We found that only one out of six Americans can find Ukraine on a map, and that this lack of knowledge is related to preferences: The farther their guesses were from Ukraine’s actual location, the more they wanted the U.S. to intervene with military force.

I'm guessing that the further away their guesses were from Ukraine's actual location, the more likely they were to
- be religious
- oppose marriage equality
- reject evolution
- support voter ID laws designed to keep minorities from voting
- want to cut "entitlements" but not the military

Can we just admit that one third of Americans are just plain stupid and should not be allowed to vote or reproduce?

When you place the Ukraine inside the borders of the continental United States, you shouldn't have a voice when it comes to important decisions.

But the Democrats are exactly as racist, so it evens out.

It's true, I tell you!

A war with Russia over Ukraine is just not gonna happen.
I would also say some wars to prevent larger wars are necessary. eg. If we had gone to war against Hitler in the 1930's, World War II, which caused unprecedented destruction, and cost 60 million lives could have been prevented.
To say all wars in this day and age are dumb, does not equate.

Not really. Libertarians and libertarian leaning politicians are the only ones who really want to stop the costly (lives and money) incessant meddling of the US military/CIA in affairs/wars they have no business or justification whatsoever to stuff their noses into the first place. Republicans and Democrats = the same.
