While the US government is working hard to persuade the EU to continue supporting the war in Ukraine, the "anti-war" voice in the United States is gradually growing.
Elite politicians represented by Kissinger have expressed many times before that they hope that Europe and the United States can push the Russia-Ukraine war to negotiate, even if some Ukraine interests are sacrificed, the war should be stopped.
But at present, this proposal has obviously not been taken seriously by the US government. At the just-concluded NATO summit, the United States and the European Union still regard Russia as NATO "the most important and direct threat" .
In response to this "threat", Biden declared at the press conference after the NATO summit that the United States has convinced more than 50 countries to continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine .
Obviously, regarding the issue of whether the Russia-Ukraine war should continue to be fought or negotiated as soon as possible, not only are there differences in the international community, but the domestic attitude of the United States has also changed.
If we say that the previous rational discussions by Kissinger and others on how to end this war were just differences among high-level officials. Well, the recent events in the United States show that the "anti-war" voice has transitioned from a small elite to the social level.
According to recent reports from Russian media, U.S. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Green "forced the palace" of Biden, saying that the United States should immediately withdraw from NATO instead of providing U.S. taxpayers' money to Ukraine, and risking a nuclear attack Fight the dangers of and engage in a proxy war with Russia . She also said that the only people who support are the arms dealers who make money from the war .
At the same time, the University of Chicago in the United States also recently conducted a poll of more than 1,000 Ukrainians over the phone, asking them about who should be responsible for the Russia-Ukraine war.
According to the survey results, about 80% of people said that "Russia should bear a large responsibility for this war." There is nothing to say. But what is surprising is that at the same time, 47% of people believe that Kiev should bear a large responsibility for this war.
Those who believe that the actions of the Ukrainian government are related to the outbreak of the war account for 70% of all respondents. In addition, 458% of the respondents believe that the United States is the "culprit" in this war. The survey results of
are very interesting. First of all, from an international perspective, the United States provides assistance to Ukraine under the banner of helping Ukraine defend democracy and freedom. As a result, nearly 60% of Ukrainians believe that the United States is the culprit of this war. This is probably something Americans did not expect. The most interesting thing about
is that an American university made such an investigation report at this time, and the results of the investigation were still unfavorable to the United States.
Polling data is actually very tendentious. For example, this poll by University of Chicago . If the person who did the survey had not been politically inclined, how could he ask: Do Ukrainians think this? Is this war related to the United States? Often when a question is asked, its answer is already determined.
From this perspective, it is not so much that the Ukrainians complain that the United States brought the war to Ukraine, but that the Americans are dissatisfied. Why do they travel thousands of miles to Eastern Europe to support Ukraine in fighting this war with Russia? ? And this is the most direct expression of the "anti-war" public opinion in the United States.
There is an old saying in China: Blockages are worse than sparseness. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although the Biden administration has not explicitly suppressed "anti-war" voices in the United States, it has provided false information and ignored the wishes of Kissinger and other elites as soon as possible. The voices promoting Russia-Ukraine peace talks are actually trying to "defend the people."
However, increasingly serious inflation, an economy in recession, domestic gun violence, racial antagonism and other problems have already made the American people breathless. Now coupled with the rise in global oil prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, further deterioration of inflation, and a global food crisis, etc.
Opposition to the war is getting louder and louder, but the Biden administration seems to be a gambler who has staked all its chips. It simply cannot accept the result of Ukraine's complete defeat in the war. Therefore, it can only ignore the actual situation and grit its teeth and continue to persist. .
The goal that the Biden administration hopes for is that Russia will be unable to hold on before the United States. But now it seems that although Russia has suffered great economic trauma, its good basic energy and food supply capabilities have resulted in that although Russia's economic activities are restricted, its economic resilience is slightly stronger than that of the United States.
Now, all classes in the United States have gradually realized this situation, and are naturally unwilling to continue to pay for the Russia-Ukraine war for the sake of the "face" of the current government and the interests of the Democratic Party in the election.
In a word, if the Biden administration cannot adjust its attitude on the Russia-Ukraine conflict as soon as possible, then a larger and stronger "anti-war" wave will inevitably sweep across the entire United States.
