Protest is democratic.

What other climate activist groups?
Indeed
It was obviously asking about what comment the politicians have made
Why would you assume that? It was obviously asking about what comment the protesters have made, from the fact that they were asking about whether “they” had commented “on the reason for the protest, or just the act”.
It depends on which “them” is being referred to in OP’s comment. Assuming “them” are the protesters, then the answer provides what the protesters said, or at least what the organisation they represented said.
Uhh…
Did any of them comment on the reason for the protest, or just the act itself?
Pro-tip: if you have questions raised by an article’s headlines, read the article.
“Just Stop Oil said the motivation behind the incident was to demand the next UK government end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030.”
One could argue that Stonehenge is an icon of humanity’s pre-industrial, sustainable origins and as such acts as a reminder of the future that humanity will face after the ecological and civilisational collapse currently underway as a direct result of oil production. And hence Stonehenge is something to do with oil production.

What would you have them deface?
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the incident as a “disgraceful act of vandalism”.
Not as disgraceful as awarding oil drilling licenses to companies your family is invested in.
Leader of the Labour Party Sir Keir Starmer said the damage
There is no damage: ‘Just Stop Oil said the orange powder paint was cornflour and it would “wash away with rain”.’
was “outrageous”
Not as outrageous as forcefully replacing local Labour candidates with your own choices.
and described Just Stop Oil as “pathetic”
Not as pathetic as Labour’s climate policies.
I’m glad you’ve realised that what you wrote was incorrect.
The “guy” is a Russian expert and former CIA on the … Russia desk.
Assuming that’s true then he’s a Russian expert and former CIA [officer?] on the Russia desk who’s written an article full of non sequiturs, supposition and just plain nonsense. He’s a Russian expert and former CIA officer on the Russia desk who’s a deluded fool.
But you probably have no clue what that actually means, do you?!
It means the embarassment from having written this article is even greater?
kinda does
“Kinda” meaning not actually.
as close as anything can be guaranteed
So not guaranteed then.
This is full of non sequiturs, supposition and just plain nonsense. Guy’s a deluded fool.
The west later admitted that they wanted the war though.
The West did not admit that they wanted the war.
You may have missed that the best approach is not to switch but to dual-boot.
