Three in four Americans say U.S. should support Ukraine despite Russian threats, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows
[Reuters] Nearly three-quarters of Americans say that the United States should continue to support Ukraine, despite Russian threats that it could use nuclear weapons to protect its territory, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Wednesday.

The polling suggested continuing backing for President Joe Biden's provision of weapons systems, training and other military assistance for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's government, despite concerns that the war might escalate if Ukraine is provided longer-range weapons that could hit Russia.

The online poll of 1,005 Americans showed that 73% agreed that the United States should continue to support Ukraine, despite Russian warnings that it could make use of its nuclear arsenal. Both Democrats and Republicans agreed, although there was more support among Biden's fellow Democrats - 81% - than Republicans - at 66%.

And in the most recent poll, conducted Oct. 4-5, 66% of respondents said Washington specifically should continue providing weapons to Ukraine, up from 51% in a similar poll in August.

#1  An “online poll,” eh? No integrity or quality problems there, no sir!

Here’s a genuine poll of verifiable actual U.S. voters.

Americans Support U.S. Diplomacy to End the War in Ukraine
Sep 27, 2022
Quincy Institute

It shows that US likely voters oppose continuing the war and favor negotiations by a margin of two to one. Even if it means Ukraine gives up a sizeable chunk of territory.

Not even close. Only Democrat voters have a sizeable minority that opposes negotiations.

A majority of American likely voters support U.S. pursuing negotiations “as soon as possible to end the war in Ukraine, and nearly half believe the Biden administration and Congress need to do more diplomatically to help end the war.”

#5  Americans Support U.S. Diplomacy to End War in Ukraine

Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft poll conducted September 16-19, 2022
survey of 1,215 likely voters

Key finding — majorities across all types of US likely voters favor
negotiations and compromise, as soon as possible.

Key question: Would you support or oppose the United States pursuing diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible
to end the war in Ukraine, even if it means Ukraine making some compromises with Russia?
Strongly support or Somewhat support negotiations: 57%
Don't know: 11%
Somewhat oppose or Strongly oppose negotiations: 32%
Net favoring negotiations: +25

Partisanship:
Democrat: +33 favor negotiations (62% to 29%)
Independent/3rd party: +23 favor negotiations (56% to 33%)
Republican: +22 favor negotiations (54% to 32%)

#6  Likely voters provide the best estimate of election outcomes. The worst estimates come from surveys of random individuals who, in many or even most cases, are not even registered to vote — let alone actually going to vote. Only about 60% or so of registered voters actually show up and vote in US elections.

The Gallup polling organization uses the 2004 presidential election to illustrate the benefit of using likely voters only in their polling samples:

“Here's an example. Gallup's final poll before the 2004 election showed the following:

Registered voters:
George W. Bush 46%
John Kerry 48%

Likely voters:
George W. Bush 49%
John Kerry 47%

“Kerry was ahead among registered voters by 2 points, while Bush was ahead among likely voters by 2 points.

“The final election result? Bush won the popular vote over Kerry by about 2.5 percentage points, almost exactly what our likely voter estimate predicted. Had we reported only registered voters, we would have estimated a Kerry victory. In other words, had all registered voters turned out in 2004, Kerry would have been elected president. But all registered voters didn't turn out. There was a Republican advantage among those who did turn out. And Bush won.”

#8  Americans Support U.S. Diplomacy to End the War in Ukraine

Link fixed. Chaim, you need to put the web page address, the URL, in the dropdown box, not the article headline. But you gave precisely the information needed to find the article you referenced, so thank you. Clearly you are climbing the learning curve.

What's an 'American likely voter'?

A legally registered voter with a history of actually voting and the intention to continue, Dron. Lots of registered voters never actually do — registering is easy, actually going to the polls or filling out and sending off a mail-in vote take effort.

According to Gallup, actual voters generally skew older, better educated, and Republican. Some elections also goose turnout among groups with whose special interests are addressed that time round — Blacks or Hispanics, say, or union members.

