A poll published Tuesday showed a near-even split in the United States on providing more aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
The poll, conducted by Hart Research Associates/Public Opinion Strategies Study from January 20-24 and published by NBC News, shows that 49% surveyed said Congress should provide more funding and weapons to Ukraine, while 47% said it should not.
The margin of error was approximately 3%.
Congress has committed more than $113 billion in aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in February 2022.
The poll also showed that more people disapproved of President Joe Biden’s handling of the war between Russia and Ukraine than approved. The poll showed that 50% disapproved of his handling, and 41% approved. Four percent had no opinion and 5% said they were not sure.
The poll was conducted as the Biden administration was deliberating sending Abrams M1A2 tanks to Ukraine, something it had held out on for months over concern the tanks would be escalatory and too difficult for Ukrainian forces to operate and maintain.
Biden announced Wednesday, January 25, that he decided to purchase 31 tanks for Ukraine, which will likely take months, if not more than a year to arrive. He framed the decision as part of helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia and not a “threat” to Russia.
The tanks were part of a $400 million aid package, bringing the total military support the Biden administration has committed to Ukraine to more than $27 billion.
After the announcement on tanks, Democrat and Republican senators praised the decision, with Republicans calling it overdue.

Only Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) immediately criticized the decision, tweeting: “Another Forever War — while China runs rampant, undeterred.”

Now ask if USA should provide ground troops - because that’s what is coming.
Why won’t the chickenhawks allow an audit of the billions we’ve already flushed down Joe and Hunter’s adopted country ?
This Veteran of the Vietnam war shares the Senator’s concern.
An even split is progress. Americans are starting to understand that we should not be impoverishing ourselves to to to and risking war to support combatants who are spreading LGBT, socialism, and green economic devastation throughout the planet.
IT’s MONEY LAUNDERING!!
I can’t believe 47% of Americans are unpatriotic and don’t support democracy!!!

.......Only Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) immediately criticized the decision, tweeting: “Another Forever War — while China runs rampant, undeterred.”......
He’s VERY right!!!!
Note that supporting the war doesn’t require actually doing anything about it. Except perhaps klacking away to the last Ukrainian.
The West can’t let the neo-Soviets take over Ukraine.
The Russian Empire’s expansion with the help of their islamo-soviet co-belligerent friends (North Korea, Belarus, IRAN, Chechnya) would be embolden to go way further if we did.
Americas economy depends on a free Europe. Europe is our number one business partner in many areas. Millions of american jobs directly depends on Europe.
Thats why we can’t let large parts of Europe once again be invaded by the warmongers in the Kremlin.
The West can’t let the neo-Soviets take over Ukraine.

So funding the Ukie Neo Nazi government of Ukraine is okay? Ukraine is a cesspool of corruption, we might as well declare the welfare state of Ukraine is the 51st state.
To protect democracy, that 47% should be banned from voting and investigated by the FBI and imprisoned if possible. In the name of democracy!
Every country in the world has corruption.
So don’t try to deflect from the real issues by misusing another problem that is totally out of context.
Should we accept Russia to attack America because there is some corruption in America as well? Are you mad?
THIS IS THE ISSUE:
Russia has invaded a sovereign nation, an ally of America!
It’s perfectly illegal and grotesque.
To do this, Russia is getting help from extremely Islamic Governments : Iran and Chechnya. And from the most cruel communist nations on the planet : Belarus and North Korea. You talk about nazis in Ukraine so clownish of you. But you say nothing about the commies who have caused one hundred million deaths on the planet in less than 80 years.
There are ZERO nazi parties represented in Ukraine parliament and Government. Stop lying.
And Zelensky is jewish remember?
If you don’t denounce Russia’s illegal invasion, it means you support invaders.
In turn that mean you support America being invaded by invaders coming in at our southern borders.
Why do you hate borders?
Why don’t you respect borders?
Why don’t you denounce countries violating others borders?
Why dont you denounce Wagner? There are many mercenaries in that group saying proudly they are Nazis. They are not even hiding that fact.
Why do you support the Wagner Nazis?
Why do you support the worlds most horrible islamic regimes IRAN and Chechnya helping Russia as we speak?
Also, Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum that is signed with America to protect Ukraines borders and sovereignty. The USA is respecting its Budapest Memorandum signature by helping Ukraine to defend itself against the islamo-soviet aggression.
