... nor the place they want to invade.

"On March 28-31, 2014, we asked a national sample of 2,066 Americans (fielded via Survey Sampling International Inc. (SSI), what action they wanted the U.S. to take in Ukraine, but with a twist: In addition to measuring standard demographic characteristics and general foreign policy attitudes, we also asked our survey respondents to locate Ukraine on a map as part of a larger, ongoing project to study foreign policy knowledge. We wanted to see where Americans think Ukraine is and to learn if this knowledge (or lack thereof) is related to their foreign policy views. 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."

Fox strikes again!

Some of the guesses on that map are truly mind boggling, especially the ones placing Ukraine in the US. Makes you wonder whether they even knew it was the US.

What we have here is one obvious independent variable, intelligence. Stupid people can't find Ukraine on a map, and stupid people want the US to use military force.

Apparently there are some issues with reading comprehension

"...self-identified independents (29 percent correct) outperformed both Democrats (14 percent correct) and Republicans (15 percent correct)."

I will add that the Left are the foremost one worlders.

Shurley you jest, in any case the chances of a one world government are so effing remote as to be unidentifyable.

They probably figure that all it takes for a war to happen is one of those patriotic "Support Our Troops" stickers.
