Two thirds said yes! Russia must protect Assad from US aggression

The All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) conducted a survey of Russian citizens on the topic of Syria. In the course of the survey, only one question was asked: “Should Russia support Syrian President Bashar Assad in the event of the start of hostilities by the US against the current Syrian government?” Two thirds (66%) of Russians responded positively, it follows from the published survey data.

In the event of the start of hostilities by the US against the current Syrian authorities, Russia should be given military support to President Bashar Assad - two thirds of the respondents are sure (66%)

- leads RIA News survey results

This share is made up of 35% confident that Russia "should certainly" support Assad in this case, and 31% of respondents who answered this question "should rather be." At the same time, as sociologists note, this position among men is shared by 76%, and among Russians of the older age group from the age of 60 years - 75%.

On the contrary, 18% of all respondents do not consider such a step to be true: 12% say that Russia "shouldn’t rather" provide military support to Syria if the States begin hostilities, another 6% believe that they "absolutely should not" do that. At the same time, there are significantly more opponents of military support among the youngest respondents - 37% in the 18-24 age group.

Sociologists note that almost the same number of Russians gives positive (33%) and negative (30%) estimates of the consequences of the operation in Syria. Moreover, among the negative consequences are the threat of an attack on Russia and even the beginning of the third world war - 9%.

Among the positive consequences of the respondents see the normalization of the situation in the region (11%), as well as the fact that Russia will increase its influence on the world stage.

The All-Russian VCIOM-Sputnik survey was conducted on 14-15 on April 2018 of the year among 2 thousands of respondents older than 18 years. The survey method is a telephone interview, the statistical error does not exceed 2,2%.

There will immediately be traffic jams at the border, there will be long lines to Finland and Donetsk with both belongings with Donetsk and Lugansk.

[Stas157]

Why do we need Syria?
Judging by how Putin trades Syrian lands in the negotiations (how many donated to the Turks!), This Syria, as such, is not of interest to the Russian president! He has not once declared the inviolability of the principle of territorial integrity of Syria, but does anyone believe this? The Russian elite seems to be solving its political and economic problems there, and the issue of protecting and integrity of Syria is far from the foreground.
If our president does not need Syria, then why do we need it?

[rocket757]

The question is what? Power to defend or Country?
However, the dispute is old, everything has long been decided!
We will defend the country, well, and the authorities will survive at the same time!

This is a difficult question.
Suddenly, Western "relatives" like Nicholas II from their own generals will not save?
And 90? When did the generals overrun quietly with the “democrats" during the first boom? And the oath did not help, the "White House" to help. What if you are boiling again?
And in the West, at the "close" villas, yachts, children and savings ... Who will be in your own native nuclear weapons to beat it?
Probably we’ll be a purely non-lethal weapon to drive out the enemy, preserving "our" property, and maybe we will always think of an "asymmetric" answer so that "both the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe." Sorry if too harsh.

[rocket757]

Everything is complicated, everything is simple!
We will save Our Motherland in any way. From external arrivals at exactly. And one should not hope that something slaughter will not fly in response, because the duty crew does not have anyone behind the hill and there is no other life purpose, how to save those who are here!
There, over the hill, they also know the identity, otherwise the mess of the 90s did not end b for us so "peacefully"!
All internal disassembly, our affairs and our special activity, perseverance will not show, fraught with everything for everyone!

Interestingly, by the way. If there is a Third World War, will it be a war of ideologies, or so, taking into account the "market" realities - for a barrel of "honey" (oil)?

[rocket757]

You can justify the help of Syria, which, however, the majority already understood!
As before, in the Land of Soviets, they justified and explained to us why we should go back and forth and help friendly people defend their interests ...... in general, it was hard to believe, sales in our countries were a little over 20, but there were justifications weighty!

They run the "deep government" and the new entente: the United States, small-british and "frogs" joined them. They will press to the end, vibrating "backlash".

Moreover, no matter what they say, they “don’t hear us, they don’t see and they don’t want to agree on anything”. In addition to the full "plum" of course ...
Why?
Yes, because, for them the words - "hearty and fat tomorrow" will not be! Everything, the limits of growth have been reached, “everything is divided in order to TRANSFER - war is required” (c) V.I. Lenin

War in such a situation - you need to push in the bud! And without "backlash". Tough and extremely cruel ...
And it was not worth it - "to miss two blows with axes" ...

Are you sure? You are apparently from those 66 percent allegedly. I've always said that many mishandled Cossacks are hiding behind the Soviet flag. And so it turned out.

Military support, this does not mean "regular troops." Why think and escalate something?

To them, 66% of adequate Russians understand that if the Fed owners are not stopped at distant approaches (and taking Ukraine into account right at the doorstep), then the death of their children and grandchildren in the Russian Federation will happen without options, and in addition, it will remain unanswered.

"Skoda" in 1938 produced more tanks than the entire British Empire. Having consumed the Czechs, Hitler doubled his military potential - without this he would not have a chance even against Poland!

