In the US, the entire mainstream media has gone full blown neocon with the only exception being Tucker Carlson, who some mainstream media figures have actually called on to be arrested and tried with treason for mildly opposing the anti Russian neocon position.

In terms of what ordinary people's views have been, I've seen a surprising number of normies also reject the neocon position and worry about starting ww3. This has only increased since Biden and the Democrats have called for 40 billion more to arm Ukraine, so the tide might be turning a little despite the non stop propaganda.

There's no way to accurately gauge real widespread sentiment though, since the Neocons/Neoliberals control pretty much all means of mass communication in America.

This an age thing? Or maybe geographic I'm on the east coast. Everyone ik is unquestioningly pro Ukraine other than those who were radicalized to begin with. Idk any normies who are even slightly questioning of it.
