A little piece of data to describe a rather dramatic difference between Europeans and Americans in their attitude towards Russia. These numbers are inconceivable for Europeans despite common ground between Europeans and Americans not liking the SMO. Support for 404 comes primarily by the way of incessant propaganda by establishment media both in EU and US--all those media are war criminals.
Americans are sharply divided over their perceptions of Russia, with a third of them claiming it is an ally, a CBS News/YouGov survey published on Sunday suggests. A poll conducted between February 26 and 28 found that 34% of Americans consider Russia an ally or a friendly nation, while 32% view it as unfriendly and another 34% see it as an enemy. Republican respondents were more likely to hold a favorable opinion, with 41% describing Russia as friendly or an ally, compared to fewer Democrats. It also showed that while 52% support Ukraine, 44% maintain a neutral stance, and only 4% side with Russia. Opinions on US President Donald Trump’s position are similarly split: just 11% believe he supports Kiev, whereas 46% think he favors Moscow. Another 43% say Trump treats both countries equally.
I reiterate--overwhelming majority of European population hates Russia and Russians; such numbers are simply impossible in Europe. In this sense, this sharp division does not exist in Europe--it is pretty much uniformed. Also, keep in mind that the poll is by CBS--a Goebbelsonean establishment propaganda outlet, but even their poll produces a very large minority (34%--this is very large minority), and for those who still have doubts about Europe--here is 2017 poll by Sputnik. Even then, 8 years ago and before the start of SMO, it was clear:
