“I don’t know who is more stupid blacks who support Democrat crime policies that make them the victims of crime constantly
Or fags who support Islam who want to throw them off the nearest roof!
Or Jewish Democrats who support a party that wants to finish what the Nazi’s started.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Indeed, I agree with you.
It’s INCOMPREHENSIBLE and an immense mystery.

The poll has nothing to do With Kiev Independent. They linked to the original link here :

It’s an Ipsos poll reported by Reuters.

The only reasonable takeaway here is that:
<><> the vast majority of Americans are sick of their tax dollars being looted
<><>and seeing the weapons needed to protect our own country
<><>being wasted on faroff wars
<><>wars that have nothing at all to do w/ the safety and security of Americans
<><> and, frankly, are none of our damn business......


Since 1973, Israel has received more than
$120 billion US tax dollars in MILITARY assistance alone,
including “three special US aid” packages:
<>US billions just for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<>US billions just for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<>US billions just for redeployment of Israeli forces
<>rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost US taxpayers $5 billion.

Besides weaponry, Israel also receives billions in
<><> US economic and US humanitarian foreign aid,
<><>US tax dollars to support Israel’s broad economic development,
<><>US tax dollars to support sociopolitical stability,
<><> and non-military support related to Israel’s pressing security needs.

Military aid and armaments from US taxpayers have blanketed Israel over the years. They have more than enough resources, now, to nail Hamas and Hezbollah. Wealthy Israel has very low debt, and actually had a budget surplus this year.

The US is $33 trillion in debt, a debt which future generations are saddled with.


And let’s not forget, an integral part of the billions of US tax dollars flowing to Israel is conditioned on Israel sharing w/ the US, the crucial intel Israel gathers in the volatile Mideast.

Clearly, that did not happen vis a vis 9/11 when 4000 Americans lost their lives. We should have been warned since 9/11 was plotted in Israel’s backyard.

In total, about $113.1 billion in funding for Ukraine was authorized in 2022, according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of that – about $67.1 billion – was for defense-related spending, the CRFB said. The other $46 billion included $26.9 billion for an economic support fund; $7.9 billion for international disaster assistance; $6.6 billion in assistance for refugees; $1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia; plus another $3.1 billion for other nondefense spending.

The U.S. Agency for International Development has been coordinating with the Treasury Department to distribute authorized economic aid to Ukraine in tranches. In a report published on Feb. 17, USAID said it had so far provided $13 billion in “direct budget support” to the government of Ukraine, or “GoU” for short.

“This funding has helped the Ukraine pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders,” the report says. “It has also helped them to sustain critical healthcare services, meet its pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people, assist 1.3 million internally displaced persons, provide housing assistance to 4.1 million people, and provide social assistance to 240,000 low-income families and 480,000 persons with disabilities.”

That report did not say how much was spent on pensions, but a USAID spokesperson sent us another USAID report to Congress that indicated $4 billion of budget support for Ukraine was spent on pensions as of Nov. 30, 2022.

The bottom line: While the video of Biden talking about providing funding to pay Ukrainian pensioners may have caught some by surprise, the fact is that Biden made those comments BEFORE Congress approved the money months ago on a bipartisan basis.

“because a large portion of Democrats want all the Jews dead.”

Strange bedfellows considering the majority of Jews are also democrats.

It’s a crock of shit.

“The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online and nationwide, gathering responses from 1,006 U.S. adults.”

Respondents self-selected.

News you can’t use. Who cares what a poll, which is possibly skewed, finds? Whatever result is reported, it doesn’t change how ordinary Americans will put food on the table, keep the lights on, protect themselves from crime, or have fun on their day off. Nor will it change how they vote.

You should always take a Reuters “survey” with a grain of salt.

“because a large portion of Democrats want all the Jews dead. Their masks are slipping and they are showing their true KKK kill the jews selves.”

In other words, the DemocRATS are returning to their racist roots.

“What a load of BS.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Unfortunately it’s way worse than “BS” as you say. Way worse!
Because if this poll is real, it would mean that a majority of Americans want to indirectly help the Russia/Iran/Hamas alliance, simply by letting down and completely abandoning our allies.

Israel/Ukraine are being attacked by the Russia/Iran/Hamas alliance.

This shows how much Russia love Iran/Hamas :

Did you expect Israel to give up land and make it’s defensive posture more precarious and not get any compensation to offset that?
