Most of my colleagues at my institution in Western MA are center-right to far right, not what you would call Putinversteher. Enthusiasm for a war with US involvement is completely absent. That's just observations, but at some point anecdotes turn into data.

A dozen or so miles east of you, I’ve been observing ubiquitous support for Ukraine—but that doesn’t necessarily translate to support for direct engagement with Russia. The people with whom I interact seem to acknowledge that our direct involvement may become necessary, but are concerned about Russia’s reaction if our troops are visibly present in significant numbers.

So a itsy bitsy tiny little corner of the US from which you have extrapolated anecdotal observations into data.
