Are you more pro Russia or Ukraine?

[OddBeMe]

I find it difficult to see 45% of Americans "friendly" with Russia... who has invaded a democracy. Wonder how many WW2 vets are trumpers...

Russia

Ukraine

Just as a rule: if you say pro-America here... that means Pro Russia.
Because that's what Putin wants. And isolationist America.

[AyChingao]

Russia is the aggressor in a war of conquest giving rhe look of wanting to re-establish the territorie they one controlled as the Soviet Union, being most of Eastern Europe and many of the "stans" (Kazhakstan etc..) further east. Given the apparent expansionism and the historical nature of Russia it's really a no brainer. If you're for freedom and democracy it Must be Ukraine, so Ukraine.
So using rounded numbers 40% of Republicans favor Russia. Let's be kind and say GOP represents 40% of Americans, 40% of that yields something around 15% are sick assholes... IMHO of course

[OddBeMe]

Yes.

[goaded]

Republicans. 41% of Republicans. "Among Republican respondents, 37% view Russia as “friendly” to the U. S. and 4% view it as an “ally,” the CBS/YouGov poll found, versus 27% who view the country as an “enemy” and 32% who see it as unfriendly."

"52%. That’s the share of Americans who back Ukraine in its fight against Russia, according to CBS and YouGov’s polling, while only 4% back Russia and 44% support neither."

[PeachyPie93]

I'm for Russia.. he warned them that it was a security risk for them to join NATO the guy didn't listen so this happened.. Plus the rise of food prices and other things like gas and petrol is because this shitty war and cutting Russia off. So I want prices to go down so if we have to be friendly with Russia I don't mind.. Plus the guy has massive nuclear bombs so I won't go against him lol.

[OddBeMe]

At least you admit it. But they aren't gonna join nato. They're trying to join. The EU. Common error.

[PeachyPie93]

I see.. I still think he is stupid to go against Putin and causing people to lose their lives..

[OddBeMe]

Sorry that a backwards country with an economy the size of Canada's doesn't get what it wants. But when an aggressor invades the worst thing to do is appease.

If the EU allows Russia to win anything they will soon invade Poland and the baltics because they know we'll just appease again. Classic 1930s Germany.

[PeachyPie93]

That's just what you think.. be friendly and there is no need to get invaded especially when you will lose.

[OddBeMe]

Be friendly to the invading army? Seriously?

What's trumps trade wars about then?

[PeachyPie93]

Trump is a dumbass but he will get whats coming to him..

[OddBeMe]

Hey... we just came to an agreement. I'm hopeful for america now. (Wipes tear)

[PeachyPie93]

I'm Canadian lol

[OddBeMe]

you're in America you know...

[PeachyPie93]

I know... but when people say America they are usually referring to the States not Canada or South America lol

[OddBeMe]

So is Mexico. One happy threesome of border wars and trade wars. Who voted for this orange turd? Lol

[Anonymous]

I support Ukraine but I feel sad for the lives lost on both ends and this war gotta stop. I don’t think most Americans know much about Ukraine or Russia to make a big opinion

[OddBeMe]

Sure, I don't think every Russian soldier is an SS member... though many are.

[bellicose]

It's funny that you believe the media. They likely influence less than 10% of Republicans, yet they report they have the pulse of the entire party and can proudly reports 40% of them see Russia as friendly. The math ain't mathin up. You'd know that if you had an education.

[bellicose]

If you have a failure to communicate with the Republican party to begin with, then you will not have accurate polling figures. Quite simply, the legacy media is in the dark. They don't know what the fuck is going on and they just pull numbers out of their ass and spoon feed them to Democrats.

[OddBeMe]

1) what is the media, to you?
2) why aren't pollsters reliable- at least in the polling they did?

