You think Germany and France are invested in defending Ukraine when the US isn’t doing the heavy lifting?
- nickserv 2y agoThe US hasn't been doing the heavy lifting. It's been Europe. They were doing the bare minimum under Biden, and are now actively helping Putin.

- ModernMech 2y agoFunding Ukraine is not the "heavy lifting". The heavy lifting is when Putin invades Finland after taking Ukraine, and Germany and France are forced to respond militarily against a Russia aligned with the US.
- ponector 2y agoHeavy lifting like sending 31 tanks while putin had 10000?
- smcin 2y agoWho absorbed 5 million Ukrainian refugees? Europe, not the US. (Even Canada took more). And there could be millions more yet depending on the ceasefire/settlement arrangement. Who paid € billions more in energy costs since 2022? Europe, not the US.
