    The US has provided as much military aid as all other countries combined… read my comments and you’ll see I want more aid sent to them, but to act like this is both on our hands when Europe and other allies around the world and in NATO aren’t picking up the slack is insane and stupid. US funding allowed Ukraine to get this far, and I want to see them win back their land and negotiate peace again for the region, but this is NOT a USA issue of supplying by a long shot.

      As with all aid, it is more fair to look at it as a percentage of GDP. In that way, the US has not given a hell of a ot more than other countries. But, the point is really a perception and reality issue. Without US aid Ukraine will surely fall and the US will be blamed by those countries Putin invades next. All of the US, not just Republicans.
