That's absurd of course. Americans don't know and don't care about the war in Ukraine.
Half right and half wrong. And that misunderstanding is why Democrats are losing elections.
The average American knows more than you give them credit for and cares even less than you think they do. The most common sentiment on the Ukraine war is Americans irate their tax dollars are being shoveled into a foreign money hole. People know about Ukraine and have a decent understanding of the geopolitics. They know about the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, they know a thing or two about Hunter Biden and Burisma. And most people just care about keeping their job, paying their rent or mortgage, putting food on their table and saving for retirement.
Try actually talking to people. You can hear people chatting in public, at bars or public transport or wherever, your average citizen
knows something about politics. Its our buttholes, I'd hope if we all have one we know how it works
