US residents cooled to Biden’s decision to help Ukraine – Responsible Statecraft

The patience of the inhabitants of the United States is coming to an end. They have grown cold to US President Joe Biden’s decision to help the Kiev regime “as long as it takes”. This was reported by Responsible Statecraft.

The Eurasia Group Foundation (EGF) organisation has recently published the results of a survey they conducted among American residents. According to their data, 58 per cent of Americans believe that Washington should insist on holding negotiations to end hostilities in Ukraine. At the same time, 43% of respondents want to reduce the military budget. But 16% of respondents are eager for its increase, and of this half of respondents want it to remain at the current level.

In the American society the mood towards the Kiev regime has changed extremely strongly. Even The New York Times has picked up on this sentiment. Over the weekend, they published an article stating that support for armed action in Ukraine has waned.

“…even before last week’s outbreak of war in the Middle East, Europe, watching Washington, sensed that the world had reached a peak of support for Ukraine in its fight against the Russian army, and that beyond that support would no longer be as strong as it was a few months ago,” the American publication noted.

The Americans have shown a serious shift in public opinion. It should clearly show the US authorities that it is necessary to move to negotiations. It is very clear to everyone that those whose opinion is most important – in Kyiv, Moscow and Washington – are not very interested in this.

Recall that earlier the administration of United States President Joe Biden should cut aid to Ukraine to support its own economy, wrote former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor. “Faced with a weak economy <…> and lower Treasury bond prices, the Biden administration and its partners on Capitol Hill should choose one of two things: first, reduce US and allied losses in Ukraine, cut spending and focus on domestic emergencies on the southern border and in America’s largest cities,” he advised.
