Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the U.S. Congress via video link and implored the Legislative Branch to do more to help him save his country.
While Zelenskyy did not ask for American boots on the ground, he did press for a “no-fly zone” or, in lieu of that, the transfer of Soviet-era fighter planes to his air force and additional anti-aircraft batteries, as well as additional offensive and defensive weapons.
He got a standing ovation from attending American lawmakers, as well as a pledge for an additional aid package worth $200 million, bringing the total U.S. commitment to around $1 billion since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in late February.
But a growing number of Americans want their government to do more, even at the risk of provoking a nuclear exchange with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In fact, according to a Pew Research survey released on the heels of Zelenskyy’s speech, more than one-third of Americans support action by the U.S. military even at the risk of nuclear war.
“New Pew poll on Ukraine war: Thirty-five percent of Americans support the US ‘taking military action even if it risks a nuclear conflict with Russia.’ (62 percent oppose.),” The Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent Byron York wrote on Twitter noting the survey’s results.

“Roughly a third of Americans (32%) say that the United States is providing about the right amount of support to Ukraine as it fights to hold off the Russian invasion,” noted Pew Research in a report on the survey’s findings.
“A larger share – 42% – say the U.S. should be providing more support to Ukraine, while just 7% say it is providing too much support. About one-in-five (19%) say they are not sure,” the report continued.
“However, virtually identical shares in both parties – 51% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents and 50% of Democrats and Democratic leaners – regard the Russian invasion as a ‘major threat’ to U.S. interests,” Pew Research noted further.
While just one-third of respondents favored U.S. military action at the risk of a nuclear exchange, about the same number of Republicans and Democrats (36% of Republicans, 35% of Democrats) held that view.
Also, a large majority favors allowing Ukrainian refugees into the U.S., though Democratic respondents favored that more than did Republicans (80% vs. 57%).
The survey also found that most Americans are paying attention to what’s going on in Ukraine and have been for months. “About seven-in-ten adults (69%) now report having read or heard a lot about the Russian invasion, compared with 23% who said they had read or heard a lot about Russia’s military buildup on its border with Ukraine in a January survey,” Pew Research noted.
“Today, nearly identical shares of Republicans (70%) and Democrats (71%) say they have heard or read a lot about the invasion,” the report added.
Meanwhile, the fallout from the war will have long-term — and devastating — implications for the entire planet, given that Russia and Ukraine account for nearly one-third of the world’s grain supplies. In addition, both are top fertilizer producers, and with Ukraine in flames and Western sanctions in place for Russia-produced goods, it is becoming clear that other countries that produce lots of food, like the United States, will suffer from decreased production at least this year and likely into next year as well.
The dearth of food production is coming at a time when food prices have been steadily rising for months in the age of Joe Biden and the leftist-induced global supply chain crisis following a year’s worth of pandemic lockdowns.
The point is, the conflict in Ukraine will only compound the economic downturn that was already underway. Plan accordingly.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!

Americans have been standing up for the underdog for generations and we can do a lot better now on the Ukraine deal. Give them the damn MiG-29s and tell Putin to pound sand.

Is it possible that our standing up for the underdog has created a situation where we are $30T in debt? The US doesn’t own any MiG-29s. Poland does and they want us to take possession of them, give them to Ukraine, and here’s the fun part…they want us to backfill them with F-16s that we pay for we money we don’t have.

Send the ones who want to back a very corrupt UKRAINE regime…bio labs…money laundering! CIA back at wars nows that pandemic has failed.
Yup; not what Truman intended.
Why does the map show North Korea in blue implying they’re part of NATO? Much less Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Bahrain, the UAE, and any other Middle Eastern country they wish to lump in.
No US troops to Ukraine. I would like to hear the Russian side of the story for invading the Ukraine. It’s not that Ukraine was going to join NATO. It’s not that he wanted to resurrect the USSR. I doubt it was about bio-labs.
I do think the oligarchs will take Putin down. The next problem, is keeping Russia in one piece. China would take eastern Russia for sure. Taiwan isn’t going anywhere.
One reason is from a paragraph in a recent Putin speech, which I gather references the United States’ culture war, and his refusal to let this happen in Russia: “Properly speaking, the attempts to use us in their (U.S.) own interests never ceased until quite recently: they sought to destroy our traditional values and force on us their false values that would erode us, our people from within, the attitudes they have been aggressively imposing on their countries, attitudes that are directly leading to degradation and degeneration, because they are contrary to human nature. This is not going to happen. No one has ever succeeded in doing this, nor will they succeed now.”
Because an astounding number of Americans have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the constant propaganda put out by western governments and media. Because an astounding number of Americans are unaware of Ukraines Nazi history or the fact that this whole situation was set up with the Obama administration run coup back in 2014 that overthrew the duly elected Ukranianian Government. Or the fact that the Ukranians have killed over 14,000 of its own ethnic Russian citizens since 2014. When are Americans going to wake up and do their own research instead 9f trusting the lies of the globalist owned media?
Zelenskyy is probably in the U. S. Embassy in Ukraine. It’s all a prop job to make him appear heroic. It’s better to let this Kleptocracy go just like all the Kleptocracies we’ve run to and attempted to “help.” How come all these brainwashed morons want to send all those other military that they don’t know at all to Ukraine? All these brainwashed people are fools and should not be suffered. They’re fence sitters. They don’t have any real skin in the game. The corporate U. S. government controlled media is running this operation and they are worried that the biolabs have given the big flick to Putin. It was THEIR op and the public had no input in DOD labs overseas. It was Brandon’s and Obama’s DOD that signed off on biolabs in Ukraine. Why are we helping their money making efforts?
The same people/sheep who took the jabs favor Biden’s desire to wag the dog so we forget about Hunter/Joe. The purebloods overwhelmingly OPPOSE it. They can still think with unaltered brains.
Our leadership almost in its entirety is illegitimate, the representatives of antiAmerican globalist socialist totalitarians who inserted them into our democratically elected offices. The same foolish, miseducated subversives who let this happen are equally thoughtless about the concept of nuclear war. You f*c**g bastards want to save the planet and yet you don’t have the common sense to recognize that nuclear war to any degree will be a million times more damaging than the American Petroleum industry could ever be. The global climate crises is not existential, it’s mostly fraud.
An astounding number of Americans aren’t too smart.
Because they are probably Biden imbeciles and do not understand what nuclear war means. Like the Chicoms.
There really is an operating system in the brain of the Vaxxed.
