Banner Calling Vladimir Putin A ‘Peacemaker’ Hangs From Manhattan Bridge



NEW YORK (AP) -- A giant banner with an image of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the word "peacemaker" has been unfurled from a New York City bridge.

The banner was spotted hanging from the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge on Thursday. It shows Putin in a suit with a Russian and Syrian flag as backdrop.

Witnesses told the New York Post they saw two people unfurl the banner at about 1:45 p.m. Police say officers removed it about an hour later.

The Chinese are economically intertwined with the est which limits what they'd do
But Putin doesn't give a shit if his pop starves
He and his oligarch will be ok

Maybe it was an ironic use...
Or like when they called missiles "peacemaker"
