    Leaving Afghanistan in the first couple months was a good move, and the new war aligns sentiment with the Russophobic party.

      There's actually been a nearly 10 point drop in support for the Ukraine war since June (almost all of it going toward support for a negotiated peace). This is likely gas price drops and some relief from inflation, probably will drop again when the recession starts catching up with him.

        Right but most importantly, Ukraine makes people forget all about Afghanistan.

        The war in Ukraine is "okay, this country has been Invaded* and needs our financial and logistical help, but do we really have to?" The withdrawal from Afghanistan was a poignant national embarrassment.
