New poll signals Americans growing tired of support for Ukraine

[1srelluc]

I guess a lot of people see the Ukraine war as not entertaining any more.
Entertainment 24/7 is the only thing they understand.

More like they are tired of seeing our money pissed away into that black hole of corruption.

No, not at all.
There are so many piss pots of corruption and the people don't care.

15% of health insurance just to pay for an insurance company to tell you "no".
The other leeches in the health industry.

Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan. Imagine all the right getting pissy that the US spend something like $2.26 trillion on keeping Afghanistan barely functioning with US soldiers dying there all the time.

How much did the US spend in Afghanistan?

President Biden confirmed that he has no regrets about withdrawing from Afghanistan after the 20-year war which is estimated to have cost trillions of dollars.

No, they like spending money of things. Israel costs $4 billion a year at the very least.

The only reason people would feel they don't like something is because the media isn't making it entertaining enough.

Based on the one post I've ever seen of yours, yours are fucking boring.

A new poll suggests that many Americans are growing weary as the US government continues its support of Ukraine in its war with Russia and want to see diplomatic efforts to end the war if aid is to continue.

According to a poll conducted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Data for Progress, 57% of likely voters strongly or somewhat support the US pursuing diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible to end the war in Ukraine, even if it requires Ukraine making compromises with Russia. Just 32% of respondents were strongly or somewhat opposed to this.

And nearly half of the respondents (47%) said they only support the continuation of US military aid to Ukraine if the US is involved in ongoing diplomacy to end the war, while 41% said they support the continuation of US military aid to Ukraine whether the US is involved in ongoing diplomacy or not.

The Biden administration and Congress need to do more diplomatically to help end the war, according to 49% of likely voters, while 37% said they have done enough in this regard, the poll showed.

"Americans recognize what many in Washington don't: Russia's war in Ukraine is more likely to end at the negotiating table than on the battlefield. And there is a brewing skepticism of Washington's approach to this war, which has been heavy on tough talk and military aid, but light on diplomatic strategy and engagement," said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Quincy Institute.

"'As long as it takes' isn't a strategy, it's a recipe for years of disastrous and destructive war — conflict that will likely bring us no closer to the goal of securing a prosperous, independent Ukraine. US leaders need to show their work: explain to the American people how you plan to use your considerable diplomatic leverage to bring this war to an end," Parsi added.

The poll found close to half of likely US voters (48%) somewhat or strongly oppose the US providing aid to Ukraine at current levels if long-term global economic hardship, including in the US, occurs. Meanwhile, the poll showed that only four-in-10 Americans somewhat or strongly support the US providing aid to Ukraine at current levels if this occurs.

The poll also found 58% of Americans somewhat somewhat or strongly oppose the US providing aid to Ukraine at current levels if there are higher gas prices and a higher cost of goods in the US, while just 33% somewhat or strongly support continuing aid if this occurs.

A majority of poll respondents (57%) also said that they think the Russia-Ukraine war will end with a negotiated peace settlement between the two countries, while 61% said they believe the war has impacted them financially on some level.

President Joe Biden has warned that US sanctions on Russia could hurt the US economy, but he has maintained that supporting and defending Ukraine is worth the cost. He's framed the war as a battle between democracy and autocracy.

"Every day, Ukrainians pay with their lives, and they fight along — and the atrocities that the Russians are engaging in are just beyond the pale. And the cost of the fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is even more costly," Biden said in May. "That's why we're staying in this."

The US has provided over $15 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia launched its unprovoked war in late February. The Ukrainian armed forces have received numerous weapons packages from the US and other partner nations, packages that have included anti-tank missiles, air-defense systems, and long-range rocket artillery that have allowed Ukrainian troops to not only halt Russian advances but even drive Russian forces back.

While Western support has aided Ukraine's war efforts, recent data indicates there are growing concerns about what further support without diplomacy and a continuation of this brutal conflict could mean not just for Russia and Ukraine, but for other countries as well.

"Policymakers are far too sanguine about the risks posed by an indefinite continuation of this war, even minimizing the dangers posed by Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats," said Marcus Stanley, advocacy director at the Quincy Institute.

"Americans largely agree that efforts to strengthen Ukraine's hand on the battlefield need to be accompanied by efforts to secure lasting peace at the negotiating table. However, as Congress approaches another vote to approve military aid to Ukraine this week, there's no sign Washington is exploring opportunities to seek a settlement that preserves and protects Ukraine's independence."

Odd that the 32% who support writing constant billion dollar checks to Ukraine with no strings attached, that mirrors his roughly 32%'ish base of Tater's supporters who claim everything is perfectly fine under him.

You mean that of those ask which is usually around one thousand people, not all of the adults in the US.

Totally agree, they have selective outrage, and in this case, they are outraged we are sending military supplies to Trump's BFF.

American soldiers didn't die all the time in Afghanistan. In fact, not a single one died during the last 18 months of Trump's presidency. Of course, Biden fucked that up, didn't he?

Way to go, Joe.

Who the hell did you think was going to end up owning all those weapons and equipment we're sending to Ukraine? Will that make Joe Biden Putin's BFF? I guess President Joe could use a new friend, seeing how those ungrateful Taliban still don't like him, even though he gifted billions of dollars worth of our weapons and equipment.

Sure as hell don't look like the Russians will, considering Ukraine is kicking their ass.

You might want to look at some real news for a change, and figure out what is really happening in the world, before coming on here and inserting foot in mouth.

Could you give us some examples of this "real news" you speak of? Such sources could prove invaluable.

Not sufficient. Help us out here. Give us some guidance, and direct us toward these "real news" sources of reliable journalism. Names. It would be productive if we could all get on the same page...

Stop being disingenuous, you can play Trump supporters for fools, but not I, comrade.

Now go eat your Borscht.

What’s the matter? Getting stage fright? Name names. You made the suggestion. Or is it that you can’t give the names of “real news”? It’s really a simple question, borne out of your very own suggestion…

C'est la vie Mc Rib. You had your opportunity to set us all on the right path. But for whatever reason you chocked, and couldn't pull it off...

That's because it's not actually support for Ukraine... What it really is is a way to reclassify money so that the Congress can jump all over it and divvy it up amongst themselves. People are beginning to figure it out.
