Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met with U.S. lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to make a last-ditch plea to keep military support flowing as he battles Russia, but faced a skeptical reception from some Republicans.
The thing is, the US is just so fucking big and it also has the biggest military industrial complex by far, so who else should do it? Proportional to GDP, it’s not that much.
Also, in the past, other nations have contributed to America’s wars. Japan paid something like 10 billion USD to the US for the Gulf War in 1991, which I think was around 20% of the total cost.
I didn’t say we are the only ones, i said we are alwsys expected to throw money and equipment at any of the EU’s little scares, while being shit on the rest of the time.
But it isn’t? Many countries are supporting Ukraine, and there are more ways than shipping weapons there to do it.
