Do most Americans oppose negotiation that might end wars, in general?

Forever wars-. Is that how you mainly like to see them?

Uhm? The U.S. isn't the one that has to sit at the negotiation tables if it's the RU/UA war you're referring to

@Changeisgonnacome Give a phone call to Putin and look if that'll get it fixed then. Macron has been trying it for a while, to no avail.

Meanwhile while you're at it, if you don't mind, the world will continue to help thode who are defending their homeland.

@Elessar NATO and US war buffs are hardly the"world".

@Changeisgonnacome NATO and US war buffs (and EU)*together* are easily the strongest economic and military power on the planet.

If you think China, India, what's left of Russia and a bunch of third world central Africa countries can keep Russia afloat the sh*tstorm they've dived head first in, I have bad news for you.
Like every policy decision made by the US government, what the American working class wants is totally irrelevant statistically. Policy is dictated by the oligarchy and the special interest groups aka lobbyists. And for them war is profitable.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow are the people so used to it that they now pose no threat to the powerful?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That is why we don't have national healthcare, housing is tight and higher education is stupidly expensive.

War is profitable and the VA is a joke.
@Changeisgonnacome It has nothing to do with complacency. It is about democracy being subverted by oligarchy to the point that what the majority wants is irrelevant to the process.

negotiations are a two way street and maybe not always the americans fault if compromise cannot be found [changeisgonnacome]

@smiler2012 this time it probably is.

I doubt "most Americans" think about it much and don't have opinions on it. They are more concerned with their mundane, day-to-day lives and little things like feeding and taking care of their families.

@Changeisgonnacome Huh? Human beings are your words, not mine.
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@RedBaron you can call them most Americans again, still people. So let's be that obtuse?
RedBaron · M
@Changeisgonnacome You called them most Americans in your question. Do you have an actual, you know, point?

wars far away from home is good for business...

I don't think the war machine mindset is very popular by anyone... except maybe the NRA.
