A new poll from Reuters/Ipsos shows that 74% of Americans, including majorities in both parties, want NATO to impose a no-fly zone in Ukraine. It’s not an outlier: Survey after survey has shown that the American people want a stronger response to Russia’s invasion.
What’s amazing about the no-fly-zone poll in particular is that our political and pundit class has been almost universal in its opposition to the move. Even conservative populists who eschew expert opinion on everything from COVID to curriculums are suddenly in the position of telling voters to shut up and trust the people in charge.
So what explains this massive disconnect?
Some will argue that normal, everyday people simply don’t understand the risk involved with this action from NATO. But this elitist argument strains credulity. Citizens are watching the news, and they hear the dire warnings that patrolling Ukrainian airspace could cause World War III or a nuclear holocaust.
Americans aren’t ignorant of the risks associated with a no-fly zone, and confronting an arrogant and aggressive Russia is not new to them. They’re so eager to go ahead with it for obvious and compelling reasons.
The most basic one: People understand that Vladimir Putin, like his Soviet predecessors, thrives on American weakness. Deep down, we don’t like the idea that Putin’s nuclear arsenal gives him a veto over the exertion of American power.
Stay OUT of the WAR or there will be WW3 !!!!
If this is what you believe then so be it but the real reason was on Tucker Carlson tonight. We had Bio Labs in the Ukraine and Putin is destroying them. Stay tuned this is not the only Country due for a clean up. The New World Order is not happening so get over it this is not World War 3 coming, we actually have peace coming and a lot of truth coming out that is going to rock your World.
War to protect our politicians dirty money deals. No thanks. Send Potato Joe’s kids and grand kids over to fight for their inheritance.
