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.

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?
I’m sure that is part of it.
Polls....Persuade public opinion. That’s all they’re good for anymore...
Ukraine and Poland as well.
Since when does the electorate’s opinion mean anything at all?
The swamp wants what the swamp wants.
Start producing natural gas like crazy and see how quickly Russia calms the hell down.
20%. So about the same percentage as the Americans who voted for Biden. Got it.
You’re crazy. That isn’t going to happen. Not while Putin is alive.
26%?
Reading the FR news feed every day, one would think it was closer to 75% or 80%. 🤔
They should volunteer.....🤔
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?
I would prefer no involvement at all. Not for either bunch.
You’re crazy. That isn’t going to happen. Not while Putin is alive.
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.
Call me crazy,…..
You are apparently not crazy.
Yeah, no kidding. Which is WHY the NWO types want him gone. Or did you not get that part?
