Nine charts illustrate the extraordinary level of support the United States has provided Ukraine in its war against Russian invaders.

300 billion a week?
USA has given 80 billion in one year.
With it they are demolishing the “near pear” adversary russia for a meagre 10% of USA yearly defence budget…..(800 billion)
An absolute bargain for USA interests.
Based on percentage GDP, USA is like the 9th donor country. Eastern europe helping relatively more…without taking account the spending on millions of ukranian refugees…if we add that then USA is probably the number 15th donor.
nonsence. America likes its bases in europe for USA control and its own power projection first and foremost.
Bases in Europe have always aided American hegemony more than local defense.

now if america loves dumping tens of thousands of troops and bases on your soil…its understandable europe doesnt want to overspend on defence next to that.
USA can however simply set a plan to leave in x years and the industrial powerhouse germany could easily manage
America likes to project power from UK soil….it is not going to abandon its bases…
It is also still in Iraq for instance.
America loves to spend on military..and packing up bases is also not going to reduce spending.
Divide and conquer.
Maybe the MAGA red states should form their own country?
