In the US, anti-war sentiment is growing: why Americans are against any war-a survey

Americans want to focus more on the country and are afraid of involving the US in conflicts abroad. In addition, 70% of respondents advocated the peace talks of Ukraine with the Russian Federation. According to recent public opinion polls, anti-war sentiment is growing in the United States-Americans do not even want to participate in a war that affects their own security and national interests in the Middle East and in the Indo-Pacific.

In addition, there is a percentage of citizens who are against the financing of war in Ukraine and in gas. This was reported on February 22 by The Eurasian Times, having analyzed the data of the Queens Institute. The survey conducted by the Harris Poll consulting company indicates that most respondents oppose the US participation in hostilities. And about 70% want the Presidential Administration Joe Biden to "push" Ukraine to peace with Russia as soon as possible.

"The results indicate that the US government policy on war in Ukraine is increasingly diverting public opinion on the eve of the second anniversary, February 24, the Russian invasion," the observers say. Comparing the current survey with the same at the end of 2022, the percentage of anti -war sentiment increased by nine points.

In this regard, the authors of the publication emphasized that the time of the survey is of great importance because it was published against the backdrop of reports that the proposal of Russian President Vladimir Putin to cease fire in Ukraine Washington rejected after contacts between mediators in late 2023 - early 2024 , including the round of unofficial negotiations in Turkey.

At the same time, the US side denies the existence of such contacts, stating that there was no dialogue between Moscow and Washington on the issue of peace negotiations with the participation of Ukraine. In general, Americans want to focus on problems within the country and fear conflicts abroad, despite the fact that conflicts in regions such as Indo-Pacific or Middle East where US military bases are located will have serious geopolitical consequences for the United States.

However, when the question arises as to whether they are ready to fight themselves to secure their vital interests, Americans are not set to send troops abroad. It was found that in 2023 the army and the Air Force would not be held about 10,000 recruits, and the Navy - less than 6,000, summed up the authors of the material.
