"people who thought Ukraine was located in Latin America or Australia were the most enthusiastic about using military force there"
How does that happen? I can see a shoddily educated person mixing it up with a neighboring country, but to not even realize that it's in Eastern Europe?
I can't remember seeing a poll presented in this format, but it'd be interesting to see results for any political question presented as a graph against a score in a relevant knowledge test.
- codesushi42 7y agoNot surprising and completely believable. Anecdotal, but the nightly news had a segment where they went into an inner city highschool and none of the students knew Poland was a real country.

- panzermacht 7y agoI'm even more impressed they would think it's in Australia. I can see not having any idea where it would be but to believe it's inside a relatively famous and we'll known country?
