    This situation — in which narrow domestic politics could end American support for a war effort — is unusual, said Stacie Goddard, an international security expert at Wellesley College. The U.S. has abandoned war efforts in the past, typically after battlefield defeats or as the public loses trust in a cause. Neither is true for Ukraine. The war is at a stalemate, but Ukraine is not losing. And most Americans still support providing aid.

    Don’t think the first has been true for at least 6 months, and watch the second point dissolve if you frame the question as “do you want to participate in another overseas war while your groceries and gas are 20% more expensive?”
