@kevcvs57 saidyou or rajk didnt reads my link...no other country comes close to US providing military support
Europe and the uk have pretty well matched the us in funding and arms, the us was the largest single contributor but by no means the only contributor.
The European Union just arranged 50 billion over the next four years and the UK another 2.5 billion. Get over yourself son, you were asked to do your bit and your whelching on a promise to have Ukraines back as long as it takes, that kind of unreliability will be remembered.

@mott-the-hoople saidWell, its either Russia or the USA. Pick one. The UN is a failure. China is going to be the world police as well, only because the USA has weakened. So if the USA continues to weaken the fight is going to be Russia v China. Ask me why this is important if you dont know.
you think the US should be the world police?
@earl-of-trumps saidPalestinians already get $1B US is foreign aid and it is not used for the benefit of the people. Clearly the Palesinians are not a people that can manage themselves. They need someone to overlook their decisions and their finances.
@Phranny
My opinion:
Ukraine - support, to a degree, yes.
Taiwan - Support. We have long ago pledged that we would defend them
Israel - we should divorce Israel, it's a terrorist state.
Palestinians (not Hamas) in Gaza - agreed, support them.
The US will never divorce Israel.

@mott-the-hoople saidRussia is communist, and Ukraine does not want communism. Right now in my area Venezuela [a failed communist state [the word failed is redundant]], is trying to annex part of Guyana. Thankfully the US and Guyana are allies and Maduro [that moron], backed off when US warships showed up next to Guyana. He is now trying to get Russia to help but they have their hands full at the moment.

I personally am thankful that US is militarily ruling the world. You as a US citizen wont like that, and can understand why.

@divegeester
So you figure we can take Trump's idea, put a 3000 mile wide glass dome over the entire US and give the middle finger salute to the rest of the world?
It doesn't work like that as much as you might want it to.
Like the ultrarightwingnuts in the House not wanting to even LOOK at the border bill, a bipartisan bill cooked up by Biden and republicans in the Senate but Trump tells, I mean LITERALLY tells the squeaker of the house Johnson to kill the bill and Mikey being a nice tame Magite, falls over and plays dead, THAT BILL WILL BE IN THE TRASH.
So much for being an actual leader.

@mott-the-hoople saidDon’t need to read it dummy but then no other country has a 300 million people tax base or a military industrial complex anything like the size of the US which has in order to be a super power and lead the ‘free’ world.

Read my post again you’ll find I agreed with your premise but you need to look at the EU as a country for the purposes of this equation and they’ve stepped up with 50 million to your zero. Ukraine funding isn’t going to stop because a few pro Putin crazies have control if the US purse strings. With the US getting out if Europe we will figure out a way to defend ourselves
You know we ran the world once nothing to say we can’t do it again now that the US empire is imploding into a fractious grouping of warring principalities / states