#10  No need for your post but appreciated anyway, Trailing Wife.

The Quincy Institute poll’s results make sense when you consider how batshit crazy and corrupt the Washington foreign policy Blob is. They’re completely out of touch with the American people on this issue… as they are on so many issues. They’ve lied so much, and spun the truth so much, that they’ve convinced themselves the people support them when the truth is that Americans want negotiations now.

Marcus Stanley of the Quincy Institute explains the disconnect between the public’s appetite for negotiations and Washington’s appetite for escalation and warmongering:

Americans Are Running Out of Patience With Biden's Approach to Putin's War
Newsweek
By Katharine Fung
10/1/22

“Polls have been consistent in finding that people faulted Russia for what are some pretty outrageous and illegal actions, and that they support assistance to Ukraine," Marcus Stanley, Quincy's advocacy director, told Newsweek. "But what people have not been asking about is whether people favored seeking a diplomatic or negotiated solution to the war."

He noted that while people try to pit diplomacy strategies and support for Ukraine as mutually exclusive approaches, he doesn't believe that to be the case. Stanley said that the poll, which has a margin of error of 3 points, was not asking people to choose between one or the other, but questioning if there was broad support for combining the current support for Ukraine's sovereignty with peace talks.

“We found quite strong public support for the idea of pairing our assistance to Ukraine with a diplomatic or negotiation track," Stanley said. However, he noted, "In Washington, D.C., it would be considered almost a radical perspective to say that we should even be talking to Russia at all."

#11  You're telling me Reuters pulled 1,000 active users? Must have issued a memo.

Must have read the comment about never seeing a poll with less than a 2:1 in favor ratio.

#12  It's possible to support Ukraine and support the idea of diplomacy at the same time. Everybody supports the idea of diplomacy as long as they get what they want out of it. And diplomacy works for absolutely nobody that doesn't have other means at their disposal.

#13  Asking if you support diplomacy is the same as asking if you support world piece. Endless empty calories to feed one's self esteem.

‘Struth, Chaim — you submitted your useful explanation while I was still typing... Possibly there was also a morning nap in the middle of my process. ;-)

But with regard to polls like this, it seems to me America is a democratic republic instead of a direct democracy for a reason. If changing our involvement in Ukraine is that important to those who actually vote, as opposed to thinking that going the negotiation route would be awfully nice but other concerns are more urgent, we’ll see the result in the election only a month away. Polling only indicates how things probably will go — like so much else, until it happens in real life we can’t know how factors we didn’t think to measure and calculate in the model will effect the outcome.

#18  There's also a giant advertising campaign in progress to convince US citizens not only to get completely involved, but to expect a nuclear exchange in the process.

Its why you see polls like this, why radiation sickness medicine ads all popping up in social medias, and stories like "Why Nuclear War would be good at preventing global warming."

#22  Sadly.. the war Pr0n videos from this war are much more violent with flying bodies and tank turrets than even the most violent Hollyweed film or many games.

People would stay home, riddled with fear, watching TV all day long for updates, and cede all sorts of allowances to The Fed. Imagine the Compliance!

My favorite episode of The Covid was 15Fteen Days. Its the one when all the cosplayers were "Falling Dead" in the streets, then the proposal for Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve. Little Easter Egg was how a board game called Pandemic just happened to appear during that "temporary but necessary" lockdown. Fun for the whole family!

BS. That game was around for years before the Wuflu. We pulled out our copy to play for the occasion. I'm sure they took advantage and reprinted it, though.

I get off the beaten path a bit, but I'd never heard of it, then couldn't get away from the ads. Graphic style looked pretty modern so many that is it.

If you or the idiots who wrote that article knew a thing about how Starlink worked, they'd understand that it's being turned on or off based on the location of the antenna. The antenna MUST know its location for the satellite tracking to work.

Looks like Starlink is being enabled or disabled in Ukraine based on the approximate battle lines, to make sure the orcs can't use any captured units. IOW, the Ukes are advancing fast enough they can't keep up. (Starlink probably has more intel on the location of the battle lines than anyone outside the Uke command or the NRO.)

