which i regularly do. Especially towards USA who is drip feeding support while it has thousands of army stock sitting in deserts.
Why are you so defensive of fair constructive criticism towards France?
Germany was extremely pacifistic and budgetted away most of its army. However It gives twice as much per GDP as France (which actually still had a decent army).
France is a laggard in the european list of supporters.
Why? To maintain fall-back relations with russia?
Would be too unpopular with french voters?
Not to stir the pot, though I used to read the Kyiv Independent on twitter and elsewhere, and the hatred shown to the Germans by the English-speakers (mainly the Anglos or Poles) was sickening. Germans were blamed and hated for not handing over their entire military stockpile to Ukraine while US and UK sit safely away from the war sitting on huge stockpiles of weapons.
Back when the American public supported helping Ukraine, US weapons were given rarely quickly and not in enough numbers to turn the tide of war. Never enough to finish off the Russians in Ukraine. As Ukraine stalls because not enough help was given, American support dwindles. The US media which I complained about for months, refused to do sob stories about the suffering of Ukrainians as various Ukrainian independent media does. I go instead to media that gives the full picture of events in Ukraine. Those that show kids having to do physical therapy because they lost legs. Those that show stories of families suffering from lost loved ones. These media stories with interviews should have been on MSNBC, CNN and other US media outlets. A new daily interview from suffering Ukrainians - raped, dismembered, family members that lost children asking for more aid to fight the Russians. The US media had American support for Ukraine at the beginning of the war and deliberately watched it dwindle to only a minority of Americans support sending aid to Ukraine.
A CNN poll released earlier this summer charted growing Republican opposition to aid in Ukraine, and found 55% of the full public opposed to Congress authorizing more funding to support Ukraine, rising to 71% among Republicans. A majority of the public overall did favor some specific forms of aid, such as help with intelligence gathering (63% support) and military training (53% support).
Polling from other organizations this fall has confirmed this shift.
for instance, CNN, literally the worst of the worst media in the US because CNN pretends to be liberal and caring, gave the anti-Ukraine version of statistics of US aid sent to Ukraine.
$113 billion: Where the US investment in Ukraine aid has gone
Newsweek fact checked the numbers and found it needed significant context (a whole article) because it is misleading:
Fact Check: Is RFK Jr. Right That U.S. Has Sent $113 Billion to Ukraine?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president, complained on NewsNation about U.S. spending on Ukraine.
www.newsweek.com
From the CNN article you could get the idea that the US is wasting too much money on Ukraine, as Republicans are saying 113 billion is too much. While Newsweek says the US is not giving as much to Ukraine as the anti-Ukraine crowd says Ukraine is getting.
To get the public to support the Persian Gulf War, CNN gave the fake news of incubator babies. To get public support of the Iraq War, CNN
"flooded the airwaves with generals and ex-Pentagon stoolies"
Had there been daily Iraqi sob stories from Iraqis suffering from Saddam, the US media would have flooded the airwaves with these sob stories to get public support for the Iraq War, the media accepted an invented story for the Persian Gulf War.
16 Years Later, How the Press That Sold the Iraq War Got Away With It
In an excerpt from his new book 'Hate Inc.,' Matt Taibbi looks back at how the media built new lies to cover their early ones

