A recent poll showed nearly half of Americans surveyed want Washington to stop pushing for more war in Ukraine and start pushing for Kyiv to sit down for peace negotiations, even if it means giving up land to Russia to achieve an end to the fighting.
The Ipsos poll was conducted by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and found 47 percent of Americans want negotiations to begin, which is noticeable increase from July, when 38 percent held the opinion. The poll was conducted from 18-20 November.
The vast majority of Americans still support weapon transfers and sanctions against Russia, but the poll now showed a divide on “whether the United States should support Ukraine as long as it takes or if it should urge Kyiv to settle for peace as soon as possible.”
As we’ve extensively documented, any mention of peace has been banned in the media.
Nicholas Kristof, the columnist for The New York Times, penned an article today titled, “Are We in the West Weaker Than Ukrainians.” He argued that the Americans seeking a peaceful settlement must “gladden the heart” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Half of Americans are not global thermonuclear war enthusiasts.
Who knew?
“All we are saying is give peace a chance”
Land for peace, eh. Has that ever worked? Nope.
Let someone kill their families and throw them out on the street. Then ask them how much they want peace.
When the aggressor wanted land for peace it did not work but this land is a buffer against the aggressor who decided to expand NATO eastwards towards Russia in 1997 The United States of America then led by Bill “It All Depends On The Meaning Of What Is Is?” Clinton.
The aggressor has been rattling Russia’s cage and poking the stick at Russia ever since.
W / O communism
Russia is the enemy now
A complete lie. Countries have to ASK for NATO membership on a completely voluntary basis, invariably to protect themselves from Russia. Comrade Putin has confirmed their worst fears.
Then why no takeover of Russia when it was down?
Never mind building up Putin non-stop throughout the 2000s.
If they’re using the term “land for peace”, then it is all about appeasement of evil empires—exactly like Chamberlain’s “peace for our time”. (In this case, two evil empires, directly adjacent to the borders of the country in question.)
It’s probably closer to 80%. The right and left both agree we shouldn’t be prolonging this neocon wet dream.
The Democrats created the Russian Derangement Syndrome, not everybody has caught the disease.
“Land for peace, eh. Has that ever worked? Nope.”
America pouring money into foreign age-old hostilities doesn’t always work either.
The “Evil Empire” are the globalist scum who stole an election to get their cadaverous puppet into the White Hut.
Didn’t say it did. False dilemma; one is not the alternative to the other.
Yes they are. But there are more than just they who are evil.
No American troops, repayable and traceable LOANS only.
NO MORE BLANK CHECKS!!!!!
Huh? No comparison.
Half of Americans don’t even know where Ukraine is on a map. Half of Americans are also brain-dead when it comes to voting.
Half of Americans are clueless and ignorant.
Half of Americans would vote for Biden again.
