Most Americans oppose Congress authorizing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, as the public splits over whether the US has already done enough to assist Ukraine.
Overall, 55% say the US Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine vs. 45% who say Congress should authorize such funding. And 51% say that the US has already done enough to help Ukraine while 48% say it should do more. A poll conducted in the early days of the Russian invasion in late February 2022 found 62% who felt the US should have been doing more.
Partisan divisions have widened since that poll, too, with most Democrats and Republicans now on opposing sides of questions on the US role in Ukraine.
A majority, but not all (68%) of those who say the US should do more to support Ukraine favor additional funding, as do 23% of those who say the US has already done enough.
When asked specifically about types of assistance the US could provide to Ukraine, there is broader support for help with intelligence gathering (63%) and military training (53%) than for providing weapons (43%), alongside very slim backing for US military forces to participate in combat operations (17%).
Republicans broadly say that Congress should not authorize new funding (71%) and that the US has done enough to assist Ukraine (59%). Among Democrats, most say the opposite, 62% favor additional funding and 61% say that the US should do more.

Nice try, kid. You are struggling.
I am in no way middle ground on this topic: I am very much on record as supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russia. That Ukraine may very well lose that struggle — something I’ve been saying since the early days of the war — does not in any way equate to being “middle ground.” But, of course, you are too dim to realize that.
Same applies to you.
“Sure! After the conquest of Europe and all the resources and manpower Russia would gain, guess who is next on the list?”
Put down your bong and quit living on fantasy.
I can smell the smoke you are blowing up peoples butt from here.
I want to help. Sorry I kept forgetting. Please forgive me.

Instead of saying you are too dim, say
“I am not sure you realize that”
Strangely, you think that matters.
Too bad Joe Biden is compromised he has no choice
You think they haven’t tried?
“I am very much on record as supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russia. That Ukraine may very well lose that struggle — something I’ve been saying since the early days of the war — does not in any way equate to being “middle ground.”
I read it from him at least a year ago.
No change.
You pushed aside any thought of peace for the Neocon bloodlust that has now exploded in your face. I told you so and here we are with a shattered Ukraine minus 500,000 young men. Trust me, I won’t let you forget
You need to stop sniffing other people’s butts then.
Don’t blame the U.S. for Putin’s aggression. He wanted to overthrow and liquidate Ukraine’s political leadership, and he failed.
They’ve studied history, and learned that you don’t appease aggressors.
Ukraine and Russia are not the concern of the US taxpayers.
“Don’t blame the U.S. for Putin’s aggression. He wanted to overthrow and liquidate Ukraine’s political leadership, and he failed.”
How are you able to come up with that in response to the article or anything I posted?
“Start blowing up ports, rail lines, power substations, dams, etc. Give the Russians a dose of their own medicine.”
Do that and we better not hear you bitch if Russia returns the favor on US soil.
“They’ve studied history, and learned that you don’t appease aggressors.”
Well, they don’t need us then.
Good thing.
Because the US will pull the plug on this misadventure.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled CNN Poll: Majority of Americans oppose more US aid for Ukraine in war with Russia, desertsolitaire wrote: Could we not mass manufacture explosive drones of all kinds here in the US and send them to the Ukes with help precisely guiding them on target against Russia? I mean massive numbers in a race to the moon type urgent fashion. Everything within reach of those drones inside Russia would be targeted. I would think THAT would change the game a bit.
It's bad enough the US is engaged in a proxy war with Russia that Congress never voted on, but you want to directly involve the US in undeclared war with Russia. Some people are just BEGGING for WWIII to begin!
I saw a post yesterday about how we should bomb Iran.
How many neocons are on this site?
If there is a way for them to personally take the blowback from their toy soldiers and world war game fantasies, I think we could let them.
Unfortunately they want all of us to go down because of their bloodthirsty love of killing. Nutcases who I guess must have missed Biden saying we are out of ammo.
I wonder if some are paid to post here. Because logic seems to have skipped right over their minds.
