Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that āmillions will be killedā in his countryās war with Russia without additional funding from the United States.
CNNās Kaitlan Collins asked Zelensky in an interview to respond to comments made by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who claimed Ukraineās outcome in its war will not be changed even if it receives the President Bidenās $60 billion aid request. Zelensky said he wasnāt sure if Vance āunderstands what is going on here.ā
āTo understand it is to come to the front line to see whatās going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand ā¦ what will [happen to] them without this support. And he will understand that millions ā¦ will be killed. Itās a fact,ā Zelensky said.
You see it on the left as anti-imperialism. Obviously not the same thing as the āAmerica firstā crowd, but the general sentiment that the US should not be as directly involved in the affairs of other countries has been on the rise for a long time and poll numbers bear that out
I see your point, but the sentiment is still strong that America should be involved as a global leader, even in the data you provided. While that number has gone down, it still shows that roughly two thirds of the electorate do not want to embrace isolationism. However, I do think it matters what that participation in the world looks like, and like anything else there is a lot of nuance to that.
