Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 16 [842]
This is a rare moment when Russia's and US taxpayers' interests overlap. We both hate NATO....
...erm....not really....
First:
Americans' opinions of NATO
Americans continue to hold a largely favorable view of NATO, with a majority expressing a positive opinion of the alliance. However, ratings have dipped slightly over the past year, driven largely by declining favorability among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
About two-thirds of U.S. adults see a benefit to NATO membership, but fewer say this today than in 2022. This change has also largely occurred among Republicans.
The share of Americans who believe the alliance's influence is getting stronger dropped 11 percentage points over the past two years, with similar declines among both Democrats and Republicans.
Those who have more knowledge of NATO are more inclined to see the organization favorably.This is a poll from May this year....so quite actual, actually!

The other point is that you keep presenting Russia as the winner here....but who has forgotten the actual promise made by Putin two years back:
"In 6 weeks in Kiev"...
And of course Zelensky will put up demands to agree to the future new border....and he will get stuff from the West otherwise impossible before...be it EU membership, inclusive gazillions of support-money, or even long lasting stationing of western "peace keepers", if not an actual NATO membership....all stuff unthinkable before for Ukraine!
