Fewer than one in six Americans want U.S. soldiers deployed to defend Ukraine if Russia invades the country, according to a new poll published on Friday, as high level talks got underway in Geneva.

A poll from Convention of States Action (COSA) in partnership with the Trafalgar Group found that just 15.3 percent of likely general election voters believed the U.S. should provide troops as "boots on the ground" in the event of an invasion.

The figures came as Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for talks in Geneva with tensions between Russia and Ukraine remaining high.

The COSA/Trafalgar Group poll was conducted from January 12 to 14 among 1,081 likely general election voters and has a margin of error of +/-2.98 percent.

The Trafalgar Group enjoys an A- rating from poll tracker FiveThirtyEight. ...

Deploying troops had the lowest level of support, while 31.1 percent of respondents supported providing supplies and weapons.

A further 30.5 percent agreed that the U.S. should provide "only diplomatic area pressure," while 23.2 percent supported the U.S. providing military advisers if there were an invasion.

The Euros want to get all their “green” fuel from Russia instead of burning coal, so let them deal with it.

‘Fewer than one in six Americans want U.S. soldiers deployed to defend Ukraine if Russia invades the country’

should be more like one in 6 thousand...

Brandon won’t guard the borders of the U.S., wants to do so for Ukraine, slunk away from Afghanistan, but yet apparently wants the U.S. in another quagmire.

Send Biden, Linda, Liz and Mittens.
Leave the tough work undoing Biden’s destruction to the adults.

America needs to stay out of this, we’re broke with Iraq costing at least 4 trillion dollars. Bush/Cheney had us in 2 wars, and Obama/Biden got us in 5 to 6 more. Time for Europe to defend Europe and grow up, and the gung-ho types wherever they are, politicians or not, can parachute in if they’re so gung-ho to fight.

So, we're all useful tools like Cindy Sheehan, now? Until we aren't? ;)

Besides Biden, Amy Klobuchar is the go-to person on the Dem side for all things warmongering.

Wrong. It’s people like Tucker Carlson who are in that 53.7% that say stay out of this, with losers disagreeing with them.

I’d ask where she is now, but it’s probably easier to just Google “ash heap of history”.

Well the fewer than 1 in 6 may volunteer for the Eastern Front.

I feel very sorry for Cindy Sheehan. Truly. She was a very hurt mother who became unraveled and then used by the left. I don't agree with her spoken politics, but I also believe there is much more to this woman, and much more hurt, than most of us know. She was used and discarded by the un-empathic and selfish left.

Thank God for Trump ..opened the eyes of the people to their war scam. By 2008, I was really questioning clowns like Bush, didn’t vote for Mccain. Trump opened up those eyes for good.

For the people who want NATO stopping a move by Russia in their own backyard. What is exactly the process by which NATO would do this? B-52s over Russian staging areas? F-35s taking out Russian command and control? A-10s tearing up Russian armor? Or do we just go straight to what everyone has always known was the only way to stop Russian armored corps in Europe, theater nukes? Absolute madness to even be discussing getting involved.
