Does the current US government care about that "majority"'s opinion?
Has it ever?
Iraq, Vietnam, Korea - all deeply unpopular wars. Both parties endorsed them, though, so popular opinion didn't matter.
Will anyone in the next election cycle pay a price for supporting land concessions in Ukraine? I'm not holding my breath after the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" contingent got done crushing the anti-Genocide voting block.
They were popular wars right until the population came face to face with the hardship and expense of them. Most Americans were in favor of invasion, same in Vietnam.
Americans already overwhelmingly oppose an invasion of Venezuela. It will be interesting to see if that's enough to prevent it.
