Your view is extremely myopic.
“We?” True - the US is a founding member of NATO and the largest single member, but the EU is 500 million people with and economy comparable to our own.
The other NATO countries (in total) contribute as much as we do, because they understand Putin’s regime is THE major threat to European stability today. Russia is also the main enemy of the US, after our other enemy: China.
And the aid? IT IS MOSLTY OBSOLETE. We literally use M-113 armored personnel carriers for: target practice and dumping in the ocean as reefs (google it).
The “Hawk” guided missile system? ITS FROM THE 1960s! We literally deployed the Hawk during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It’s completely obsolete.
But, the DOD is required to assign an artificial dollar-value to every single item we send, whether it makes sense or not.
Point is, the US is hardly “spending” the $$ one might think from the DOD reports alone.
Also: to replace the relatively small amount of modern weapons sent, who profits?
AMERICANS. American jobs are created, and American companies profit. YOUR retirement account profits.
Stop listening to that turncoat Tucker Carlson. He has obviously been compromised.
