High-income, Western-aligned democracies tended to give the highest disapproval ratings, with figures exceeding 90% in the U.S. (93%), Canada (91%) and 10 European countries -- including Poland, one of Ukraine’s staunchest allies in Europe, where 95% disapproved. In Ukraine itself, 96% disapproved.

Who are the 4% who approve of Russia in Ukraine

[ZIVERT]

Interesting that a lot of the countries that have a low disapproval rate are also countries that Russia/Wagner is deeply involved in.

1) Religious zealots from the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (which is basically an extension of the FSB).   
2) Some vile babooshkas with Lenin nostalgia. 
3) Brainwashed morons. 
4) Collaborators. 
5) All of the above.

A good thread about the Kremlin's propaganda efforts in Africa.

Which is funny cuz that coincides with the fact Macron made some weird comment about shifting Europe's dependence away from America which by itself isn't a bad idea but in this context, looks a bit more sus now. 

[GentleEarthquake]

Should be 100% for all countries

Perhaps because the US isn’t any better for global safety than Russia. France is doing the right thing by removing Europe from the US. Or we will have another Russia situation with the need for Russian energy.

Imagine believing that. France will not remove anything from Europe because eastern/central/northern Europe is very pro-US. Countries like Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Finland are existentially dependent on the U.S. so they don't give a **** what France has to say. France is pretty disliked there while the US has the highest approval in the world in countries like Poland. Moreover, Germany's current government is pretty pro-US so France will be alone (maybe with Hungary).

Europe is strong enough to defend itself. It does not need the US for that. Just looking at their spending, they are under their agreed upon budget goals for NATO. Depending on another country for defense is absolutely dumb. Especially since the US has shown to be aggressive plenty of times. This will surely blow up in Europes face when the far right takes over the US.

It's not. European armies are vastly underfunded, and the U.S. should demand that they meet their spending targets. 

Can you spot France in the picture below? When the biggest European country faced a genocidal invasion last year, the US was doing the heavy lifting by providing Ukraine with massive military aid. The U.K., Germany, Poland, and Scandinavian countries also provided a lot of military aid, but France provided very little aid. 

You should worry about the rise of far-right Nazi Marine Le Pen (who is currently the heavy favorite to win the next French presidential election). She will probably pull out of NATO anyway.

The US is only providing aid because those are military contracts that provide the country more money, and more political clout. The US will use that to their advantage. There’s no goodwill in their aid, just strings attached. All this does is further fuel the US military industrial complex. 
 

Europe, should be providing the most aid. They shouldn’t be depending on another country an ocean and continent away. Especially on another country well documented to be as bad as Russia. 
 

The far right is in European countries. But they did not come as close to the US one. Nor did they attempt to stage a coup. Really think about it. The US is simply one election away from having a far right government. If the Covid issue did not happen. Trump would be sitting in office happily letting Russia invade. Republicans are on Russian money.

Apologists for Russia can play the whataboutism card as much as they want, but just a quick look at what Russia has been doing shows how irrational it would be for any Western country to reduce funding to Ukraine. Investing in Ukraine's defense is one of the best investments any Western country can make, since a united Europe is important for international security and trade. Ukraine has no reason to turn down any funding, including U.S. funding, when they need all the support they can get to fend off the Russian invaders.

 

Russian imperialism has a long history, and even when you look at just recent events, Russia has already occupied Transnistria (originally from Moldolva), Abkhazia and South Ossetia (originally from Georgia), Crimea, Donestk, and Luhansk (originally from Ukraine), and are now trying to occupy the rest of Ukraine. When you look at this pattern, it's obvious that Russia is not going to stop at Ukraine, they are going to annex as much land from other countries as they possibly can. Anyone who wants to point fingers at other countries is missing the point. Russia is the aggressor in this situation right now, and Russia needs to be stopped.

Too low

But i was assured by ATRL users that only the USA and 2 Western European countries condemn Russias war in Ukraine, and the entire rest of the world supports Russia?