Here is what the famous Russian philosopher of the beginning of the XX century V.V. Rozanov wrote about the step of Russian soldiers and Italians in his travel essays:
.... "The step of the Italian soldiers is completely different than the Russian. The Russian company does not go, but moves. The step is terribly heavy, that is, the foot is extremely firmly set on the ground (as in Catholic monks in Rome). The faces of our soldiers are serious , responsible. The oath suppressed him, but he also grew through the oath. The Russian soldier is vowed, loyal; what loyalty is vague, but even more so it is scary, thoughtful, responsible. "What loyalty is the commanders know; my fidelity is fidelity to the team. "..... If the Russian company can be killed, not smashed, that is, speaking generally and omitting particulars, then the Italian gives the impression that it cannot be broken, because it is much earlier it’ll run away. Of course, I’m mistaken and do not want to consciously slander, but the psychological and visual impression of them is just that. " ....

support.... this word can be understood differently. Have respondents understood this?

[helmi8]

"Should Russia support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the event of hostilities from the United States against the current Syrian government?"

In fact, Russia is not in Syria to support Assad, but to support the Syrian army in the fight against ISIS. And this issue implies Russia's participation in the US war against Syria ... (if it starts)

[Geosun]

Russia in Syria to maintain justice and the rule of law in the world, which the exceptional has constantly begun to trample on.

[iouris]

I agree with the majority. But only for this it is necessary to carry out revolutionary transformations within the Russian Federation.

[rotmistr60]

Sociological issues are tricky things, and therefore, if necessary, regulated. But the fact that most Russians understand that in Syria it is simply necessary to counter American aggression is a good sign. The liberals have already gotten their mantras about the immediate withdrawal from Syria. Moreover, some agreed to the point that we must leave, and the Americans must remain to maintain peace in this region.

No, polls are carried out on the street, as a rule, sociological students and others, I got into a similar poll three years ago and suggested filling out an anonymous questionnaire. So don’t dare.

[Cat Marquis]

Are sociological students taking polls on the street? Yes, Russia is not America, here they would have been put to the police for "street harassment" and "invasion of personal space" ..... "Freedom of personality" -type ... And where does the "sage"? We ourselves (the company) order such polls before our "invasion" (before the start of the project ) and the companies to which we order give us the result of the survey and a report in such documents, how else can they prove that they really did the survey, and they don’t want money, they require it, and besides, we include this survey and in his report on his activities to the county, etc.

I like to plant something in the garden, I like to take care of hopelessly not growing cucumbers or pumpkins, the process itself captivates. You can complain about the weather, bad seeds, lack of time and lack of farming skills, you can also live in anticipation of a miracle. But the fact remains: vegetables do not grow, but throwing them out, digging the ground again and planting obviously good seedlings is very pathetic and insulting. Something tells me that the percentage of "summer residents" in our country surprisingly coincides with the "affirmative" percent of opinion polls.

Well, that's right. Our citizens are smart and experienced in confrontations ... They perfectly understand the difference between situations where modesty can avoid war, and when it only brings it closer, when you need not to chew snot, but fight if the cynical enemy rushes ahead. Indeed, the main thing here is the real determination to fight, to defend one's honor, and not the fight itself. After all, if you can and is ready to easily kill an opponent in a fight, he will think a thousand times, he needs it, die like a mad dog ...

In our area, somehow, the statistical office set itself to find out the length of the reproductive organ from the relevant part of the population. The order for research was received by two respected offices specializing in this kind of activity. The results of the analysis of the results discouraged customers. Office "A" reported that the average size is 25,8 cm, and office "B" - 14,1 cm. It quickly became clear that this variation in results was caused by various methods for which the research was carried out. "A" conducted a telephone survey, and "B" physically measured the organs in place.

First of all, it's a fake, not a poll. And secondly, there is a personal observation .... A conflict was brewing between Moldova and Tiraspol. In the office where I worked, three more worked: two Ukrainians and one Russian. True patriots! How they "rallied" in conversations that these Moldovans need to be cut! In response to my question: "will you go to war if it starts?" , the answer is enthusiastic: "of course!". But when it really began, at the very beginning, in Dubosary, to defend the Russian language, from this office, I only ran across (my friend went and I followed him).
A case from there ... we occupied a plot, on a slope, against the Dniester, it was cool, somehow we froze. A day later, in the afternoon, the locals came and offered to change us until the evening, so that we would get warm, sleep off. Seven people (including myself) supported the idea, they say yes, it wasn’t bad. But the rest burned with "righteous" anger, such as "that bully is to us! They are afraid of chill, well, we are not Russians!, And so reproachfully, angrily looking at us. And at night, when it got colder so go nuts! The whole crowd of patriots-marginals got drunk ( and we all drank together), with the slogan “yes it’s .....”, stopped the bus and dumped in Tiraspol. And it was precisely those seven (engineers, technicians from production) who were calm, not screaming about the desire for war, yesterday wishing to sleep in the warmth, it was they who stayed for another day, until we were replaced.
So it’s worthless to those who screech about the desire to defend Grenada.

What Russia, in fact, has been doing over the past years. Assad, fighting for the interests of his country, is at the same time fighting with our enemy - of course, we must help him, and through this help to ourselves.

[andrej-shironov]

This only speaks of brainwashing of Russians. And nothing more. Given what information resources are involved in the dibilization of society. Apparently, these 66% support the war of the Russian oligarchs against the Western oligarchs. It was the same in front of 1 MV. Thoughtless patriotism went through the roof.

[ventel]

But what about patriotism in August 1914, as we said sausages and the Austrian will quickly win. But when you read where Gabriel Principle and the Mlada Bosna organization came from, then all the threads lead to the General Staff of Serbia where there was such an organization if the Black Hand does not fail the Serbian nationalist organization. And that in the end, RI is in ruins, and Serbia miraculously doubled.
