POLL: Only 26% of Americans want US heavily involved in Ukraine war
Post Millenial ^

Posted on 02/22/2023 1:16:22 PM PST by Tench_Coxe

Nearly one year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, public support for the role the United States is playing in supplying weapons and funds to the eastern European nation has declined among both Democrats and Republicans alike.

And with every questionable election, every incident of East Palestine neglect, each overseas junket to Africa, each demand for more money, and each act of hostility/condescension, that number will continue to dwindle.

The question is when passivity becomes hostility? It might be mistake to interpret quiet as apathy/acquiesence/fear--people might be busy 'sighting in'.

Call me crazy, but I really do think part of this is to make Russia embrace the LBGTQ+ contagion.

26%?

Sad to think there are that many globalist dupes in this country.

America has its own borders to protect — how many Americans care about that?

Silly Americans.

What makes you think your opinion makes any difference?

It has no effect on anything else like illegal imm, drilling for oil, etc, so why war?

Since when does the electorate’s opinion mean anything at all?

The swamp wants what the swamp wants.

20%. So about the same percentage as the Americans who voted for Biden. Got it.

26%?

Reading the FR news feed every day, one would think it was closer to 75% or 80%. 🤔

To me, it’s not a matter of how heavily we should be involved. If we’re going to be involved, we need to do what it takes to win... and that needs to consider how other nations would respond. (I don’t recommend nuking Moscow, for example.)

The question is what our objectives should be. I’m not up for driving Russia back to the 2013 borders. That’d actually be an injustice for Crimeans. I’d probably be OK if they ended up with parts of the Donbas, but I figure we’d have to make sure that gain (or rather, normalization of the previous gains) were at such a high cost that Russia would never become aggressive again. I kinda THINK we’re at that point, actually. Russia’s military is fantastically depleted.

I guess the standard would be whether I could imagine Russia invading Estonia or Poland after this? Georgia makes this a messier standard. I can’t see them invading Poland, now, but could they invade Georgia on the pretext of settling the conflicts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia? (Those are two regions of Georgia currently in the same sort of frozen conflict as Donetsk and Luhansk were in Ukraine.) If they try to, do I care?

None of the stupid polls matter. Politicians and rulers are going to do what they please until they are stopped or die of natural causes. This type of story is useless.

I would prefer no involvement at all. Not for either bunch.

Yeah, no kidding. Which is they the NWO types want him gone. Or did you not get that part?

Don’t get me wrong, I have no affection for Putin or Russia. However, I think Putin is on the right side of that particular issue. I am also old enough that I don’t take the Biden Administration’s stated motives at face value.
