Poll Watch: Americans Grow More Skeptical of Ukraine Aid

As the political class in Washington sends tanks to Ukraine and continues to escalate its involvement in the conflict, the American public is moving in the opposite direction.

Pew Research Center:

As we enter Year Two, there is another new poll out which shows the country is now evenly divided on further support for Ukraine even if this isn’t reflected in Congress.

Breitbart:

“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. …”

This is pretty much what I expected to happen.

The GOP now controls the House, Republican voters have soured on the war and Americans are losing interest in the war as usual. Meanwhile, politicians are increasingly out over their skis on the issue. In a few months, it will be time to fund Ukraine again and support for the war will have eroded even further.

  2. This just in from the imperial cess ridden slimy swamp of corruption-It’s important to us so eat your fweedom fwies and sign your kids up for cannon fodder duty so we can enjoy a high standard of grifting.

  3. Breaking-1 hour ago-Brandon to send another $2.2 billion to the Laundromat.
    CPUSA/Grand Old Politburo wings of the Uniparty agree.
    Love that meme of the cigar smoking mogul asking…how is that foreign aid working out for ya Scooter.

      A surge in Russian artillery barrages and a buildup of troops could be the start of a new push by Moscow, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.” Nytimes

      Buht…buht….buht ….. Russia is losing, Ukraine is taking more ground……buht…buht

      (100 billion going into the pockets of Ukranian mobsters and a pile of scrap metal.)

  4. Keep in mind, these are the poll results with the entire media skewed in favor of aid. if we had a fair narrative, very few would favor aid.
    The (((corporate)) media has always pushed the Overton window in one direction or another.

    US has allocated 100 billion to Ukraine, enough to educate 400,000 doctors, that would more than double number of doctors in the US.

  5. Hunter, do you have any thoughts on JD Vance endorsing Trump? I think the senator makes a good case for the Donald. On foreign policies issues like Ukraine, Trump is miles better than any other potential GOP candidate.

    • JD Vance owes his Senate seat to Trump. He is also probably right about Trump on foreign policy. DeSantis would likely be worse.

  6. Joe did not want to send tanks to Ukraine.

    Classified documents turn up in Joes garage.

    Joe sends tanks.

    Joe does not want to send F-16 to Ukraine.

    What piece of kompromat is going to appear in the public square to make Joe change his mind?

    Hunter Biden did what?? With who?? In public?? DAMN

    Jim Jordan is with them, the people urging for war, and is going to be using his position to coerce Joe to send more weapons to Ukraine.

    You’re a great American Jim.

  7. This is also happening big-time in even the most anti-Russian-crazy of all Western nations, Poland:

    34 percent of Poles now believe that Poland should stop supplying arms to Ukraine

    34 percent of Poles believe ‘conspiracy theories’ that the war is a liberal plot by Western elites

    41 percent of Poles now feel that Ukraine refugees are in fact economic migrants

    40 percent of Poles agreed that Poland is undergoing a process of ‘Ukrainisation’ which is destroying Poland’s culture and society

    Polish media, of course, says this is because poor Poles are believing ‘Kremlin propaganda’
    https://rmx.news/poland/poles-are-becoming-increasingly-susceptible-to-russian-propaganda/

    • Either way, Poland should take back western Ukraine, which is a fake and gay country anyway. Russia should take the east of the country and the southern coast, along the Black Sea, including Odessa. Leave Keeeeeev and a handful of outlying oblasts as a rump Ukraine and make Zelenski and his heirs The Grand-Dukes of Keeeeev, or other such nonsense, and call it a day.

  8. The Republicans will scratch at the walls, howl at the moon, go on Fox TV, pound the table then pass a “scaled down aid package” and declare victory. This wonderful “democracy”, with its never ending wars, degenerates, wogs, debt slavery, censorship, oligarchs and race baiting against Whites that we enjoy now is at stake, ya know. “We” (i.e. White tax donkeys) must provide the money and sooner or later, the casualties for their wars while the neocons suffer the burdens of running the wars they start and profit mightily from. Shed a tear for the suffering, wealthy, evil, neo-con bastards, please?

    The Republicans will point to their “victory” of only giving half of the aid demanded in their endless fund raising letters while they are commended by the Lügenpresse for “reaching across the aisle” while at the same time condemned by the Lügenpresse for caving in to dreaded isolationist radicals. We’ve seen this shit before, a thousand times. A leopard can’t change his spots, neither can the Republicans. They love war too.

    • Probably giving them 90-95% of the “aid” and declaring “victory”. Republicans just acting like Republicans.

    • You’ve summed up the Gay Old Pedoburo perfectly. They’ve never been anything but a fake opposition party. This meme from Barnhardt says it all. Of course R.L. Dabney, the great Southern Presbyterian laid it all out as far back as 1871:

      > This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. . . . Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now serves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip. No doubt, after a few years, when women’s suffrage shall have become an accomplished fact, conservatism will tacitly admit it into its creed, and thenceforward plume itself upon its wise firmness in opposing with similar weapons the extreme of baby suffrage; and when that too shall have been won, it will be heard declaring that the integrity of the American Constitution requires at least the refusal of suffrage to asses. There it will assume, with great dignity, its final position.

