Pacifist Nation: What Ever Happened To American Exceptionalism?

Does 'America First' really mean 'fu*k the world?' America used to be a powerhouse, and maybe the adventures of some presidents were overreaching - like Iraq and Afghanistan where soldiers died trying to make them Democratic, but in a case like Ukraine - will America First mean that Vladimir Putin can take over Europe while we sit by and watch?

Recent polling on whether or not Americans opt for a no-fly zone over Ukraine has expressed that citizens favor the idea, but when those polled are told what the definition and implications of a no-fly zone are, support significantly changes.

Supporters of the no-fly zone were at 40 percent of those polled, while opponents were at 25 percent. Nevertheless, Yahoo! News reports, the numbers switched once respondents were told that a no-fly zone means that NATO would engage in war with Russia, hitting down their planes over Ukrainian air space.

Support for the action fell to a mere 23 percent, while opposition rose to 43 percent, once Americans realized that a no-fly zone would mean war with Russia. Much of this change in opinion came from Republicans polled, "who went from supporting a no-fly zone by a 22-point margin (48% to 26%), to opposing it by a 38-point margin (55% to 17%)."

The Center for Nationalist Interest stated that "The suppression of enemy air defenses is one of the very first acts of enforcing any [No-Fly Zone] ... There's nothing de-escalatory about an NFZ, nor can the party imposing it ever be sure that it will be 'limited' in scope."

The appeal to Congress delivered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a virtual speech on Wednesday morning had the wartime leader repeat his ask for a no-fly zone over his country.

When it comes to that specific request, US President Biden previously declined the idea as it’d amount to a declaration of World War III. However, it was after Zelensky’s address that Biden finalized his approval for an additional $800 million in military and humanitarian aid to assist Ukraine’s defense of their country.
