A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that 8 in 10 Americans support a military response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. The only problem is that 38% of Americans would flee before they would defend the United States.
The poll asked Americans “what would you do if you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now, stay and fight or leave the country?”
Only 55 percent said that they would stay and fight for this country. That included only 40 percent of Democrats. Overall 38 percent of Americans said that they would flee.
Be thankful for the 55% who would still fight for their freedoms in the land of the free.
It’s not surprising given the anti-American narratives in academia, movies, and education. The Left has done a fine job of stripping us of our belief in America and the Founding principles.
If we go to war with Russia, we should keep this in mind. If this is true, we don’t have a population grateful for America as we once did.
People need to think independently and objectively. Watch what Russian President Putin is doing. He’s violent and has no regard for the freedom and rights of others. We haven’t had to live under a thug like that and most other nations in the world do.
Capitalism, much reviled by the Left, has given the greatest number of people the most benefits and wealth of any system in history. It only becomes a problem when it becomes crony capitalism. Socialism and communism destroy human rights.
Patriotism and love of country is demeaned and that’s a serious problem. When you lose that, you become susceptible to conquerers and the Visigoths are at the gates.
Perhaps the poll is wrong. Quinnipiac is not the greatest.
There was a time when America routinely went into Central American Countries to confront Drug Cartels and overthrow failed Governments. America caused a lot of destruction in Central America over the last 60 or 70 years. The Contra War alone killed over 30,000 people. Today we have an open Southern Border. It’s been reported that Deaths from Fentanyl alone exceeded… Read more »
Thoughtfully written opinion by Gov Geek, (He undoubtedly does his research) and polite thoughtfully written response by Ms Dowling. Thank you both. There is more to the story than is being reported across the board. Those doing the majority of the reporting are doing their best to distort facts and portray a certain agenda that simply is not true. When… Read more »
It’s hypocrisy. People are now ignorant, disloyal, and valueless.
Polls are also poorly done for the sake of publicity instead of accuracy.
Demoralization is only a little over half way there. (H/T-Yuri B)
The burning it all down of the CPUSA and Brandon will complete the rest.
The Social Credit Score terror will be the capstone.
Ms. Dowling, we need to put the war in Ukraine into perspective. The Media is going out of it’s way to show us how brutal the Russians are. By extension they are making Putin into a mad man. War is not pretty. The truth is America has been just as brutal in the Middle-East over the last 30 years. As… Read more »
The unity collective comrades are free to go and fight for the glorious motherland since they hate America so much.
No shirking in the motherland and it could end up like WWII where the NKVD would set up a Maxim machine gun squad for any shirkers trying to retreat.
After 2 years of Covid Psych Ops….and the usual ‘insular’ reporting of the corrupt MSM…the idiots do not have a clue of what it is all about….and none I could safely bet EVER even heard of the Donbass….
