Trump better start planning where he will put those troop stationed over sea. The Korea, Japan, Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, etc are doing the same as the Europeans.
We are done as a world power. Brought to our knees by a third world country with a GPD equal to 7% of the US.

Because Zelensky's presidential power ended in the spring of 2024 and no one is taking him seriously anymore.
Meanwhile Putin has been in power for like a decade.
Yes, after he was re-elected. Why is there an issue to run and re-elect Zelensky in Ukraine? By the way, US had to choose between two dictator to help in the WW2 - Stalin or Hitler. They chose to help Stalin to stop the war. Same thing is here. In choosing between two dictators, Putin and Zelensky, US chose to help Putin in order to stop the war.
How dumb can someone be? Putin won elections that were uncontested and rugged in this favor. There are many countries with dictators that have elections, and the dictator always wins by default.
Moreover, seriously? Comparing Hitler to Stalin? What a low IQ statement. Hitler was the aggressor and attacking all of Europe. The Soviets were simply defending themselves. The US did not help the Soviet union per say, but the Allies, which the USSR was a part of.
And Zelensky is NOT a dictator. Are we actually rewriting history here?

Shhhh maga loves Putin. Trump will soon get the same election results. I can see Fox News propagandists crying for joy as their dear leader gets 92% of the reported vote and all the other candidates are arrested.

Pay back the billions that went into Americans' pockets?
In reality, only a small percentage of the overall aid package takes the form of cash transfers to Kyiv; the vast majority goes right back into the U.S. economy through several federal government mechanisms.
One of the main mechanisms through which the U.S. provides security assistance to Ukraine is the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI)—a funding program led by the Department of Defense. Aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s armed forces, USAI provides funds for training and advising of Ukrainian military personnel, as well as for procurement of weapons. Nearly $32 billion has been allocated to USAI in three years of Russia’s all-out war.
The State Department’s Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program is a similar tool, yet its focus is not only on Ukraine but, rather, U.S. foreign policy goals more broadly. FMF helps American allies like Ukraine buy weapons specifically from U.S. manufacturers, supporting U.S. international interests and its military-industrial complex. FMF funding is not transferred to the recipient and is executed by American government agencies. Congress has allocated roughly $6.3 billion to this program for Ukraine security purposes since 2022.
And then there is the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the president to authorize the provision of weapons or services from Defense Department stockpiles to partners. This mechanism provides almost immediate help to allies in emergencies, with assistance sometimes arriving within days of presidential approval. Between August 2021 and April 2024, the State Department used PDA 44 times, providing Ukraine with military assistance worth $23.8 billion.

Same thing happens in Israel.
Stop talking about Israel. Start your own thread. This is about Ukraine.
