In a tense game of chicken, remarkable for its mix of petulance and audacity, congressional Republicans are threatening to halt U.S. aid to Ukraineāguaranteeing a Russian breakthrough and possible victory in that warāunless Democrats help pass a bill that all but locks down Americaās Southern border.
If the impasse isnāt resolved by the end of next week, when Congress goes on recess until the new year, the Ukrainian army could run out of ammunition. President Joe Biden could resupply the arsenal from U.S. stockpiles without legislative approval, but the move would be temporary, and the signal sentāthat Ukraine, and by implication other allies, can no longer count on U.S. support in a pinchācould be a holiday cork-popper for Russian President Vladimir Putin and all of our other adversaries.
Where is EU with their funding? Surely the threat of having a neighboring nation would sway into helping more right? Right?
The EU is sending a lot of support to Ukraine, but theyāre not the military bullies we are.
The eu do not have the huge stockpiles of weapons and ammo that the US have. While they have promised aid for ukraine. That often needs to be built in factories first.
Whataboutist says what?
So its up to the US now to do fucking everything right. Thats the implication
The EU (and itās member states) have sent almost double the amount of funding the US has.

Looks like they gotta suck it up and send more then dont they.
Yep, we will, because it is in our interest. It is also in the USās interest, but unfortunately some are too short sighted to see this.
