    The anti-NATO protest was held in Dublin, Ireland.

On Saturday, August 6, members of Ireland's Russian community protested in Dublin against the current path that the 26th County State looks to be following in terms of joining NATO.

The demonstration was held on O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare, facing the General Post Office - the historic site where Ireland proclaimed a republic on Easter Monday 1916. It was supported by Irish Republican groups, Republican Sinn Féin, and the Irish Republican Socialist Party.

The protest highlighted how Irish men and women fought against British imperialism in 1916, and how the US and UK-backed imperialism precipitated Russia's war with Ukraine, with many placards drawing attention to the eight-year-long war waged by the Western-backed Kiev government on the breakaway Donetsk and Lugansk republics.

The rally was well-received by passers-by and played an essential role in the campaign to keep Ireland from joining NATO and becoming an active participant in the coalition's disastrous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.

The people want NATO out

This year, after Ukraine's draft to enter NATO and both Finland and Sweden's entry, several anti-NATO protests were reported in different parts of the Western world. 

The latest protest was in Spain, where protesters held the former Soviet Union's hammer and sickle flags, against a NATO summit that was scheduled in the capital, Madrid. 

Earlier, Demonstrators gathered in the heart of New York and held a rally in support of Russia and the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, in light of the mounting Western aggressions against the three even before the start of the war in Ukraine.

Under the banner of anti-fascism and anti-US imperialism, the demonstrators chanted for Russia and its actions and decision to counter Nazism in Ukraine and stand up to NATO's eastward expansion.
