    By the logic of popularism, Biden should do the popular thing (impose a No Fly Zone) even if it means a nuclear war. I call this position Strangelovian Shorism.https://twitter.com/idreesali114/status/1499844253786288133 …

    Some 80% of Americans - including solid majorities of Republicans and Democrats - said the U.S. should stop buying Russian oil, according to the poll. An equally bipartisan 74% of Americans said the United States and its allies in NATO should impose a no-fly zone in Ukraine.

        Would like to see the poll with a full explanation of a NFZ, this has some manufacturing consent vibes…

        Let's translate this a popular anti-Putin sentiment and then let those with actual experience, information and discernment decide on the tactics.

        Yeah, I only accept the results of this poll as valid if people have been given a clear operating definition of a No Fly Zone before answering, which I'm sure they were not.

        I'm not convinced that the respondents fully appreciated the stakes involved with imposing a NFZ.

        I mean I think people just want him to say “I declare No Fly Zone” and then proceed as he is

        Tbf, all this poll represents is that people don’t know what a no fly zone is — bc roughy the same percentage is adamantly against shooting at Russians

        We all die anyways if there’s a nuclear war including Russians, call his bluff or give up our nukes such BS. What is the point of having nuclear weapons then? Putin has all the leverage because we gave it to him on this, he already considers sanctions to be “acts of aggression”

        Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the concepts of 'popularism' and 'democracy', exactly?
