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.

Only 70%?

30% of Americans would vote for Bernie Sanders. There is a hard floor of stupidity below which no amout of logic or reason can penetrate. FR is actually quite infested with putin fanboi idiots.

You are daft if you think that communists support Christianity. The authoritarian government demands compliance

Russians are overwhelmingly positive toward Belarus (87%) and China (83%), compared to very few with favorable views of the United States (17%), the European Union (21%), and Ukraine (30%).

Abortion in the Soviet block was how they handled birth control

Russia does not encourage abortion. It would rather there be families. The legacy of abortion in former communist countries is rooted in, well, communism. This is an ongoing process. Russians lived under communism for almost 100 years, and suffered 27 million killed by Nazis. Sadly, some felt they didn't want to bring new life into this evil world. It is an attitude which must be broken.

Hearts of people are changing however. Keep Russia and her people in your prayers.

Putin is our enemy. Russia does not have to be our enemy.

When I was a kid, I remember Nikita Kruschev pounding on a table with his shoe promising he’d bury us. I don’t recall a time when Russia wasn’t our enemy.

“They didn’t realize that before? Oy.”

Mark Twain said, “Wars are God’s way of teaching geography to Americans.”

We live in a society focused on the individual and the individual is focused on things that impinge on him directly. As individuals we don’t have a lot of space in our lives for foreign policy in places we can’t even find on a map.

I wonder how the questions were posed. DO YOU THINK THAT PUTIN IS A MORTAL ENEMY TO UKRAINE...probably 70% would say.. Well YOW. DO YOU THINK THAT PUTIN IS A MORTAL ENEMY TO THE USA? Probably 30% would say Well YOW. Polls, if you can find someone that is not predisposed, and inclining one way or another we might believe them. But most pollsters are hucksters wanting to tell their clients, what the clients want to hear. Go away pollsters, Meet you at the Voting Booth, if it is paper, and there is Photo ID.

72% of Americans have confidence in Zelensky. (Interpretation: 72% of Americans are MSM-entrained idiots.)
