Most Americans cheering a no-fly zone don't know what they're talking about, and the warmongering media is manipulating that ignorance.

[Federalist HT: Menhadden Spaviger9342] You may have heard over the weekend that Americans now "broadly support" imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. "A broad bipartisan majority of Americans think the United States should ... work with NATO to set up ’no-fly zones’ to protect Ukraine from Russian air strikes," insisted a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Friday, noting that 74 percent of respondents supported the aggressive move.

The same poll, however, showed that only 39 percent of Americans want to see American troops sent to Ukraine, with fully 61 percent opposed — a statistic that was conveniently left out of the Reuters write-up (the report only mentioned vague "majorities" opposing boots on the ground). That gaping disconnect indicates two things: Most Americans cheering a no-fly zone don’t know what that would entail, and the warmongering media is using that ignorance to the advantage of its agenda.

Pollsters asking Americans if they support a no-fly zone aren’t explaining to them what the consequences of such an action would be. NATO has so far refused to enact a no-fly zone precisely because it would almost certainly lead to war, and Russia has made it clear it would interpret such a move as an act of war.

As my colleague John Daniel Davidson noted last week: "Of course a no-fly zone would mean just that: The U.S. would have to shoot down Russian warplanes, and Russian warplanes would very likely do the same to us. We would be in a shooting war with Russia before the no-fly zone was even established." Florida Republican Rep. Marco Rubio agreed, saying a no-fly zone "would mean World War III."

Reuters even admitted, four paragraphs into its report, that "It was not clear if respondents who supported a no-fly zone were fully aware of the risk of conflict." Of course they weren’t, as evidenced by the 35-point difference between support for a no-fly zone and support for American troop involvement.

The poll also found 57 percent of Americans agreed that "Given the current economic climate, the United States cannot afford to be taking military action in Ukraine." Six in 10 Americans also didn’t want to see the U.S. conduct airstrikes against Russia.

Pollsters didn’t even ask how many respondents would oppose a full-scale war with Russia, a number which would surely be even higher. In fact, look through the toplines of the survey and you won’t even find the word "war."

There’s a real chance that if the United States and the rest of NATO are dragged into a full conflict with Russia over Ukraine, we could see a devastating nuclear war. That’s not a possibility our politicians and media should take lightly, but nevertheless, they continue to recklessly bandy about unserious responses to Russia’s aggression.

While Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., implores his Twitter followers to assassinate Vladimir Putin, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., urges a no-fly zone (while also peddling disproven propaganda), the censors who preach about fighting misinformation at home have happily allowed false stories about Ukraine that fit their pro-war agenda to propagate.

Meanwhile, another recent poll from Rasmussen Reports shows the broad divide between elites who are pushing for war and the actual people who would fight it. Overall, 49 percent of American voters answered "yes" to the question, "If a wider war breaks out in Europe, should the U.S. military be involved?"

But that belief is held by only 37 percent of respondents with an income below $30,000, compared to 66 percent of respondents making more than $200,000.

I seem to recall the upper income percentage of respondents in the 80+% range a week ago, in which case the current 66% is a precipitous drop.

The majority of U.S. military recruits come from middle-class backgrounds, a demographic that supports shedding American blood in Europe far less than the ruling class does.

"If a wider war breaks out in Europe, should the U.S. military be involved?"

All Voters - Yes - 49%

- Yes by Income -
Under $30K: 37%
$30-50K: 48%
$50-100K: 51%
$100-200K: 52%
Over $200K: 66% https://t.co/W4yFT6LZvt

#1 What's the big deal? You just fill out the official No-Fly Zone Form in triplicate and then no one can fly airplanes. How hard is that?

I wonder if the war approval poll results correlate with the odds that the respondent listens to drive-time NPR.

#3 I can almost feel the winds of war. No fly zone, earth shattering 2020 Wisconsin election investigation? Hunter, Clinton, Fauci, and COVID masks, the economy, all of this will likely soon be overcome by events....as planned.

Does anyone think MIGS flying from Poland to the Ukraine will not return to Poland and it's supporting maintenance bases, spares, fuel, ordinance? RU is holding back it's Air Force for just such an event. If Putin sends cruise missiles into Poland, what will NATO do ?

Notice the lack of recent discussion regarding the upcoming US mid-term elections? My guess is there won't be any election.

Biden, or rather his handlers are holding back US oil production for a reason. Could that reason be war? I fear we are on the precipice.

I hope and pray I am wrong.

#6 are now preparing to indict Trump on conspiracy charges.

That should be fun — Donald J. Trump in the national spotlight again, this time with high priced lawyers at his side. CNN will be overjoyed to to be able to cater to the 90% of their audience that they lost when he went home. And the rest as well — they won’t be able to stop themselves from covering it

It’s not like the committee has a leg to stand on. They’re just hoping that somehow this will save their cumulative bacon in November, instead of the comparison between their boy and him being the difference between the living and the stumbling zombie.

#20 Why Hasn't the 40-Mile Russian Convoy Outside Kyiv Moved in Days?

I read an article somewhere that the Russian trucks use Chinese tires that turned out to be super-substandard. They can't go off-road without getting stuck so the roads are piled up three vehicles wide so vehicles can't get to the front of the columns without new tires or tracked vehicles. Then the long wait has led to batteries and fuel running out.

This might be propaganda, there has been a bit of that bandied about, but if true, that's the military fiasco of the century and will certainly lead to a bit of friction between China and Russia in the future.

No, that's right. That is why I got the fox news drive time hype man F-16s for Flying Tiger Club talk.