Notice how Republican "isolationists" want a conflict to stop the rise of nuclear armed China. Cheering for a Taiwan incident. Yet sending weapons to defend Europe - these anti-Ukraine Russia-bots turn into instant "pacifists". Republicans are frauds.
Unnecessary wars staged by deepstate cronies - CNN is partly a cheerleader in the wars Washington wants to be involved in. For a war with China, Fox News and the US media are going to beat the war drums to get the population in lock-step obedient to MAGA Republicans wanting a war with nuclear China. "Can't have conflict with Russia. they have nukes. Can have conflict with China, they have nukes". Does not make sense unless there is an agenda.
For the War on Europe, the war threatening NATO Europe... no daily sob stories from interviewed Ukrainian victims of the war begging Americans for more help to defend their country. And that is only what it takes to get the American public support for Ukraine, and the US media deliberately denies that to the public. Not one media outlet doing this. Though NBC gives domestic terrorist insurrectionist Trump a platform to spew lies:
This is the same media that says "don't bar Trump from office for supporting/leading an insurrection". During the entire American civil war the confederates never captured the Capitol building,
Trumpers trying to steal an election did take over the Capitol Building, to overturn an election. That is a coup,
that is an insurrection, and the liberal media says, don't go after Trump on that obvious way to stop Trump via the 14th Amendment. The cia US media, cia controlled Democrats and Kissinger-run Trump are in on it together. This is why Ukraine is never given enough weapons to crush the Russians. Biden is blackmailed by the US cia Anglo-Republican deepstate.
The US media is unwatchable because the "liberal media" pretend to be on your side, then does things deliberately to make your side look bad to Americans. For instance,
promoting castration to kids with trans stuff. Yet the media did not demand Obama to grant amnesty and citizenship to illegals in 2009 to give Democrats near super majority of voters in every election. Nor did the "liberal media" demand Puerto Rico and DC statehood to give Democrats more senators. Though they sure did defend castration being promoted to kids to make the left look bad to moderates. The liberal media are cia handlers to the left to manage the left and to elect cia Republicans, that is as clear as day. The whole news cycle is there to wane support of Ukraine and expand support of Trump and Republicans.
Europe needs to rearm because a majority of Americans don't want to send more aid to Ukraine. Trump plans to return. And the media does little to boost support for Ukraine, Europe, or really stopping Trump. MAGA Trumpers hate Olbermann, take a listen to Olbermann once in a while to learn about American politics:

Former Primetime political commentator Olbermann is unorthodox and a realist.
Republicans are taught because liberals teach castration to kids, Ukrainians must lose. Because Mexicans are crossing the border, Ukrainians must lose. Because of wokeness... Ukrainians must lose. Republicans are the victims, while Ukrainians should sue for peace.
The conservatives are sold fake victimhood. It is how Republicans maintain a voting population, maintain political control. Without the fake victimhood of Republicans, Anglo-Republicans collapse.

While tankies and fake anti imperialists are taught because of the Bush wars... Ukrainians must lose.
Absolute hypocrisy where the life of 1 palestinian counts more then thousands of ukranians?
The tankies and fake anti-imperialists have turned into those they supposedly dislike - Rabbi Yaacov Perrin: "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail."
"One million Ukrainians are not worth an Arab Palestinian fingernail."
It is only going to get worse for Europe. Europe needs self-sufficiency and self-reliance for economic, military, societal and political affairs.
The psy-ops from both sides are going to be layered. The Ukraine War has switched to getting Europe on the side of Trump, as Trump imposes a Russia style autocracy in the USA. If Europe accepts Trump and
does not complain, perhaps Europe would have
limited mob boss protection from Trump from
fellow mob boss Putin. Remember how much of the globe was prey to imperialist nations many decades ago. That is Europe's fate to be prey to Washington, London, Moscow or Beijing if Europe does not wise up.
Europe is to be deminished, that is the role the tankies and anti-imperialists play, to belittle Europe as a place of "evil whitey".
While the EU knows its lowly place.
Trump wants the BRICS to challenge Europe, while offering mob boss protection to Europe, to know your place as a junior partner.
In a way, MAGA, if you want to drill down, is about re-creating America's golden age."
MAGA is the final stage of PNAC. As in the Bush PNAC cia wars.
you point a finger yet four fingers are pointing back at yourself.
Hypocrite.
Maybe you recall the tankies and fake anti-imperialists attempting to dehumanize Ukrainians for Iraq War support. The Ukrainian government that sent troops to Iraq were pro-Russia. The Ukrainian government that helped the US in Iraq - Prime Minister and President - were on the side of Russia. Pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovych was the Prime Minister of Ukraine that got involved in Iraq. And the President was Leonid Kuchma. Leonid Kuchma supported the pro-Russia Party of Regions candidate Viktor Yanukovych in the 2004 election.
