- President Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the US didn’t send it more aid.
- House Republicans have been stalling on a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine.
- “It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that his country “will lose the war” against Russia if Congress does not act to send it more aid, Agence France-Presse reported.
“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” he said, per AFP.
For months, House Republicans have stalled on a bill containing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, stipulating that it should also include increased funding for security at the US southern border.
Europe CANT do more. They don’t have the military strength due to perpetual underfunding. It’s precisely what every US President since Bill Clinton has been bitching about. The wolf is at the door and they’re every bit as unprepared as has been claimed for the last 30 years.
We’ve relied too heavily on NATO and the US and it’s biting is in the ass right now. A European army would be great in this exact kind of situation. But then everyone in Europe will be “but muh sovereignty”, like Europe didn’t do in 50 years what people tried to do for centuries, which is preventing us from killing each other.
Europe has a long term problem with it’s reliance on the US that I haven’t heard discussed. The demographics of the United States are shifting away from people of European background due to immigration from South America and Asia. Over the next 50ish years support from the US will not be a given because so many of the people simply won’t have the cultural ties.
Why would masses of people whose backgrounds are from Venezuela, Vietnam, Sudan, or Mexico want to send billions of dollars of military aid, or enter a war, on the European continent?
Who is “we” in this context?
Europe has a huge army they are just not using it befause Russia has nukes.
Every European country has its own army but there are no central command center, just a few countries are cooperating with each other but that’s about it I believe. And with Brexit, only France is nuclear capable now.
There is, and the EU has participated in over a dozen conflicts under its own flag. There is no standing army, but there are EU Battlegroups.
Yup, we have mostly tried to befriend Russia, even after they took the Crimea. Hell, there are right wing parties who’d love to buy russian gas again even now.
The American GOP is basically 100% pro Russia these days. Which is very concerning.
