Well I guess Yevgeny Prigozhin did Ukraine a solid (in his own special way). Here is a new Reuters poll showing a bump in the polls for supporting Ukraine.

Most Americans support US arming Ukraine, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows

And I mean like a 20 point bump.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - Solid majorities of Americans support providing weaponry to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia and believe that such aid demonstrates to China and other U.S. rivals a will to protect U.S. interests and allies, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey. The two-day poll that was concluded on Tuesday charted a sharp rise in backing for arming Ukraine, with 65% of the respondents approving of the shipments compared with 46% in a May poll.

And it’s majorities across the board

Eighty-one percent of Democrats, 56% of Republicans and 57% of independents favor supplying U.S. weapons to Ukraine, according to the latest poll. The survey was conducted just days after Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the private Wagner mercenary company, launched and then called off a mutiny over what he charged was the Russian defense ministry's mishandling of the war in Ukraine.

You know you just have to soak it all in that Biden took the role of the strong confident leader while Putin ran away to St. Petersburg.

The findings appeared to provide firmer backing for U.S. President Joe Biden's policy of doing "whatever it takes" to assist Ukraine in recapturing territory that Russia seized in an initial assault in 2014 and its full-scale invasion 16 months ago. "This definitely reinforces Biden's decision to be all-in on this," said William Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine now with the U.S. Institute of Peace.

And for everyone’s enjoyment in the tradition of parodies of Hitler clips in the movie Downfall here is THE BEST Summation of last weekend’s events.

This is Absolutely Hilarious.
