Your analysis of what Ukraine did simply is incorrect.
During this time period Ukraine built up a very professional armed force. That was evidenced by their initial ability to stop the Russian invasion and their continuing ability to fight Russia for more than 2 years.
Many of those here who oppose Ukraine aid go on with a narrative that Ukraine used an earlier ceasefire to build up its forces.
It’s shameful to see people here act like ugly Americans when that country is being destroyed and it’s people dying in battle, and we sit on our couches and make comments about how they haven’t done much.
The EU never cared to meet simple NATO defense targets, favoring Muslim immigration and anti-Global Warming spending, instead. Oh, and they openly hated the US and, later, Trump.
Let the EU be taken over by Putin. We've saved them twice already, and they don't give a dang.
At some point, you have to wise up that the patient really, really, really doesn't want to be saved or to grow up.
Because people prefer to spend money we don’t have on our own southern border in lieu of blindly supporting a nasty, persistent little dictator who won’t allow free elections is not a reason to call them “Ugly Americans.”
Those “Ugly Americans” of whom you speak are the ones here at FR jubilantly lauding, celebrating only the Russian side of the carnage and death ongoing there.
“It’s shameful to see people here act like ugly Americans when that country is being destroyed and it’s people dying in battle, and we sit on our couches and make comments about how they haven’t done much.”
Why is it our obligation? Why don’t you do something besides bitching at us and go and fight?
