If the US were invaded, would you stay and fight or flee. (You won’t like the numbers from our young)

When asked whether they’d flee or fight an invading force, far too many Millennials and Gen-Zers give the wrong answer.
As part of a recent survey of attitudes toward Russia’s execrable invasion of Ukraine, the polling firm Quinnipiac asked Americans whether they would stay and fight if the United States were invaded by Russia. The results make sobering — and often disgraceful — reading. Sixty-eight percent of Republicans said that they would “stay and fight,” with 25 percent indicating that they’d run away. Among independents, those numbers are 57–36. Among Democrats, they’re in negative territory, at 40–52. Among 50- to 64-year-old men and women, the stay/leave numbers are 66/28. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, they are 45/48. Or, to put it another way: A majority of the prime-aged Americans whom the United States would need were such a crisis to arise imagine that they would flee if that crisis ever came.
For shame.

Some of you got all the shots and wore the masks without the slightest resistance. Don’t pretend you would fight it out because you didn’t even defend your own freedom.

Next question….where would they run to?
Next question after that….How soon will you roll over and submit to the will of the invading force?
Next question…..If the invading force promised you free WiFi, lattes, skinny jeans and craft beer, would they even have to invade to get you to roll over?

This country and its majority of degenerates is not worth fighting for. Only defending your family and your property has value.

Stay and fight. I’m too old to run very fast.

***Flee to where? Bible verse Revelation 13:4 “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war with it?”

THAT would make a great polling question! Break it down into age groups.
As for me, I’m staying!

I’m staying, there isn’t any where else to go and I’m lazy.
If we win, we get our country back.
If we lose: “Hiberniores Hibernis ipsis”
Things will work out, one way or another.

If a man won't stay and fight, he needs to leave. Should be written into the Constitution.

Putin has shut down same sex marriage.
He allows children of Christians to be taught their faith in schools.
Locks pedophiles up for life.
Fires for life any teacher-and threatens them with prison-if they try to teach LGBTQABCDE in schools.
Russian citizens can own weapons. Regulated, yes but there are no political agendas that are attempting to take away guns like in the US.
He limits regulations on businesses so they can succeed.
Encourages men and women to get married because "it is good for the moral fabric of our society and good for the future success of Russia."
Russian education is geared towards getting a job in the future, not towards diversity.
Which side would you fight for?

“The question asked my Quinnipiac was, IF YOU WERE IN THE SAME POSITION AS UKRAINIANS ARE NOW, DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD STAY AND FIGHT OR LEAVE THE COUNTRY?
It is an intended open ended question for the participant to fill in the blank. But because it is open ended it really tells us nothing.
Our Founding Fathers were very clear on what they were fighting for and communicated it. Their survey was better.
What are we fighting for?

Poland pretty much has all the same things, but they aren’t going around invading other countries.
