up with a version of this plan that didn’t involve fucking over Ukraine.

    Unfortunately I suspect a lot of these people may be of the stripe of Leftist that treats anything relating to war - including arming the victims of unprovoked territorial aggression - as morally wrong, meaning they likely saw this as killing two birds with one stone.

      I saw this item pass by on the local news the other day, including an interview with Versluys, and I don’t recall any of them mentioning the exports bound for Ukraine. Looking at the article from a few days back, that doesn’t mention it either. Just saying, there’s a good chance the protesters did not intend to impact Ukraine.
