Americans are Increasingly Wary of US Efforts to Harm Russia Causing Economic Damage in America

• Ron Paul Institute - Adam Dick

Since then, the US government's economic sanctions on Russia — as well as spending, military training, intelligence sharing, and weapons transfers to attack the Russian military — have increased as the economic conditions in America have declined. Some of that economic decline is a result of the actions against Russia, as Biden suggested would be the case. Other parts of the decline have other causes.

New poling results from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research indicate that Americans are increasingly wary of incurring economic costs in America due to efforts to inflict pain on Putin or, as the poll puts it, "sanctioning Russia." In fact, despite the nonstop hate Russia propaganda in the big money media, the polling indicates the majority of Americans are now opposed to harming the American economy to advance the anti-Russia crusade that Biden and most US Congress members have been pushing.

Support among polled individual for "sanctioning Russia as effectively as possible, even if it damages the US economy" dropped from 55 percent on March 22 to 51 percent on April 22 to 45 percent on May 22. Meanwhile, support for the contrary position of "limiting damage to the US economy, even if it means sanctions on Russia are less effective" rose each month from 42 percent to 45 percent to 51 percent.