Do better, troll. You don't want to end up with proles toting a rusty AK, do you?

Two Russians land on Alaska beach seeking asylum from Putin's mobilization
Two?
[Jpost] Alaska senators called for further preparedness in the Bering Strait in case more Russians begin seeking asylum.

Two Russian nationals landed at a beach on Alaska's St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Strait and requested asylum in the US, the offices of US Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan announced on Thursday evening.

The two refugees landed at a beach near Gambell, an isolated community on the northwestern part of St. Lawrence Island. Gambell is located about 46 miles (75 kilometers) from the closest Russian community across the Strait.

“We are actively engaged with federal officials and residents in Gambell to determine who these individuals are, but right now, we already know that the federal response was lacking," said Murkowski. "Only local officials and state law enforcement had the capability to immediately respond to the asylum seekers, while Customs and Border Protection had to dispatch a Coast Guard aircraft from over 750 miles away to get on scene."

In July, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin warned that Russia could demand Alaska back if the US continued seizing Russian resources.

"Decency is not a weakness. We always have something a response. Let America always remember that there is part of its territory, Alaska. When they start trying to dispose of our resources abroad, before doing so, let them think that we also have something to claim back," said Volodin.

Russia colonized Alaska in the late 1700s but sold the territory to the US in 1867.

Big explosion reported at Shaikovka airfield near Kaluha (Kaluga)
[LiveUAMap] Big explosion reported at Shaikovka airfield near Kaluha (Kaluga, ~300km inside Russia), according to governor drone crashed.

According to Unian, 2 TU-22M3s bombers were destroyed. They had launched cruise missiles into Ukraine from Belarusian airspace.
Explosions at an air base near Kaluga: a drone destroyed two TU 22M3s that bombed Ukraine

The Ukrainians claim the drone was launched from inside Russia, near the airbase. Same pattern as the very destructive airbase attack in Saki, Crimea?
A UAV with a shell for a grenade launcher was launched this morning near the part itself - it did not fly from the territory of Ukraine to Russia.

There are no military or important objects near the impact site - only civilian buildings and apartment buildings. During previous shelling, civilian infrastructure was the target of the occupiers, Starukh emphasized.

22:30 Zelensky said in an evening video message that any decisions by Putin regarding the Zaporizhzhya power plant and any attempts by Russia to transfer the plant allegedly into its own ownership are "insignificant and, frankly, pointless."

21:39 Zelensky's press secretary Sergei Nikiforov clarified the president's words about a preventive strike on the Russian Federation: "Colleagues, you have gone a little far with your nuclear hysteria and now you hear nuclear strikes even where there are none. The president spoke about the period until February 24. Then it was necessary to take preventive measures in order not to allow Russia to start a war. Let me remind you that the only measures that were discussed at that time were preventive sanctions. Blackmailing the world with explosions at the ZNPP and in every possible way hinting at the use of nuclear weapons allows only the terrorist state Russia. You will never hear such appeals in Ukraine."

20:57 During a meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Zelensky called on the organization to condemn Putin's decision to "transfer" the Zaporizhzhya NPP to the ownership of the Russian Federation: "We were very much looking forward to a tough statement from the IAEA on this matter. The society is very much looking forward to this condemnation. In my personal sense, this is - raiding".

"

20:19 Reznikov said in an interview with Forbes that Ukraine's partners do not need to be afraid of Russian nuclear weapons: "As for the technical condition of Russia's nuclear weapons. All of its nuclear potential ended in 1997. And when was the last time they tested nuclear weapons? At the end of 1990 "-s in Kazakhstan at the appropriate training ground. Where will they use it? On the front line to destroy not only Ukrainian, but also their own units? The Black Sea? There are three NATO countries."

The minister stressed that "after Mariupol, Bucha, rocket attacks" Ukrainians cannot be intimidated by nuclear weapons: "Stop being afraid of Russia. This is not the second army of the world, these are beggars, looters and rapists. This is a prison that attacked Ukraine."

