[Nah. Europe has had more than 50 years.
They have a union of 26 countries.
This is their task.
We are not their financed and military outsource.
Cut the umbilical cord on these welfare queens!
It’s time for them to stand on their own feet.]
Relative to today’s economy, we spent the equivalent of $44T in WWII. I think of $40b as a small price to pay.
Ultimately, Russia is an 11 time zone country. I completely understand Germany wanting lebensraum, It used to be half the size of Ukraine and 1/50 the size of Russia. For Russia to want lebensraum? If Russia isn’t big enough today, it will *never* be big enough. Russia’s limitless territorial ambitions combined with its massive expanse and a regime structured for war are what make it dangerous.
Then let Europe pay it.
Until we break even, body count-wise (and the Russians are 60K short), we should supply Ukraine just to even out the cosmic balance.
It can be Europe getting "even". We shouldn't give them another penny. Europe should.
Russia’s limitless territorial ambitions combined with its massive expanse and a regime structured for war are what make it dangerous.
I believe this is almost completely a propaganda narrative of the West in order to have an enemy.
That said, if there is a chance it is true, time for Europe to step up.
