[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I support Ukraine and I’m happy that we’re giving them some money and supplies, and frankly I think we should probably just let them use our weapons to strike all military targets in Russia no matter how “deep” they are, but can someone please explain to me why we’re giving more $$$ than countries like Germany and France who are much closer? We’re on the other side of the world and I doubt the leaders in Europe are giving much to support Latin American countries like we do. Like I said, I’m happy to give some, but I feel like what we give should be (in absolute terms) far less than what countries in Europe are giving. And yes if that means European countries need to scale back their social welfare programs or other domestic spending in order to pay for it or go into debt then that’s what they should do. There should be more responsibility to look after the situation in your own backyard. We’re not the blank check for the entire world, especially when our government is increasing our already insanely high debt in order to pay for it.[/quote]

We pay for it because we're the only ones that want this war. [b]Everyone else wanted business as usual with Russia to come back [/b]ASAP. So much so that we, er someone, had to blow those pipes to Germany to keep them from getting any ideas. Whatever European enthusiasm for the war there was, has largely burnt out.

Ukraine is pretty much out of men now anyway, so it doesn't really matter what we send them.[/quote]

An obscure example in support of that: at a recently wrapped up Global Book Exhibition and Fair in Frankfurt, Russia could no longer participate as an official delegation, yet they sent one general interest publishing house, and three children literature ones, and all were booked solid with agent meetings and negotiations all day long.  Because business is ready to do business just as soon as it can.

A friend working for a pharmaceutical company told me that their German branch is still doing business with Russia, they just don’t publicize it. [/quote]