18:50 Zelensky is sure that the world will never forgive Putin if he uses nuclear weapons. In addition, he is convinced that Putin himself will not survive in such a scenario: “It seems to me that the director of Russia himself loves his life, and I think that he understands that after the use of nuclear weapons, he will not be able to save his life. I am sure of this ".

18:47 In Zaporozhye, after the morning rocket attack, rescuers still continue to work. As of the moment, it is known about three dead, said the head of the OVA Alexander Starukh. 12 patients were delivered to medical institutions - nine of them were hospitalized, three refused hospitalization after a medical examination.

According to Bolvinov, among the most common tortures are electric current, gas masks, beatings, and pulling out nails. “There is also a man whose arm was broken, after which they began to put bicycle knitting needles under the skin on his back.

They are scattered throughout the territory of this state, in remote regions of Russia. Many documents were taken from them, many of them went through the terrible filtration camps of the occupiers, where they were mocked and intimidated.

11:56 Ukraine appealed to the IAEA, the European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson and the relevant ministers of the G7 states with a call for decisive action against the Russian nuclear industry because of Russia's intentions to "legally consolidate" the occupation of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by Rosatom, Energy Minister German Galushchenko said.

11:14 In Zaporozhye, the Russians hit the infrastructure, said the secretary of the City Council Anatoly Kurtev.

11:11 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Putin is preparing to remove Shoigu from his post, shifting the blame for the defeat at the front onto him. According to analysts, now the head of the Kremlin is looking for support among the security forces, trying to strengthen his position. Growing criticism of partial mobilization and failures at the front lead Putin to blame Shoigu.

10:50 The head of the Zaporizhzhya Regional Military District Oleksandr Starukh announced another missile attack.

10:31 Some collaborators of the Kherson region moved their families to the Crimea, while publicly declaring that there is no panic, said the first deputy chairman of the Kherson Regional Council, Yuriy Sobolevsky.

10:09 British intelligence notes that Russia does not have enough personnel to defend the Kherson region and it is probably planning to deploy mobilized reservists in this sector. Moving south, Ukrainian units have pushed the front line another 20 km, primarily through advances along the eastern bank of the Ingulets and the western bank of the Dnieper, but they do not yet threaten the main Russian defensive positions.

The Russian command probably views the growing threat in the Nova Kakhovka sector as one of its most pressing concerns. In particular, the damaged river crossing over the Dnieper in the area remains one of the few available ways for them to replenish their forces. Russia faces a dilemma: the withdrawal of military forces across the Dnieper makes the defense of the rest of the Kherson region more stable, but the political imperative will remain to defend itself.

Analysts also point out that Russia has deployed most of its understrength airborne troops to defend Kherson. Thus, Russia currently has few additional high-quality rapid deployment forces to stabilize the front: it is probably aiming to deploy mobilized reservists in this sector.

09:58 This morning, the Russians fired two rockets at the Shepetovsky district of the Khmelnytsky region. One rocket fell near an infrastructure facility, no damage or fires. The second fell on the wasteland. According to preliminary information, as a result of the rocket fall, minor damage was recorded to some of the surrounding houses. There were no dead or injured, said the head of the OVA, Sergei Gamaly.

09:40 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of October 6. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Kramatorsk, Avdeevsky and Krivoy Rog directions.

personnel - about 61,330 (+330) people liquidated,
tanks - 2449 (+14),
armored fighting vehicles - 5064 (+26),
artillery systems - 1424 (+10),
MLRS - 344 (+3),
air defense systems - 177 (+0),
aircraft - 266 (+0),
helicopters - 232 (+0),
UAV operational-tactical level - 1047 (+15),
cruise missiles - 246 (+0),
ships/boats - 15 (+0),
automotive equipment and tankers - 3854 (+13),
special equipment - 134 (+2).
09:21 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of enemy shelling, four civilians were killed - three in Torsk and one in Zarechny. In addition, ten more civilians killed by the Russians during the occupation were found in the newly liberated cities: five in Svyatogorsk and the same number in Liman. Three more people were injured yesterday, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

09:04 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Ukraine's counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region has not yet reached its climax and is now moving towards the Lugansk region. The Russians failed to hold the banks of the Oskol and Seversky Donets rivers and use them as natural borders to prevent Ukrainian forces from advancing into vulnerable areas of Russian-occupied northeastern Ukraine.

