Honest question from someone who wants to see Ukraine not be overrun by orcs: Why is the US always the one who has to fund wars? There are some countries in the EU that have given a bit of suport, but the guys who are across the ocean seem to be the ones everyone looks to for money. Aren’t you clever enlightened boys and girls from the European Union able to take care of this?
Every single time there is some conflict the idiots in charge here have to get big hard-ons and start getting involved. And we are told to stay out of it. But now Ukraine needs money and for some reason everyone focuses on the US providing it. Same with Israel, why are we the ones who have to prop them up?
I’d really like to know. Everyone hates the US until they want money or weapons. We aren’t the ones next door to russia, the EU is. And we aren’t anywhere near the middle east, so why are we wasting so much money on israel?
USA has to respect the nuclear arms treaty… Ukraine was promised protection in return for giving up nuclear weapons.
Is the EU bound by any such treaty?
Treaties aside, my issue is that it’s always the US that everyone begs money from in these situations. We get shit on constantly for a bunch of reasons, some valid, but when someone comes along and starts making threats the question is always “What will the US do about this?”
Have you checked how many military bases the USA has in other countries? The USA doesn’t give money for nothing. They have military presence in every timezone/hemisphere.
It’s because the US wants to preserve it’s empire. So they need to project power all over the world.