[bellicose]

You're first question is irrelevant because my opinion as one guy is not a representative sample of the entire Republican party even if I was a Republican to begin with. Nor am I Gallup who designed the poll that is reported in the graph, thus I did not design the parameters of the poll or define the terms being used. That said, for shits and giggles in general “mass media” refers to various platforms and technologies that are used to communicate information and entertainment to a large, diverse audience. These include traditional forms such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and film, as well as newer digital mediums like websites, social media, and streaming services. The primary function of mass media is to disseminate news, ideas, opinions, and creative content on a broad scale, often shaping public perception and culture by reaching millions of people simultaneously or over time. Opinion polls intersect closely with mass media because they are often integrated into mass media as a means of generating stories, engaging viewers, or driving discourse in an attempt to inform or influence their audience. In this way, polls become part of the content disseminated through mass media, shaping narratives or reflecting public sentiment. Thus as part of mass media content, opinion polls lose credibility among populations that do not trust mass media.

[bellicose]

As to your second question, if 90% of a demographic population does not trust mass media and the content they exhibit, opinion polls and polling researchers become untrustworthy due to direct association. People are less likely to share personal information with those who they do not share some level of trust. Therefore, you create a sampling bias when attempting to evaluate Republican populations with opinion polls, if you are engaging with only 10% of that demographic group. This sampling bias becomes even more exaggerated being that there is a distinct ideological schism within the Republican demographic which is noticeable by their trust and participation in mass media. One group of Republicans believes a certain set of ideas that are so vastly different than the other group of Republicans that the two groups can not agree on what are trustworthy ideas. In other words, they are two separate demographic groups being that they don’t share the same ideas.

[bellicose]

So by polling a minority subgroup of the Republican party that has vastly different ideas than the main body of the Republican party and claiming they are representative of the whole, not only are you reporting unreliable findings, you are further eroding trust in the mass media.

[OddBeMe]

I love when you guys post several novels as replies. Usually means your defensive. Lol. But I'll try.

Basically what I'm reading: if you and your ilk don't trust the "media" (whatever that is) that means it's not trustworthy. False.

[bellicose]

Thank's for showing off they length of novels you read. That explains a lot about you.

[DrPepper12]

Here's a picture for you MAGAs that struggle with reading & words...

[OddBeMe]

Poland and the Baltics are really sweating this for sure.

[Staximus]

Are we supposed to go to war against Russia for Ukraine and start WW3? You know how many people are going to die? Enough of this bullshit already. Zelensky is an idiot, he's letting his people die over his foolish pride, trying to fight a war that he can't possibly win unless we keep funding it and start fighting the war for him.

[OddBeMe]

No. Just as America lend/leased to Britian without going to war.

But russia has an economy equivalent to south American countries. So ww3 seems like a political hypocrisy.

[JesseP1nk]

Im gonna ask seriously - How much you are willing to give Russia in order not to start WW3? Half of Europe? Entire Europe? Half America? Entire America? im sure you say smt like "They are not gonna threat US" Remember cold war?

My point is they see this as weakness and they take whatever they want just because they threat with nukes.

[Staximus]

@JesseP1nk so we as Americans are supposed to keep sending Ukraine weapons and money until his whole army is dead and all of Ukraine gets destroyed?

[JesseP1nk]

So if you dont send them weapons and Ukrainians dont have nothing to protect themselves- that should Russians want to make peace?

[Alex-Snow]

Ukraine any day. Russia is run by a dictator (similar to Trump) and cannot be trusted

[OddBeMe]

Yes.

[Douglas1180]

Trying to divide people? How very left wing of you. Nobody should be pro-Russia or pro-Ukraine. We should be pro-ending the war. Clearly you don't understand Putin's side of the story if you think he "invaded a democracy."

[OddBeMe]

Clearly you didn't know hitler's side of the ww2.

[Anonymous]

Pro Ukraine 100% , most of the Americans who say they are pro Russian are fucked up Trumpites. I work with one and my neighbor is one of them, what ever Trump motherfucker says the next day they are saying it too. Their opinions change to fit in line with what Trump motherfucker says. Trump motherfucker is like a cult leader for these dumbass robot followers. Very similar to Jim Jones and his dumbass followers.

[Anonymous]

What are you talking about? According to this, only 4% of Americans back Russia:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/only-4-percent-americans-back-230323014.html

[Calru]

I know we have a preexisting agreement to aide Ukraine a promise made is a promise that should be kept we will lose face in front of the whole world if we choose Russia over Ukraine that and it's completely wrong.

[Sevenpointfive]

he's an idiot. zelensky knows that he's screwed. he loses the election and he drafted himself

[zagor]

Well it is evident where one very prominent Republican stands...

