As Support For Ukraine Is Waning Among Europeans, Pentago Warns Biden War Fatigue In The USA Is Growning

 

In April 2022 the majority of Europeans who responded to opinion polling questions on Ukraine  “fully approved of” , continuing to provide weapons and ammunition, financial support and humanitarian aid to the government and people if Ukraine in that country's war with Russia, and furthermore wanted the economic sanctions already imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 stepped up. Similar levels of support for the neo - Nazi government in Kiev were also recorded by opinion polls in the USA.

However, by the third quarter 2023 similar polling shows a significant mood change with none of the measures that previous had overwhelming support now being backed a majority of EU or US citizens.

In a meta analysis of polling results, support for providing humanitarian aid to people affected by the war was found to have dropped from 64 percent last year to 47 percent. Support for welcoming without question Ukrainian refugees into the European Union decreased from 55 percent to 36 percent, while approval for the continuation of economic sanctions against Moscow has dropped from 55 percent to 46 percent.

Similarly, just 26 percent of Europeans now totally agree with the European Union providing financial support to Ukraine, down from 42 percent, and only 24 percent totanowlly agree with the supply of military equipment to Kyiv.

In fairness we should point out that all of the above categories, with the exception of supplying military equipment, still garner a majority of support when factoring in those who opted for “somewhat agree,” but the latest polling show a trend diminishing support for a conflict that after eighteen months seems no nearer a solution.

Ukraine was dealt a heavy blow earlier this month when Poland, one of Kyiv’s staunchest allies in the conflict against Russia, announced it would no longer be supplying weapons to its neighbor and would instead be focusing on stockpiling its own national defenses.

And the war fatigue effect is not confined to Europe. Over the weekend the US Congress, in a last minute bi partisan deal, passed its short-term funding package which narrowly avoided a government shutdown only by removing from the appropriations money allocated for financial and military assistance for Ukraine. 

President Biden has warned that time is running out on available aid. He told Congress to "stop playing games" and agree to provide whatever funds and advanced weaponry the madman Zelenskyyyyy demands. Hardline Republicans however dug in their heels and refused to cooperate with the cognitively impaired president or whoever is pulling his strings (no prizes for guessing that person's name begins with O and ends with bama.)

"We cannot under any circumstances allow America’s support for Ukraine to be interrupted" the Biden said, and added, "We have time, not much time, and there’s an overwhelming sense of urgency." Biden vowed he will "not walk away" from supporting Kiev. It is not just the Republicans in congress that are distancing themselves from The White House's proxy war with Russia. Late on Saturday CNN reported a top a top US defense official warning the politicians as follows

"The Department of Defense "has exhausted nearly all available security assistance funding for Ukraine," offering stark warnings about the battlefield effects of failing to pass new assistance.

 

A sense of boredom with the war is also starting to set in among the electorate as the election draws near. A recent SSRS poll for CNN revealed a majority of Americans now believe that Washington D.C. should withdraw financial support to Kyiv and scale down shipments or armaments to the Ukrainian military who tend to treat multi million pound missiles as if they are fireworks at a carnival.

A total of 55 percent of respondents said that the U.S. Congress should not authorize further funding for Ukraine and 51 percent of those polled said that NATO’s largest contributor had already done enough to help the country.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed.

Leaked email: Senior OPCW Official Orders “Delete All Traces” Of Dissent On Douma Gas Attack Narrative
... The official narrative was designed to justify military intervention by US and NATO in Syria’s civil war, but western leaders were dissuaded fro, this course of action by Russia’s Putin and China’s President Xi. Later it was revealed that a minority report actually considered the facts, which pointed to the gas attack on Douma being a false flag attack carried out by forces attached to terrorist group Al Nusra.

Recall, too, that US Secretary of State John Kerry demanded last month, with typical haughtiness, for Russia to «bring Assad to the negotiating table». Not that there is much to discuss as far as Washington, London or Paris are concerned. Assad has to go, in their arrogant view, sooner or later.

By going into so-called «diplomacy mode», as opposed to covert terrorist-supporting mode, what the Western imperial overlords expect is for Russia to comply with a political framework concocted in order to push Assad from power. That modus operandi is a negation of Syrian sovereignty, of course. And Russia is much too intelligent to be hoodwinked by these Western charlatans.
