Seven-in-Ten Americans Now See Russia as an Enemy
Pew Research ^ | 06-APR-2022 | RICHARD WIKE, JANELL FETTEROLF, MOIRA FAGAN AND J.J. MONCUS

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a dramatic shift in American public opinion: 70% of Americans now consider Russia an enemy of the United States, up from 41% in January. And on this topic, Democrats and Republicans largely agree, with 72% of Democrats and 69% of Republicans describing Russia as an enemy.

A new Pew Research Center survey, conducted March 21-27, finds that just 7% of U.S. adults have an overall favorable opinion of Russia. Only 6% express confidence in its leader, President Vladimir Putin. In contrast, 72% have confidence in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

because .. COMMUNISM!!! we have spent nearly the last 100 years fighting their toxic ideology!

We haven't been fighting communism. We've been embracing it.

This isn't 1985 anymore. This isn't Reagan's America. The people that Reagan railed against have taken over the country and control every institution in it.

And Russia had nothing to do with this.

Why are you using such old statistics? 1998? 2004? The newest one was 2005, and that was just one- Estonia.

” They are one of the last bastions of anti-wokeness. They support Christianity, children, families, childbirth, low low taxes. We could learn a lot from Russia.”

Who is this “they”. Obviously, if Putin supported Christianity, families, children, he wouldn’t be killing them in Ukraine

Mmm, I wonder why is Russia being mentioned?

Could it be it's to get you to gawk at the news and wring your hands about Russia, instead of the 40 year violent invasion of our own country right here at home?

Who do ya trust more, homegrown traitors, deceivers, globalist and back stabbers in D.C., or Russia?

When it comes to world events, should I believe those who told us that President Trump was a Russian agent? Should I believe those who covered up for the Biden Crime Family? Should I believe those who tell us that 2020 was an honest election? Should I believe those who are telling us that President Trump is an insurrectionist?

Now, these same people are telling me what to think about Russia and the Ukraine. Oh, that's different … < /sarc >

it's NATO getting dragged into this and risking WW3 that is the problem.

It will be of their own (NATO's) choosing if they do so. No one is dragging anyone into war unless NATO can't leave well enough alone. The dirty little secret is that Ukraine is the world's corrupt playground where tons of money is constantly being laundered into the hands of all sorts of despicable, money-grubbing crooks. A world war would only increase the corruption and the killing of innocent Ukrainians, Russians, and maybe the rest of the world, all for what? People are just plain wicked towards humanity, whether its with bullets or poisonous injections. No one gives a damn anymore for God's creation.

Read this real slow.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

“Russia has ALWAYS been our enemy !”

Truly? Interesting re-interpretation of history. They were our allies in both WWI and WWII. It wasn’t until the end of WWII that the Soviet Union and US began fighting their proxy wars in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, Angola, and Nicaragua.

You’re dancing, dodging and ducking. Who is the most dangerous? A known adversary, or the traitors standing behind you?

Wake up.

IMO opinion Russia has been our greatest enemy since WW2. Nearly everything that has gone wrong since then, they took the other side in each and every conflict.

I never made the claim that America supports or protects Christianity

Take a reading comprehension course. What you state is confused
