The reality is that what majority of people in US want has absolutely no effect on what the government does as a study analyzing decades of US policy clearly showed:

What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

What makes these news stories relevant is that they're an indicator of where the ruling class is planning to take things, and it's pretty clear that the narrative is being shaped for US to pull out of the proxy war with Russia.
