According to a feb 2026 survery only 47% of French people agree to continuing military support for Ukraine.
And according to the recent presidential elections polls, the parties that advocate for a prompt end of the war and cutting military support to Ukraine account for 55% of the total intentions of the vote.
Marine le Pen : 34%
Melenchon: 15%
Fabien Roussel: 2.4%
Nicolas Dupont Aingan: 2.3%
In short you must brace for the reality that sentiment towards continual military support is turning against Ukraine, and in times of financial hardships people tends to favor their immediate interests rather than a hypothetical future threat.
Maybe before calling people stupid get out of your confortable bubble and meet them where they are at:
According to the red cross, 11 million french people can’t feed themselves properly and are skipping meals.
The number of uni students relying on food banks to feed themselves is close to a majority
Unemployment among the youth is at records high, never have the youth been disenfranchised about their future
This year is the second year in a series where purchasing power keeps shrinking, and the government can’t subsidize salaries anymore
Because of the war in Ukraine, french defense spending is exploding and is expected to be double of that before the war, eating away from the budget that could otherwise be oriented to lifting salaries and improving social services
Tomorrow 17 Oct is the expected return of the Jillets Jaunes. Big Protests all over the country, with people of all walks of life to protest against the cost of living.
The list is way bigger and I know that most of your entitled opinions don’t care about the realities of other people’s lives. but your indignation won’t change the realities of people’s lives and them putting their interests first.
They do not think it is because of Ukraine, but the money France is spending on their defense and Ukraine could be spent on other things. If you feel that everything gets worse in your country while the leaders spend more and more on a foreign country, then the easy option is to support someone who wants to reduce that cost. In best case those billions can be used to help the French.
I do not agree with that, I think Europe should spend more money to help Ukraine, but I can see why some people are thinking like that.
So all of this is somehow Ukraine’s fault? Yeah no they’re just stupid. Keep acting like letting Russia control 20% of the world’s grain supply will somehow make your life better, idiot.
When you have no counter arguments you resort to distorting my points. I didn’t say it’s ukraine’s fault. Like I said you sure are not struggling, if your most important concern is who is in control of the world’s 20% grain supply. Let’s ask those people about who should be in control of that supply and see if it is one of the concerns as well.

Man this is unbelievably stupid. Imagine actively looking to help an openly hostile country only a few hundred miles away.
