Polls: Americans Repeatedly Say "No!" to U.S. Intervention in Ukraine
21 March 2014
In polls taken over the past few weeks by a number of opinion survey and news organizations, the American people have sent a remarkably unified message to President Obama and the U.S. Congress: Stay out of Ukraine!
Despite being peppered with a constant onslaught of dramatic news video footage from Kiev and the Crimea, as well as a visit to the Obama White House by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, and the usual stable of policy experts from the Brookings Institution and the Council on Foreign Relations advocating more robust U.S. intervention, Americans across the political spectrum remain opposed to still another foreign venture.

Says you but history shows that's the choice. Major leaders won't back away or face ridicule of weakness. We are always faced with 'he's another Hitler, we have to stop him'. Every country or cause wants us to be the avenging angel. Sorry, when we confront another nation, war is an outcome. What we have to consider, is war WORTH IT TO US.
Nonsense. Countries have conflicts all the time that don’t end in war. We managed for 50 years to avoid war with the Soviet Union and they were a bigger threat.
