While it is true that the EU provides more financial support than the US, the US provides most of the military aid that helped the country withstand and slow down the Russian advance. The EU is powerful as an economic block, but they don’t have a unified army, they depend on American weaponry (with the exception of France), and I don’t see much political will to keep arming Ukraine if the US pulls out completely or if the Trump administration pauses sanctions.
It seems to me that Trump simply cannot get over Zelensky not ‘helping’ him to find something nefarious about Biden’s son during his first administration and now POTUS is first provoking him and then, when Zelensky send a diplomatically worded answer, POTUS overreacts and insults, like he got the excuse he was looking for. So vindictive and victim blaming.
This is not the America I was taught about.
I’ve never seen a country destroy it’s credibility with allies so fast in such a short notice. Putin is sure having a good time watching all this.
I’ve heard most US senators are pro Ukraine, but I don’t see any of them confronting Trump. GOP belongs to MAGA now.
Unless democrats win the midterms in 2026 he’s going to have 4 years of trifecta. I don’t see how Ukraine can survive 4 more years of onslaught only with European help and no boots on the ground.
Does Ukraine have any chance?
Why are you on a Marxist Leninist instance promoting Russian fascist imperialism? That’s an odd position to take.
I’m not? Also lemmy.ml isn’t an instance about any of that.
You are claiming Ukraine isn’t independent and will just have a different master which is a very pro-Kremlin POV.
.ml- Marxist Leninism
So back to my question about why you would support this…
Are you arguing that doing everything the US wants, to the point of signing away 50% of every cent made from your natural resources, some sort of freedom? The fact of the matter is that neutrality suited the people of Ukraine very well, but not NATO.
it suited them until they were invaded by Russia. Ukraine is independent and should be in NATO
They weren’t independent since 2014
And now we are back to asking why you are pushing Kremlin talking points.
The Euromaidan was a coup orchestrated by the west, it’snot a matter of opinion, you just think it was a good thing.
No, the West aided Ukrainians who allied with the west. It isn’t as if no one wanted tomove away from Russian influence/criminality.
You are literally justifying an imperialistic invasion for reasons I cannot comprehend.
Because if Russia rules Ukraine that’s good…
If Ukraine joins EU, that’s bad.
USSR was the orginal European Union except it used a tank barrel to recruit nee members.
