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.

The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
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 100,000 last year. I worry that if the Drug Cartels were financing a Biological Lab that would kill Millions, this Administration wouldn’t go into Mexico and put a stop to the Lab and Mexico’s failing Government.
So far, the Ukraine War has resulted in less than 1,000 reported deaths. The US has reacted like Russia is dropping Atomic Bombs and killing Tens of Thousands of people a day. I am confident the US Government is worried more about Russia exposing what the Bureaucrats were doing in Ukraine than the Government is about the death and destruction.
If this war is protracted, Oil and Gas will be be cut off to Europe. That will send the Western World into Depression. My biggest worry is the constant vilifying of Leaders will so poison the well that if economies collapse there won’t be enough good will among the Politicians will to work the economic problems.
We are in this position because of what is clear now was a stolen election. If President Trump was still in office, I am confident that there would not be a Ukraine War because both Trump and Putin would be working together to fix the failed Ukraine State.
We are vilifying Putin when he is no worse that President Reagan in supporting the Contras. Americans are extremely bad at History. If you don’t read British History of the 18 century, you don’t understand the American Revolution. If you don’t read German History from 1900 to 1940, you won’t understand why there was a WWII. Not understanding European History since WWII could very well lead us to WWIII very soon.
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 you want to find the truth behind any scenario – Follow the Money.
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 we left Afghanistan, we droned a family claiming they were the Bombers who killed the 13 American Soldiers at the Airport. Fortunately, that cover-up didn’t last long.
There is a lot more going on in Ukraine than the America public has been told, and it is clear the Biden Family was in the middle of a lot of the corruption along with a lot of other Politicians of both Parties. What we are seeing in the Media is a full blown Propaganda Campaign by the US Government against US Citizens because the Russian Army has found smoking gun documentation of the US using third parties to funnel money into foreign labs to do Biological Warfare Research and Development. Calling it “Gain of Function Research” does not mean it isn’t Biological Warfare Research and Development. In doing my research, I suspect there are also “Charities”, funded through Corporations, doing the same thing throughout Asia, Africa, and possibly South America. Corporate funded Biological Warfare Research is a far more scarier prospect than State funded research.
Bio-Weapons are harder to trace to a country of origin than Nuclear Weapons and the research is far cheaper. The problem with Bio-Weapons is they are far more unpredictable and so are far more dangerous. The war in Ukraine is terrible, but look at it from the Russians point of view. America was funding this research in China and it was released on the World and used to cover up the stealing of the 2020 Election. With the Covid Hoax dying out before the 2022 Elections, Russia couldn’t take the chance of a Bio-Weapons release in Eastern Europe; Government sanctioned or not!
When you vilify leaders of countries, really bad things can happen. Vilifying Putin is not a good idea. Calling Putin a “thug” simply is not valid. He is not acting alone. He has support from within his Government and we have no idea if the Russian People are against this war. Putin has talked about the Ukraine problem for years and had over 65% support of his people before the war started. If something happened to Putin his successor might not be a nice guy. Putin is not Stalin. We could call every US President since FDR a thug for things done during their Presidency.
American Politicians and Bureaucrats can’t let the truth be known about what was going on in Ukraine at any cost, and I’m convinced they are crazy enough to start WWIII to cover up what they have been doing. We need to be pointing out specific and factual misdeeds of leaders and not just calling them names. I call Traitor Joe that because he has specifically done things that are traitorous and bragged about it in the Media; like the threat of withholding a Billion Dollars to Ukraine to stop the corruption investigation of Hunter Biden. Over the last two years, Americans in Blue Cities and States have had to tolerate Tyrannical Governors and Mayors with Lock Downs, Mask Mandates, and lost of jobs if you don’t take an Experimental Medication. So who is really is dealing with “Thugs”?
Unlike America, Russia still has lots of Intel Agents on the ground, and Embedded Spies do produce the best Intelligence. It’s unfortunate that Putin went into Ukraine, but Putin is a Russia First President and was in all likelihood compelled to because of the potential Biological Threat from another country. I wish our President, Leaders, and fellow Americans were capable of putting America First. Unfortunately the Quinnipiac Poll tells us that a lot of Americans don’t like America and a lot of that is due to people just calling Politicians names without facts or specifics.
