Observation: Q: Does EU's redistribution of fighter jets, tanks, missiles etc leave them vulnerable in the short term to Russian aggression on their soil & if that occurs will TrumpAmericaCorp. come to their aid as NATO if attacked? Asking, because of Trumps past comments.— Kat Barclay (@KatBarclay2) February 16, 2025
"The real numbers are likely higher, as many countries were not open about their deliveries as the US was" This is true, because for example Finland has never made public announcements of anything. Trump is full of lies with his numbers.— Saga 🇫🇮🌻🇺🇦💪🏴☠️ (@puckfutler) February 16, 2025
UK a leading partner in providing vital support to Ukraine. In total, the UK has committed £12.8 billion for Ukraine: £7.8 billion in military support. £5 billion in non-military support.31 Jan 2025. The UK is not the EU remember monies from 27 member state countries contributed— Troy Duggan (@duggan6551) February 16, 2025
How does it look when adjusted for the EU-Russian energy trade that fuels Russia's economy? Quick check shows US imported from Russia a total of $14 billion in 2022, compared to the EU's >$190 billion.— Big_Zukini🎗️🥜🇮🇱🇺🇦 (@ArielZuk1) February 16, 2025
Faced with these numbers, the American claims on Ukrainian mining resources are not only a short -sighted request for compensation, but they are the blackmail put in place by unworthy robbers— Marco Cardinaletti (@MarcoCardinale6) February 16, 2025
Beside the Americans gave the weapons and ammo otherwise became obsolete and had to be destroyed and replaced anyway. It has already been paid for by normal budget. So a lot of money sent was just the write-off of what they once spent. But it looks tough on paper.— The Duke of URL (@UrlDukeNL) February 16, 2025
"compared to Europeans" The EU has a nominal GDP that is very similar to the US. It should be able to defend itself without US support.— Nunya Bizness (@AuntNunyaBidnes) February 16, 2025
More than that. Almost all money from EU went to Ucrânia whIle almost all the money from the US remained in the US factories— Angelo Oliveira (@amoliveira1959) February 16, 2025
Great. But I think that USA has also given just humanitarian- and direct aid(cash) to Ukrainian budget some 20 billion. Maybe more.— Stefu🇫🇮🇸🇪🇪🇪🇺🇦🇮🇱🐒 (@Stefu60) February 16, 2025
EU nations COMBINED vs US. The US ALONE has far exceeded what any one nation has contributed thus putting the US on the brink of insolvency.— AlKiMoSn (@alkimosn) February 16, 2025
US will not provide help if Ukraine doesn't agree to give at least 50% of it's natural sources to US and agrees that Russia keeps the annexed territories.

There is a belief on the left that free speech is dangerous, and if there is too much of it—and it’s not controlled by the right people—everything will run tragically off the rails. That’s how we get media organizations that support censorship.— Jonathan Rolfe (@JonathanAKRolfe) February 16, 2025
Marco Rubio is speaking truth to power, correcting Margaret Brennan's misinformed claim that the Holocaust happened because of too much free speech.

It was not free speech. It was illegal to argue against Hitler's ideals. It was agree and obey or else. Which is what you're experiencing in EU now.— TerraQuattuor (@Terra_Quattuor) February 16, 2025
The only way to describe the US policy towards Ukraine right now is predatory. Twisting Ukraine's hand like this, especially with a surprise "deal", is basically extortion. https://t.co/a948qdvH63— John Helin (@J_JHelin) February 16, 2025
