The organizers of the march in the Italian city of Verona supported the rally saying that “this war is organized, desired and maintained by Western forces, led by NATO." Banners at the anti-NATO march were saying: "Born to provoke," followed by an equally explicit statement: "F**k Biden."
Thousands of comments have hit the social media where people said that such protests have not only taken place in Verona but in more than one Italian city. Furthermore, others said that anti-NATO protests are now taking place in various cities in Germany, and Bulgaria.
NATO is the reason we've had 80 years of peace in europe. So, you know. If you want more wars between European nations, get rid of NATO.

The protest organizers said that at the start of the war they didn't have a side in the Russian war on Ukraine, but they have searched and analyzed the situation and realized that the official narrative, as for COVID, is totally unreliable.
Social media users have widely shared the video of the anti-NATO protest in Italy's Verona and shared their own perspectives about NATO and the Russian war in Ukraine.
Libya is yet to recover itself from the inhuman bombings and the use of "good terrorists" to make Libya a failed state.

How can a military alliance be good for humanity? Of course, it is EVIL! https://t.co/VpA3qg8da3
Various opinions emerged online as some claimed that the EU countries are already planning to leave NATO while others dispatched such allegations saying that NATO is the reason behind preserving peace in Europe. On the other hand, a small group has accused Italians of being pro-Russia in its war against Ukraine.
"How can a military alliance be good for humanity? Of course, it is EVIL!" a person tweeted justifying that Libya is still trying to heal itself from the inhuman attacks and the use of "good terrorists" in reference to NATO's interference in Middle Eastern country's internal affairs.
