I haven't really noticed recently, but I was not paying attention to this board in 2021.

I really only lurked the recruiting board and scoreboard before 2023 when I decided I couldn't keep quiet and finally made an account.

When the most important issue to you as an American for years is giving Ukraine taxpayer money, are you really a great American?

I think if you think Stopping Russia is good for the USA, then it might make sense.

It makes a lot of sense. Then again give all trade with Europe to Russia and China is what the politards want, which eventually chokes off the USA globally

I've been trying to preach this, making America greater means making Americans better off, America more powerful, and our nation stronger.

Many people seem to have interpreted make America great again as isolationism, a shrinking economy, and getting sanctioned by world trade.

To no small part do I blame people like JB preaching America shouldn't interfere in the world, while he celebrated every time China or Russia acted aggressively.

Months of that definitely affected some people.

United States – will launch a new mechanism together with NATO that allows European countries to purchase American weapons for Ukraine. European partners have already expressed readiness to contribute funding. Germany will join the initiative by transferring 5 Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine.

Germany – will provide over 200,000 rounds of ammunition for Gepard systems and finance the procurement of Ukrainian long-range drones.

Canada – will continue financing Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex through the “Danish model” and is allocating 20 million Canadian dollars for the maintenance of Ukrainian tanks.

Netherlands – will provide €200 million for interceptor drones and €125 million for F-16 aircraft maintenance.

Norway – will allocate a total of €1 billion in 2025 for drone procurement, including €400 million specifically for purchasing drones from the Ukrainian defense industry.

Sweden – is preparing a new aid package including air defense systems, artillery, and military equipment.

Two points here -

The Norwegians now officially have more money than God; and

The French and Italians have their own MIC to support, so will be doing that with direct weapon supply rather than purchasing from the US. Between the billions from Norway and Russia (thanks Vlad!), there will be plentry for the US. Besides, Europe needs to also develop their MIC as well. Everyone except Russian trolls recognize that.

Europe shutdown refineries starting over a decade ago to import refined products from Russia instead. ConocoPhillips has a residual hydrocracker in a laydown yard in Westlake which was to be installed in a refinery it purchased in Germany. All made in Italy (we haven't made those high pressure reactors here for decades now)