Analysts note that the terrain of the western part of the Luhansk region is suitable for a quick maneuver war, which Ukrainian forces effectively used in the eastern part of the Kharkiv region in early September. According to ISW, there are no signs yet in open sources that the Russian military has significantly strengthened itself in the western part of the Lugansk region.

Ukraine's northern and southern counter-offensives are likely to force the Kremlin to prioritize the defense of one area of ​​operations at the expense of another. ISW analysts believe that this potentially increases the likelihood of Ukraine's success in both areas.

09:00 Air defense in southern Ukraine destroyed nine Shahed-136 Iranian kamikaze drones, with which the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine on the night of October 6, the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.

08:55 The Armed Forces of Ukraine seized so many Russian weapons as trophies that Moscow has become the largest supplier of heavy weapons to Ukraine, writes WSJ. This technique helps Ukrainian troops to retake the eastern regions of the Donetsk region, including Liman, and move further east. According to the publication, Ukraine captured 460 Russian main battle tanks, 92 self-propelled howitzers, 448 infantry fighting vehicles, 195 armored fighting vehicles and 44 multiple rocket launchers. At the same time, the real number is probably more, the newspaper notes.

08:36 In the early morning, the Russians attacked infrastructure facilities and residential buildings in Zaporozhye with missiles, the head of the OVA Alexander Starukh said. As a result of the attacks, fires broke out in the city, residential buildings were damaged. In total, the enemy fired seven rockets at high-rise buildings. According to preliminary information, one person died, another died in an ambulance. At least five people remain under the rubble, many were rescued, including a three-year-old child who was hospitalized.

08:03 This morning, during an air raid, the enemy attacked the territory of the Khmelnitsky region. The sounds of explosions were heard, according to preliminary information, there were no victims, said the head of the OVA, Sergei Gamaly.

07:45 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Vyemka, Soledar, Odradovka, Bakhmutskoye, Bakhmut, Krasnogorovka, Mayorsk and Novomikhailovka, the General Staff said in the morning report . In the Yuzhnobuzhsk direction, the invaders continue to regroup and withdraw their units. As a result of the gradual liberation of the occupied territories, simultaneously with the withdrawal of units of the Russian occupation troops, supporters of the occupation authorities are leaving.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that "NATO should make it impossible for Russia to use nuclear weapons."

”Preemptive strikes are needed so that they know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons.

Briefly about the situation in the Kremennaya-Svatovo area
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have completed the regrouping and concentrated their forces in the area of ​​the village of Pershotravnee. Forces from Kupyansk approached there and united with those troops that were operating in the Liman area. The forces are large, a lot of equipment, including Caesars. The bulk of the equipment is new armored vehicles of Western and Turkish production.

The main goal is a concentrated strike on Svatovo, with the designation of actions on Kremennaya. Ukry, by the way, disperse that the main strike is planned for Kremennaya and post a video with an alleged concentration of equipment and personnel, which, logically, should act against Kremennaya, but in my opinion this is not so. The attacking formations of the enemy are aimed at Svatovo and most likely the offensive will take place no later than tomorrow.

Bloggers and TG channels predict (as they predicted strikes near Kharkov and Krasny Liman, but the Russian Defense Ministry turned out to be unprepared for them) APU strikes in three directions.

I have only one question, if TG "Rybar" knows the disposition, do they read this channel in the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces? Or they don’t collect information from open sources at all (of course, then they check it without fail).

There will be embarrassment if everything turns out like this, and the military will shrug their shoulders: but how could we assume this? We did not know! Or rather, not embarrassment, but "regrouping". And it will be another tragedy for the people living there.

