Just one in four Americans supports the Trump administration’s ongoing strikes on Iran, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday.

The disapproval rating was 43 percent, while 29 percent said they were not sure.

About half of respondents—including one in four Republicans—said the president was too open to using military force. The poll surveyed 1,282 US adults starting on Saturday, following news breaking of the strikes.

    This is why Canadians aren’t reassured at all when Americans say “the people would never support a war on Canada.” Like that means anything at all. When Trump says jump, there’s no war crime America won’t commit, and all the people will do is wring their hands and post worthless sympathies on Instagram. Trump doesn’t care what you believe about your rights. Neither do the thousands of Iranians dying in your name.

        Around 2/3rds of American voters either voted or didn’t vote at all, therefore accepting Trump as President.

      The people don’t matter. That’s why they need openAI. Your government needs to make serious moves now. Otherwise you’re waiting on a strike or Luigi.

      Can’t blame you, really.

      But why did Carney come out and openly support the strike on Iran?

      How do Canadians feel about that? Any polling?

        I’m from EU, but I’ve generally been impressed with Carney, but on this he completely misses the point IMO.
        Although Iran is awful, supporting terrorism and oppressing their own population, this attack on Iran is not the way to do it.
        Especially without a plan on how this is supposed to be finished! This attack is just destructive, and has no good ending in sight.

        Broadly unhappy with his bending the knee. There’s significant talk of anti-war protests.

        Yes some are resisting, but not enough and the resistance is 100% ineffective.
        It hasn’t stopped Trump doing anything, including ICE shooting people in the face, destroying the economy, undermining NATO, helping Russia against Ukraine.
        Trump has 100% control of the executive branch, the most dangerous and powerful part of US government. And he does as he wishes, and nobody is stopping him.
        Even worse 40% of the population still support him! It’s not just Trump that is the problem, it’s the majority of the American population.

        Republicans would fucking attack Canada just to own the libs! And the dems would do NOTHING!
