[quote=Anonymous]The idea that if you're opposed to funding the Ukraine war, you must be pro-Russia, is ridiculous and is an obvious attempt to avoid serious discussion.

Ukraine isn't a European nation, and in Europe, Ukraine is regarded as corrupt and scammy.  Support for sending money to support the Ukraine war was weak from the outset, and now as Europeans are seeing direct hits to their pocketbook, their support is wearing thinner still. If America looks like the primary beneficiary of this war (and arguably we are, because we are able to have a proxy war against our biggest threat on the cheap), it it going to strain our alliances.

We haven't articulated any goals with regard to the war, and have said its up to Ukraine to have goals. Okay, but then don't be shocked when a lot of people struggle to understand why they are paying for Ukraines war, when we haven't made a case to the American people as to why this is worth their money.

The reflexive "your a Russia lover!" response to anyone who dares ask any questions about funding this will probably work in the US, where voters have largely been cowed into submission. But we do need to consider the impacts to our relationship with an increasingly right-leaning Europe, who thinks that their money is being used largely to fund Ukranian oligarchs' personal lives.