      It assumed the position, ass up in submission to Satan and his chosenites, long before any here were born. This should be obvious by now to anyone with eyes to see.

      • Exalted Cyclops,

        R,L. Dabney hit a grand slam with that deconstruction.of the party of Lincoln. What a shame that he will go down in history as the South’s last true intellect.

  10. It is beyond naive to talk about what the majority thinks. Hell, back in the day even a majority of blacks opposed forced school busing.

  11. ” . . . BTW, this is why they pushed through so much aid for Ukraine in the lame duck session while Democrats still controlled the House.”

    True, Hunter but no matter how much money is appropriated for Ukraine, it’s never enough. Zelensky and his cronies always want one more big bite of the apple. When they finally get on their Gulfstream jets with suitcases, very heavy ones too, and flee to parts unknown (Our Greatest Ally eventually) only then will it will be all over.

  12. Can’t get 5 Edomite/Red votes in September? They can get 50 easily. Especially since the Speaker supports it and won’t enforce discipline No one in Washington cares what the peasants think.

  13. The big Russian offensive seems to be near. September is a long way off. Ukraine may not exist in September.

    Putin has a lot of Chabad friends. They support his wars, and they supply him with invasion dates, derived from Talmudic numerology.

    He invaded Georgia on 8-8-08, ( 8-8-8)

    He invaded Ukraine on 2-22-22.

    3-23-23 is possible date for the offensive. Whatever the Rabbis tell him.

  14. They are arguing in Washington over the debt ceiling, and if Republicans do what they usually do, they’ll cut things for the little guy, like the SNAP program, or SSI, to fund the Goddamn pentagon.

    • “Republicans do what they usually do, they’ll cut things for the little guy,”

      Yep,
      They always do.
      We are attacked from both sides, Dems from one side, Reps from the other.

  15. Ukraine strikes me as one of those artificial countries made up after WWI to set up WWII and WWII. We know that a large chunk used to be part of Russia. However, the Silesian part used to be Polish and there is another chunk that used to be Hungarian and like the Russian part has the ethnic Hungarians there still speaking the original tongue.

    Moreover, Ukraine is a corrupt, impoverished hell-hole whose young women end up sex-trafficked to Turkey and Israel and whose children often end up in child pornographic snuff films. Naturally, it is the perfect playground for the predatory elites and their oligarch cronies to indulge their appetites as well as any money stolen from the tax paying citizens of their respective countries.

    None of this would have happened if US-Nato had not staged the Maidan uprising under Obama. The country was being run by a neutral administration that did not hate Russians. Kind of like Russia’s Canada. (I don’t count Mexico as a USA-friendly country). Of course, such a neutral administration would be more likely to take care of the people of Ukraine and exact some reforms that wouldn’t make Ukraine such easy pickings.

    But really, what purpose does the United Nations serve in all this? Why couldn’t the persecuted Russian minority take their complaints to the UN and demand that they be annexed by Russia, the country who originally held the territory. And so what if the ethnic Hungarians and ethnic Poles in Silesia wanted to be returned to their richer, original countries?

    I was listening on a talk show and when the Serbo-Bosnian conflict broke out, Germany offered to shoulder all the costs of relocating the warring ethnics – Bosnians to Bosnia and Serbians to Serbia…including building them new housing for their families rather than see populations decimated. But Clinton insisted on bombing Serbia. Disgusting.

    I honestly think that Ukraine would opt to go with Poland and with the Russian speaking provinces as a barrier between NATO and Russia, the matter would have been settled peacefully, without bloodshed. Of course the fact that the only industry the USA has left – the MIC – wouldn’t make a ton of cash might solve that puzzle.

  16. The traitorous and corrupt Republicans will give the Regime any and all the money it asks for regarding continuing the war in Ukraine.

    It’s truly tragic what the US and the West have done to Ukraine. The country is imploding and hordes of deluded White Ukrainians have genocided themselves to serve a Jewish run client state of the The Great Satan. The inanity of White Ukrainians is off the chart but not dissimilar to White Southerners who rushed to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan to serve the easily deconstructed lies of ZOG.

    All the Ukrainians had to do was follow the Minsk Agreement, stop bombing Donbas civilian infrastructure, and keep NATO out but the US Regime ensured that would never happen. The US has done all it can to further this Ukrainian genocide and push us closer to WWIII……

    While the Republicans continue to bow in diligent and fully emasculated service to these bloodthirsty fiends as they do Israel.

    Hoping that Russia wins (which they currently are) is the best bet for human civilization in general.

    R.I.P. to the foolhardy Ukrainians.

    Many said they were Nazis but not so much……..
