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?
Polls....Persuade public opinion. That’s all they’re good for anymore...
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.
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.
Interesting.
That is about the percentage of far, far left types of people that I observe often having the entire suite of “Resist”, “BLM”, “In This House We Believe” and “I Stand With Ukraine” signs in front of their houses.
I’m glad to hear that many see through the BS about this war.
I understand it’s a poll. But it doesn’t really define minor or major roles. It doesn’t define inclusion of troops. It doesn’t define giving arms from inventory rather than new production. It doesn’t define air support.
So, without definitions…this poll doesn’t tell us much.
Linda Graham, Mark Levin, Joe Biden and the Deep Corrupt State
are part of that 26%.
I am not.
“Heavily involved” assumes US forces and aircraft actively engaged in combat in Ukraine against the Russians. I know of no one who wants to see that.
We are doing what the USSR did in Korea in the 1950s and Vietnam in the 1950s, ‘60s, and 70s: Arm one of the combatants. Back then they armed their player against us; today, we arm our player against them. Proxy war. I am amused at those here on FR who collapse into high dudgeon over it; because it is how the game is played; it is how the game has ALWAYS been played.
It amazes me how little thought people put into this conflict. There are Ukrainian flags all around my neighborhood (very liberal/uninformed).
Do these people realize that Ukraine is vying for most corrupt civilized country with Russia. The meddling in our elections. The attempts to draw the West into World War III.
Wake up, people!
Real headlines: 26% of the country doesn’t know ass from hole in ground.
26% too many
What percentage of Americans wanted our State Department to blow up Putins natural gas export pipeline?
