Weren’t these same EU countries running a little smack not even a month or so ago and letting everyone know they’d have Ukraine’s back even if DJT didn’t?

Meanwhile badmouthing the US for scaling back when the US deficits are OVER 6.3 percent of GDP.

And the US contributes more to NATO preparedness than any other country.

And these weasels have the fortitude to get upset at the US for backing off Ukraine.

Doesn't Macron know if Putin isn't stopped in Ukraine, the Russians will be in Paris by Christmas!

The only people who ever believed that were useful idiots who actually believe Western propaganda media. The lie was directed specifically at Americans, so we would elect fools willing to destroy this country in a completely unnecessary war.

She never appealed to me, very overrated.

Oh the "pledged" billions of dollars, kind of like all those climate accord pledges that never materialized.

What a joke.

Ole cargo pants has his hands full now.

Speaking of Marie, I guess its time for cargo pants to say "Katy bar the door!".

France and England are basically the only legitimate military powers in Europe. If they lose France they don’t have many other places to turn.

So nothing compared to our 200 billion.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. The EU, of which France is a member has given a similar amount as the US. Asking how much France has contributed of that is like asking how much Michigan has. The 3,7 billion Euros is additional that France has recently directly contributed.

Additionally, the EU has spent about 131 billion Euros on Ukrainian refugees, so all-in-all more than the US.

It’s true, but it’s a problem that you can’t hide from because when there is shooting behind them they’re coming whether you like it or not.

I think it’s about 15% more than us.

This isn’t an argument about who spends more. It’s a correction of a poster who thought France’s contributions were less than 4 billion Euros.

Just checked: 450 million.

The EU has about 70,000,000 more people than the US.

Now let’s talk about how that EU aid is equal to what the US has contributed.

You are moving the goal posts. I responded to a poster who cited the 3.7 billion Euros France has contributed DIRECTLY since the Trump ascension, was no where near the $200 billion the US had contributed (per him).

1. Dollars versus Euros
2. Total for the war compared to recent contribution
3. Did not account for France’s indirect contributions through the EU.
4. The US hasn’t contributed $200 billion.

There is a myth that the EU is not doing nearly as much as the US for Ukraine. That is false. You can make per capita arguments all you want and it tips to the US if you don’t consider the cost of refugees, but it tips to the EU if you do consider them.

I don’t give a shite. We need to bring the war to a close. But the post I responded to was fake news, and I do give a shite about that.
