I love how their messaging is that the proxy war is good actually because it's creating jobs. The obvious question here is whether it would be better to create jobs that actually make things people in US need like say housing or infrastructure as opposed to ones directed towards facilitating atrocities half way across the globe.

The change in sales pitch comes as polls show that Americans are growing more skeptical of the effort to help Ukraine — and continue to question Biden’s handling of the economy.

Wow. That's a pretty big crack there. Can you imagine capitalist media printing that last year?

I believe this used to be certifiable Russian propaganda even a few months ago.

The funny thing is the implication. These polls only show a comically small amount of Americans, who are usually pro or anti-whatever the narrative says to be pro or anti about. So the fact that even those polls are now showing a growing dislike of the Ukraine funding means that public support is in the single digits.
