According to an AP/NORC poll, “a majority of both Democrats and Republicans agree that the U.S. should not get more involved than it currently is in the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas.”
“The poll shows that 4 in 10 U.S. adults want America to broadly take a “less active” role in solving global conflicts. Only about one-quarter think the U.S. should take a more active role, and about one-third say its current role is about right.”
Our role as the World’s Policeman is no longer popular.

Trump wins much on this issue, he wants ceasefires.
Biden opposes. He just blocked a ceasefire resolution at the UN. He has blocked negotiations several times.
Morals, ethics and finances all favor ceasefires. Opposing ceasefires, the Biden position, is the prominent position here.
**Our role as the World’s Policeman is no longer popular** Has the US role really been about being the “World’s Policeman?? OR Has it been about globalism, domination, and money for donors, politicians, and the military industrial complex? We have not won a war since WW2. Do we even have an active general who knows how to win a war?… Read more »
War . . what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
Yup, according to anti-Viet Nam war song (smile), all war has tragedy attached to it. But I am certainly pleased the USA founders fought that war. Our civil war was nasty but ended that slavery, Now we have another slavery blossoming. It is my hope it does not become ugly. Ugly is nasty. I have experience with that. May become… Read more »
Can you name any nation which fought a civil war to end slavery. Lincoln never fought the war to end slavery and said so.
You reading Howard Zinn’s anti American book?
Somehow I knew you couldn’t respond in a coherent way. You did respond in a manner reflecting your education, your intelligence, and your pathetic level of understanding. Like most Americans you are just another illiterate in history vomiting the memes you learned in gender studies. No other nation fought a war to end slavery skippy. Even Lincoln denied it at… Read more »
Laughing! You’re funny!
Yup tell that to the inmates of the death camps. Spoken like a gender studies major at Vassar.
Americans never want to get involved in wars where we aren’t attacked. Yet our leaders seek to get us involved. FDR had us in a shooting war with the Germans prior to Pearl Harbor (see the Rueben James). Wilson did all he could to get us into WWI after promising the nation to stay out. Truman invited the Korean war… Read more »
Right on Ann, please read my post as well!
This is a very interesting topic, and one that has many important parts to consider. One concept that should be considered with this, is the concept of the USA Hegemony. For more information I highly recommend watching this video by Brass Facts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVYe-IMgoLs How do I personally feel about it? (I wasn’t included in this pool, and as never asked)… Read more »
Wow spoken like someone who has never served but she quite prepared to send someone else’s children to die for their preconceived fantasties about the world. Why should Americans fight savages in nations bordering on the Red Sea if no one else is willing to do anything about it? If we cannot defend our own borders why send our military… Read more »
That is a harsh accusation, you don’t know my military history and shame on you for saying I want children to die. That is the exact opposite of what I said. I question whether you read what I wrote. First, the US should absolutely do a better job of defending its own borders. And in my opinion, people responsible for… Read more »
What an incoherent response. “in any situation where American citizens are directly affected.” And this doesn’t apply where skippy to your attacks on the US as a world policeman? Americans who choose to place themselves in harms way bear the responsibility for their thoughtlessness and foolishness not the nation. Those who think its a great idea to go sight seeing… Read more »