[seeyounexttuesday]

I’m pro America. Because, you know, I live in America.

[OddBeMe]

Not that simple dummy

[seeyounexttuesday]

It is that simple. and most Americans understand that. You lunatics are getting pushed further and further out of daily discourse.

[OddBeMe]

No they don't actually. They're as dumb as you are.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Yeah, they do, actually. CBS Poll of Trump's speech puts 3/4 of the country approving of his policies.

[OddBeMe]

*majority amongst those who watched...

Fucking moron. Learn how polling works.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Oh so you queers didn't watch and hoped low ratings would make Trump resign in shame?

[Anonymous]

Definitely pro-Russia. Russians were on our side in WW2, Ukrainians were pro-nazis.

[OddBeMe]

False... simply untrue.

You're talking nonsense, just like all the fans of sleepy Joe and Ukrainian nazis 🤣
Wagner is not a state military in Russia, they are mercenaries, and have nothing to do with the official politics.

[Abdul17w]

Truth be told I don't know this whole controversy but I love Russia the way it carries itself

[OddBeMe]

Carries it self as with its destroyed currency and economy. Lol

[exitseven]

Pro Ukraine but not pro Zelensky.

[OddBeMe]

What did Zelenzky do? Other than your cult leader not liking him anymore.

[exitseven]

Zelensky has gotten rich from this war and does not want to see it end. He knew this going into the White House last week and he purposely tanked the deal. He then went to Europe to see it the European countries would bail him out. They were sympathetic but you cannot fight a war with sympathy. He said the the press over the weekend that the war's end if far away. Thst does not sound like somebody who wants to end the war.
Trump wants to end it today. The minerals deal was the first step in a cease fire. He already talked to Putin and he would be willing to negotiate to end the war.
Putin knows it is an unwinnable war and Trump wants to end the killing.

[OddBeMe]

Russian lies. He and his family live in a bunker because they have prices on their heads.

Not gonna lie, ukriane has corruption problems. Like the US. But the Jewish president doesn't appear to be one.

[Anonymous]

Pro America. Time for peace.

[OddBeMe]

It's not stupidly that simple.

You realize that we have to decide whether russia retains it's stolen Ukrainian land and caputred people... nor not. Should they benefit from this? That will tell them invading Poland and then asking for peace would be the way to go.

[Opinion Owner]

God help Russia if they invade Poland. Forgetting the fact that Poland is part of NATO, Russia would get wiped off the battlefield by Poland alone.
Ukraine is running out of soldiers, their losses are horrendous and they don't have the power to push Russia out of Donbass or crimea and the longer the war goes on the weaker Ukraine gets. No amount of aid or military supplies will change this cold hard fact. Ukraine has lost the war.

[OddBeMe]

Seeing how magats hate nato i don't think trump would be stepping up to help

[Opinion Owner]

They don't hate NATO, they hatd how countries like Germany don't contribute what they should.

[Opinion Owner]

Even Obama was pushing for more NATO membership to step up, now under trump they are starting to

[xcheerleader_jessx]

Neither

[OddBeMe]

So partisan you can't even feel sorry for ukrianians?

[xcheerleader_jessx]

No one feels sorry for Mexicans

[OddBeMe]

I do. But I married one.

[xcheerleader_jessx]

Oh! Where are you from?

[OddBeMe]

Tejas.

[xcheerleader_jessx]

Does her family call you gringo often?

[OddBeMe]

No theyre decent people.

Though being an atheist boy was rough on their deeply catholic latino family. Lol

[xcheerleader_jessx]

Gringo is not necessary a derogatory term. It's kind of like when people say Yankee to refer to Americans as well. However, the context of the sentence and sentiment is what change it to a derogatory term.

[Anonymous]

I am pro peace.

[Anonymous]

Ukraine MINUS Zelensky.

[OddBeMe]

What's Z done that's so horrible? Other than your cult leader doesn't like him.

[Still-alive]

If he is the problem then Trump would happily accept his terms of stepping down if it’ll mean Russia leaves and the Ukraine is allowed to enter into nato.

Somehow I doubt you would accept that tho huh?
