You don’t say 🙄

[Kazan]

Then, the EU should tell Ukraine to take any deal it can get to end the war.

There is no scenario where US taxpayers will tolerate anymore money spent on a war that has absolutely nothing to do with our national security.

[kiryandil]

Stunning and brave Kaja Kallas.

[cuban leaf]

That’s a bit like my brother in law telling me he can’t shoulder his son’s corvette payments on his own.

[Jonty30]

If you cant handle the war, why dud you foment the war?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

When we were there keeping Europe from indulging in their favorite sport of war against other European states they whine and cried about it.

Now they want us involved again.

You know what? No.

Tired of it.

Europe doesn’t have to fund the whole thing, just do their fair share.

[Paladin2]

The Eeee Yew needs to fix its own local problems.

Europe doesn’t have to fund the whole thing, just do their fair share.

The Cold War is over. Europe should fund for the entire defense of Ukraine. If they are unwilling or not capable of doing so, then Russia should conquer Ukraine.

I'm pro-Ukraine. But at the same time, it's not 100% our problem.

[TigersEye]

If NATO countries won’t stop buying Russian oil and gas they should cease to be NATO countries.

Suck it, Euroweenies!

[jacknhoo]

It would be more valid to state the United States fomented this war, rather than claimed to be able to end it.

Like it or not, this is all our nation’s doing.

That’s a bit like my brother in law telling me he can’t shoulder his son’s corvette payments on his own.

It's like what that Polish guy said: a continent of 500 million people needs a country of 350 million people to protect them from a country of 150 million people. Hard no, we've had enough.

[Brian Griffin]

Germany with a little help from Italy, Hungary and Finland took on the entire CCCP in 1941.

Where is the Fourth Reich’s fighting spirit?

[A strike]

It’s not our problem beotch..

[Freee-dame]

Maybe not all, but definitely largely. Biden said something like …. a small incursion would be OK. Shortly before the Russian invasion, Kamala went to Europe and, at a summit, alluded to Ukraine possibly becoming a NATO member.

[SkyDancer]

Seeings how we’ve been supporting them the past years W/o Europe.

[dforest]

This turd should quit trying to pick a bigger war then. So sick of this stupid war crap.

EU/UK have big boasting mouths and they always threaten everyone and expect the US to do the big fight for them.

Hell with that.

[dforest]

Yes they do. We are no longer paying for it.

[BradyLS]

C’mon, Europe, you can do it! Ya got the bund back together, you’re on the ‘42-yard line, and America’s out of the war!
