Putin stated he wants a return of all the historic Russian lands given away over the centuries. That means Alaska and part of the coast of California north of San Francisco.
The real question that should be asked of the people polled is, are you willing to go fight the Russkies yourself, or are you staying home safe behind your keyboard? Since we're so close to WWIII, might be time for a draft. Wonder how that will poll?
Indeed.if there is a draft it should be all males and females aged 18-60,no deferments execpt for those currently on government disability.The young Trumps,Biden's,Cheney's etc have to go.You in college?So what you have to leave.No more 5 time college deferments.No private Dr deferments like Trumps bone spurs. A lot people keep saying engage with Putin or call his bluff.If the US does that they don't seem to realize that Putin may not be bluffing and that The US has to be willing to go all the way the minute a Russian Troop dies at the hands of The US.
In searching for some truth, one must look to places other than our own media propaganda. Dore makes some good points, but as one of the comments to his video, (see copy below), it is somewhat slanted. Putin of course had options other than this full-scale invasion and no doubt also has had his hands in the game stirring up trouble for many years, as have we in the USA. As always, it comes down to money and power and there's not much of either to be had promoting peace and tranquility. What a f'n mess. Dore cherry picks so many facts. Doesn't mention the Minsk agreement took place after Russia sent in troops (green men). Both sides have used weapons on civilian areas including artillery and Grad rockets against civilians (UN report). Does Dore not remember the passenger plane the separatist shot down with Russian rockets? You can go back and forth with reasons behind a conflict but don't be an apologist. The fact is the war in Donbass had gone from its height to a virtual stalemate. There was no imminent threat to justify the invasion of the second largest country in Europe with a population of 44 million people. To believe that is delusional.

Yep, the cheerleaders might change their tune if they were the ones taking the hit. One thing for sure, this situation has sure made for some strange bedfellows on either side of the argument. LOL
The U.S. military is so large they will never need to do a draft again..not to mention a lot of war is foought by 1/3 the force sitting on ships firing missles or managing drones from Nevada.