It is clearly seen that the RF Ministry of Defense lacks a limited grouping to conduct a military defense. But why did the generals not insist on partial mobilization at least in April, but took care only in September, after several waves passed in Ukraine and the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine increased by 4 times?

#1  I'm not convinced. Svotove isn't exactly on the way to anywhere in particular other than Staroblisk which is likewise on the way to nowhere in particular other than the border.

And the UA have been mostly very task- and goal-oriented, going in more or less direct envelopment arcs during the whole of the Kharkiv campaign. And the goal is taking back Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk, not another expanse of empty northern Luhansk countryside.

I'd expect them to do another left hook north of Kreminna, which means, say, Ploschenka and Holykove. Nasty marsh country east of there, though.

War in Ukraine. Summary 06.10.2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] 1. Near Svatovo and Kreminnaya, the RF Armed Forces continue to hold the line against the backdrop of the accumulation of forces by the enemy for strikes to the north and south of Svatovo.

A frontal assault on Svatovo and Kremennaya is unlikely.

It is also unlikely that the Armed Forces will attack Krasny Liman at the current stage.

2. Near Artemovsk, our troops made progress in Otradovka and Zaitsevo. Otradovka was taken, Zaitsevo will be taken tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After that, the direct assault on Artemovsk will become relevant.

3. In the Nikopol direction, the enemy is probing a new line of defense in order to continue the offensive on Berislav. We can expect the continuation of active offensive operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the next few days, plus auxiliary strikes in the Posad-Pokrovsky direction.

4. The enemy is building up a grouping in the Zaporozhye direction.
Potential directions of strikes are Vasilievka, Tokmak, Pologi. It is not excluded the repetition of attempts of river assault near the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

5. In the Donetsk direction, a small advance of our troops in the Pervomaisky area is reported.

In Avdievka, Marinka, Ugledar - no changes.

Also without significant changes in Soledar and in the ruins of Spornovo.

PS. I remind you that the main coverage of hostilities is in Telegram https://t.me/boris_rozhin , and not in LiveJournal.

If you are interested in following, subscribe - there are more than enough materials on NWO.

Some especially gifted characters are not able to realize this, so we said goodbye to them. Nothing will change in this approach until the end of the war. I remind you once again that this is not a restaurant in the style of what you please, but a Soviet canteen.

A more systematic output of reports will resume after I return to Sevastopol.

#1  By shutting down the pipelines, the Russians were in breach of the gas delivery contracts on Nord Stream 1. They were liable for gas not delivered. The amount was growing each day and already reached billions of Euros.

The destruction of the pipelines invalidated the contracts (Force Majeure clause). How fortuitous for the Russians.

Then the Russians tried the "You want candy little girl?" ploy with the undamaged half of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The Germans told the Russians, "Buzz off creep."

Putin 'wants to take the world with him when he dies' and 'the decision about using tactical nukes has already been made', says political expert behind claims over Vladimir's health

  • Political scientist Valery Solovey claims to be an expert on Putin's 'failing health'

  • He has claimed Putin is on death's door, and wants to take the world with him

  • Solovey said the world is closer to 'nuclear apocalypse' than Cuban missile crisis

  • Speculation over Putin's health has been rife since February invasion of Ukraine

#5  More likely Biden's way. Difference Biden will solicit cash payments, a con man in real life. Daily mail has had Putin dying forever. Putin was a lawyer so he thinks legally. Replace him and his replacement will do things much more aggressively. To overcome Putin's deficiency or perceived weakness.

Probably has something to do with Elenskyyy throwing out the possibility of negotiations and calling for NATO to preemptively launch nuclear strikes against Russia.

Swedish investigative team finds 'detonations' damaged Nord Stream pipeline

#4  Let me get this straight. The Russians designed, built and operate the pipelines - they presumably are subject matter expert’s on the technical aspects of them. Yet they are not permitted to provide input / insight on what happened and are actively excluded from the incident site. That doesn’t inspire confidence in the folks conducting an impartial investigation into the situation.
