One Year Later, Americans Still Stand by Ukraine
Gallup News ^ | February 6, 2023 | MOHAMED YOUNIS

Posted on 02/06/2023 3:06:15 PM PST by Timber Rattler

Nearly one year into the war between Russia and Ukraine, Americans’ support for Ukraine holds steady. A stable 65% of U.S. adults prefer that the United States support Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if that results in a prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, 31% continue to say they would rather see the U.S. work to end the war quickly, even if this allows Russia to keep its territory.

These data are from a Gallup web survey conducted Jan. 3-22, while the Russia-Ukraine conflict was at a relative stalemate and negotiations were underway among the U.S., Germany and other Western allies, who were contemplating intensifying their military support for the country to include tanks. Shortly after the poll was conducted, President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. would send 31 tanks to Ukraine.

As the war in Ukraine enters its second year, Americans’ support for the nation, despite a prolonged conflict, has held steady. Although the degree of support varies, majorities of all party groups would like to see the U.S. support Ukraine in regaining its territory, even if that entails a prolonged conflict, rather than end the conflict quickly and cede territory to Russia.

Being that 100% Mockingbird Media coverage, which is all the West gets, is anti-Russian, no surprise. Start explaining how we conducted a coup in Ukraine in 2014 and began ethnic cleansing of Russians and the NAZIFICATION of Ukraine, and the probability of a massive nuclear exchange and people will be bringing rope, tar, pitchforks, and guillotines to DC.

Well, I haven’t been polled. Neither were many others I know who are against any further assistance there.

The USA has gone to no work, tax and spend, and freebees.
Biden has given Russia our TS tech. plus he has almost destroyed America.

What side is Biden on and what side is Trump on?

You are either pro-Biden or pro-Trump, in your position.

Worthless internet poll.

Meanwhile a majority of Republicans are opposed to more aid.

All I can say is, there are far too many Ukraine flags - actual ones, and stickers, and Facebook tags, etc.

It’s virtue signaling without knowledge or thought.

If you support the war, you are pro-Biden’s position.

It’s obvious, on its face.

If Bidog is for them, I am against them. Biden and US democrats are worse than Putin and Russia on EVERY issue. Because Bidog is evil, Ukraine must be evil. I have no love for Russia, but I really hate Bidog and the democrats. I want Ukraine to lose because I want Bidog to lose.

Worthless internet poll.

It's Gallup, dude...one of the most credible and accurate polls out there.

Meanwhile a majority of Republicans are opposed to more aid.

Gallup says otherwise.

“That is at the heart of the American peoples desire to help Ukraine in their fight.”

Speak for yourself.
