Thursday, Dec 12

How would you describe the US government’s current level of military aid provided to Ukraine?

It’s too high (47%) – "It isn't money we are sending, it is arms. That does 2 things. First, it depletes our stockpile when the world is becoming less stable. Second, it gives Russia a reason to launch a nuclear attack. There is a point at which an idle threat becomes seriously considered; especially when advanced weapons are being given to your opponent."

  • "I think this is outrageous. Can you imagine what we could do with that money for Americans? We could subsidize healthcare and housing for our young people starting out. We could build homes and offer programs for our homeless population, or assistance for new mothers. This was is dragging out, and I suspect that the majority of money is going to line politicians' pockets. Our children and grandchildren will be footing this bill for what is essentially an "unwinnable" war."

"I'm all about supporting our foreign allies but we have to start focusing on the battles to be won on American soil. Things like corruption, securing the southern border, national debt and lowering the cost of living. It's irresponsible to be spending so much money abroad when we're not focusing equal time and energy on American issues."

  • "It is unfathomable to me to keep sending them billions of dollars. And where is it going - how is it being used - what about poor and homeless in our cities what about the high cost of healthcare what are we doing about that those issues - how will we ever minimize our debt this way."

"I do agree we should aid our allies from being practically bullied by larger nations, but we shouldn't be doing so, so excessively that problems in our own nation are being neglected. There must be a balance, and that balance is no simple feat"

It’s about the right amount (22%) – "Conserving true democracy against tyranny is a long standing tradition and should continue especially against Russia."

  • "I feel like the US has an obligation to help Ukraine. We need to stop the Russians from trying to take over. And we need to stop this war and help the Ukrainians."

It’s too low (20%) – "We are fighting WW3 right now with not one American life at risk. We have united the Western Alliance and brought Scandinavia into the the fold. We have increased Europe's need for American energy, through which our economy can thrive. We can eliminate one of the three existential threats to democracy & even humanity, Russia (as opposed to China and North Korea). As we see in the Middle East right now, Iran's network of terror is collapsing in front of our eyes, largely because of Ukraine bleeding Russia dry of men and money."

  • "This is Anschluss and Sudetenland all over again, and look what happened then, Europe conceded to Hitler's demands (peace in our time 😡) and WW II followed. If we let Putin get away with annexing Ukraine territory, like they allowed Hitler, he will be even more emboldened and grab for more. We need to provide Ukraine with the ability to hit Russia where it hurts, Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc. and bring the message home to the Russian people that they are not immune to the same death and destruction they have been dealing to Ukraine. Dictators (Putin) only respond to force."

Unsure/other (11%) – "For to long NATO has = America. Our NATO partners have consistently failed to carry their weight and contribute the agreed upon percentage of GDP to be spent on their military. Trump called NATO out during his last presidency but he was attacked for it. Russian has utilized NATO's and Bidens weakness and once again invaded Ukraine. I answered Other/Unsure because while I support providing weapons and resources to Ukraine, our NATO partners need to pull their weight and provide more support to Ukraine and to their own militaries."