Had a talk with a neo-Klingon the other day. I hope I got the point across that if he is really for Ukraine, really really, then the best thing to do is let them fight "on their own". If they win "on their own" they negotiate with Russia from strength. If they lose "on their own", they have legitimate grievance. If NATO gets involved, they become a testing field and will always be subject to the current "winner". Are you for Ukraine as a self determining state, or are you for Ukraine because people who lied to you about Covid for 2 years, all these new found friends of Sean Hannity, say "Keev! Qapla!"?

If serious people are still involved, this is being played out and done, so chill. If serious people are not involved, then we don't need to get involved, so chill.

November 2020, Vindman joined the staff of the national security blog Lawfare with a fellowship of the Pritzker Military Foundation.[40] Additionally, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in international affairs at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, with an expected completion date in 2022.[41] On August 1, 2020, Vindman authored an opinion piece in the Washington Post addressing his retirement.[42] On February 2, 2022, Vindman sued several Trump allies, alleging that they intimidated and retaliated against him while he testified in Congress, and thereby violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. The defendants in the lawsuit are Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, former White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, and former White House deputy communications director Julia Hahn.

President Biden apparently promoted his brother last year.

#40 Ordering other countries' leaders what to do.

That is EXACTLY what US leaders beginning with Eisenhower in the Suez Crisis of 1956 have done repeatedly and with success when dealing with leaders of other nations whose warmongering threatened American interests. Should we have intervened in Hungary that year and set off WWIII? Ike said He'll no. He also kept us out of Vietnam; it was his Democrat successors who dragged us into that mess.

Read Evan Thomas's excellent account, "Ike’s Bluff: President Eisenhower’s Secret Battle to Save the World.”

Here's Evan Thomas recalling Ike's brilliance in 2013:

We think of Ike as a great military man, but as president he used his understanding of the military to rein it in.

Ike’s credo: true national security begins at home with a sound economy, shored up by a careful balance of resources and commitment.

How did Eisenhower do it? Once Ike extricated the United States from the Korean War in 1953, he managed to cut the defense budget over his two terms by about a quarter, from about 70% of the federal budget to 60%. (Today, defense is about 20% of federal spending.)

Aware from reading Clausewitz and his own experience that small wars have a way of becoming big wars, Eisenhower was determined to keep the United States out of any war. He resisted the temptation to send ground troops into Vietnam after the French military collapsed at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. The jungle, he told his National Security Council, would “absorb our troops by divisions.”

#53 The debate continues:

Is Putin an unstable megalomaniac who will stop at nothing to restore the Soviet Union to its former glory?

Or does he have legitimate concerns about NATO troops on his border?

OK, Putin is a ruthless dictator and a murdering bastard. But how does he see us? Since the collapse of the Soviet Union he has watched NATO advance from one country to another until now it is on the brink of moving into Ukraine which was never an independent nation but was the bread basket of the Soviet Union and, before then, the Russian Empire. Who is the aggressor?

I studied some Russian history in college. I don't remember a lot of it but I was left with some impressions. They have always been isolated way out there in Moscow, so far from glamorous cities like London, Berlin, Vienna and Paris. So they have always been backward compared to the rest of Europe and so their armies have never performed as well as some of their European rivals. We're seeing that now in Ukraine. So they have always relied on keeping vast tracts of land, like Ukraine, between themselves and their enemies.

It's also kinda strange that all this somehow suddenly happens in the lead up to our mid-term elections in which Democrats feared they would suffer staggering losses due to their inept governance. They need a distraction. Then you have Republicans who are on the take from defense contractors. It's been kinda slow since Afghanistan.

Also most peculiar are all the media types on TV, the internet and the newspapers banging on their war drums for all they're worth. They don't know jack squat about Ukraine or Russia and yet they are eager to take sides because bad, bad Putin and brave, brave Zelensky. It stinks. Take a look at CBS News, even Fox News lately, and tell me you can't smell it. Why are we all in such a hurry to take sides in a war that we don't understand?

Wake me up when Putin attacks Poland.

#58 MM,
Got it. 😂 🤣

#59 The Angiver (?) moron is definitely a NeoCon.
Dron-Ji was warned by friends about neocons here...

But point taken. This is a good crew. Am Fortunate to be here

#61 Ok. As a young boy who had no idea what shaving was about, the Personna commercial with the electric arc enthralled me.

#62 One of the cool older guys who ran with my brother's pack told us how he copped a feel with Bridget H_______, found out she was shaven down there, and hollered, "She's BALD! I've been ripped off royal!!"

Taught me worlds about gymnast girls' pubes and the declaratory use of 'royal' -- all during one sleepover anecdote.

But I was baffled by their use of "warm Coke." Still am.

#64 Nothing ever as funny as Sergio Aragones' bearded clam margin cartoons in National Lampoon.

"Cream in your coffee?" says one clam.
"Not recently." replies the other.

#65 "Boris" - fuck off

Yes, do fuck off, Boris(es). The script you all work from is old, well known, and busted. Ask your bosses for some new material. You all are not the first paid Russian trolls, below average in ability and won't be last. Pity, you all get paid by the byte and not the bite.

#66 Yes, do fuck off, Boris(es)

I think the plural is Borisi, unless it involves the genital case which is frequently used in Russian.

#67 A New England village in India
Once nurtured a digital ninja
Who, sadly, defected
The day he detected
An All-Russian Vinnytsia ginger.

Or possibly vice versa.

#68 Ooooohhhh, SteveS. It’s a good thing I was already in bed or I would have fallen off my chair.
