Why do you feel this is relevant?
> (...) and there is 0 chance that - if roles were reversed and another European nation had been attacked - that they'd have supported this theoretical victim.
I'm also not sure what leads you to believe this is relevant at all.
Ukraine is surrounded by NATO members. If NATO is not enough to counter a threat, things would be far bleaker for Ukraine as well.
What point do you think you're making?

- ffsm8 2y agoThe point is simply that European nations are currently gifting a lot of tax payer money to Ukraine to support the Ukrainians to keep their independence. There would've been countless ways to mitigate the risks of the invasion, they choose not to and now even badmouth the nations literally gifting them money. This is at a level of homeowners not insuring their homes and then complain that the state took a while to rebuild their homes free of charge.
