    Carrying signs that read “Do Not Join a War of Aggression” and “No Military Deployment to Hormuz,” the protesters chanted, “We cannot send our young people into a sea of death,” according to AFP, which reported from the scene and estimated that about 60 people took part in the demonstration.

    It's just a small group, but it's reassuring to hear people calling out the senselessness of politicians deciding to send young people to kill and die for their ambitions.

    I wonder how much would go if the police did not try to supress the protests

    That's a good point, but I didn't mean to suggest anything but mentioning the small number of people. It was more trying to deflect comments like "it's only a few people, don't get excited".

    I don't think they are the only ones who feel that way. There are many reasons why someone wouldn't protest, including feeling helpless and defeated, or afraid. To me it's hopeful that people are speaking out at all because it's a reminder that people do have power. Maybe you and your neighbor feel the same way about something and you can do something about it, but you won't know until you talk to each other.

    Japan and Stolen Korea are just lesser vassals to the Empire, when will they learn?
