What are we supposed to do, let Putin occupy Ukraine?

No but at the same time we shouldn't give Ukraine a blank check. If the EU wants to continue to support Ukraine, then they need to do that. We don't have to take the lead.

It's worth remembering that in every US war since WWII, the US contributed at least 90% of the troops, equipment & money.
In Ukraine we contribute no troops -- zero, nada, zilch boots on the ground -- and only about 50% of the equipment & money.

It's true that Europeans should step up and contribute more, but we are already substantially reduced below levels of US contributions in historical context.
