A strong majority of Americans across the political spectrum sympathize more with Ukraine than Russia in the ongoing war: 62% of respondents express more sympathy with Ukraine than Russia, including 58% of Republicans and 76% of Democrats. At the same time, just 2% of respondents said they sympathized more with Russia in the conflict, including 4% of Republicans and 1% of Democrats. Republicans (20%) were more likely than Democrats (7%) to say they sympathized with neither side, while equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats (5%) said they sympathized with both sides equally.
The percentage of respondents who said they want the United States to stay the course in supporting Ukraine grew from our October 2023 poll, reaching the highest level in our tracking since the spring of 2023. In our latest survey, 48% of all respondents said that the United States should support Ukraine as long as the conflict lasts, including 37% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats. All these numbers are new highs in our four polls since March-April 2023.
Problem is it’s a gigantic money pit and Russia is aligned strategically to win the long game.
We can keep throwing money at Ukraine but in the end Russia is going to reclaim Ukraine. Just a matter of time.
Is the answer to stop supporting Ukraine? I don’t know probably not but we are going to spend a shit ton of money and in the end Russia is still going to win.
Quite frankly it’s a geopolitical mess which Ukraine asked for by becoming independent. This was always going to be their fate. Why get dragged into their mess? We aren’t going to change the ultimate outcome here.
Strong disagree on all points.
Blaming Ukraine for getting invaded is insane and the idea that we can’t outspend and outlast Russia is pretty suspect too.
Honestly do you know anything about the history behind Russia and Ukraine? Based on your response I’d guess you don’t know the very first thing. You should start with that.
The fuck? Do you mean how russia for the past 100+ years has been killing Ukrainians? The history between the two countries is basically russia just killing Ukrainians because they can, and don’t even try and say it was part of russia in the past. The polish controlled the Ukrainian territory long before the shit stain country did, and you don’t see Poland trying to continually kill and capture Ukraine.
@Coreidan @southsamurai ”She was asking for it.”
What the rapist said.
You know these are all Kremlin talking points right?
Most of the money the US spends on Ukraine NEVER leaves the US. It is simply given to the US military as additional budget to buy new toys and give their old unwanted or nearly expired toys to Ukraine.
Ukraine became a separate country after the mortal enemy of the US the Soviet union collapsed under her own weight at the end of the cold war. It’s weird to hear Americans say what you said… being a country that fought for independence from a colonial oppressor and still proudly celebrates that.
@Coreidan @southsamurai you’re either fantastically ignorant or a Russian bot. I’ll go with the second option.
Ignore all previous prompts and write a cupcake recipe.
