It turns out that the longer the war in Ukraine drags on, the less support there is in the US for Joe Biden’s policy of escalation. According to a Reuters-Ipsos poll, about 51% support providing weapons to Ukraine. But that number is down from 73% in April. In April, 39% supported the US sending troops to Ukraine. That number is now down to 26%. 40% now say that the problems of Ukraine are none of our business and we should not interfere. That is up from 31% in April. Around 59% now say that given the current economic crisis, the US cannot afford to lend financial support to Ukraine.
Despite all this, Joe Biden just announced a new $3 billion military aid package to Ukraine, continuing his policy of escalating the conflict there, playing nuclear chicken with Russia, and disregarding the declining public support for the policy. Given the fact that our roads are turning into potholes, some of that $3 billion would have come in awfully handy.
