Yes. Who’s “us?” The US is ponying the $40B. It’s chump change to the folks spending US taxpayer money, I guess, but not to me.
If Russia is the world’s problem, it’d be a refreshing change if the rest of the world took the lead in solving it. I don’t see any states stepping up. Not without committing the US front and center, too.
The US alone spent trillions further into debt in a fruitless effort to stop Covid. And we were in staggering debt before that for other reasons. I don’t trust our leadership to spend $40B in “chump change” (that we don’t really have) to arm anyone without graft, mismanagement, and waste.
Seriously: That's your beef?
Yeah, in a perfect world, scores of other countries would join us in ponying up the dough to fund Ukraine's dismantling of the Russian War Machine.
I don't quite know how to characterize your faulty argument: Is it the "Tu Quoque" Fallacy, or the "Demand for Perfection" Fallacy?
Yeah: Let's sit here idly, with hands folded in our laps, because not every d*mn govt. on the d*mn planet is chipping in to support the Ukrainians! /sarcasm
