Snip:
Only one in four Americans approves of the US military campaign against Iran, a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Monday has indicated.
The weekend poll of roughly 1,300 US adults found only about 27% approved of the strikes, 43% disapproved, and 29% were unsure. Moreover, 56% of Americans – including one in four Republicans – said US President Donald Trump, who has ordered strikes in Venezuela, Syria, and Nigeria in recent months, is “too willing to use military force” under the pretext of advancing US interests.
While 55% of Republicans approved of the strikes, 42% said they would be less likely to back the Iran campaign if US troops are killed or injured. The poll closed before the Pentagon confirmed late on Sunday three US servicemen had been killed and several wounded.
Fuel price fears also weighed: 45% said they would be less likely to support the campaign if gas or oil prices rise. Global oil prices jumped by up to 13% on Monday on concerns over tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that carries about 20% of global oil and gas supplies.
Rubbish. Americans as a whole, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, have allowed their government to commit war crimes around the world. Obviously they’re not bothered enough to revolt. Americans are letting the world down. You deserve the government you have, as someone said - but unfortunately for the rest of the world, we’re paying for your psychotic rulers.

Furthermore, too many Americans are deflecting onto Israel as though the poor US government is being led by their tail into a war they don’t want. And let me guess, the majority are going to wait until the next election to vote a good one in because “This time, THIS time they will finally be on our side!” I don’t feel like I’m being reductive. I’m calling Americans out on what their problem is. This delusion of living in a democracy needs to go.
