I've been saying this but now Zelensky is too and I think it's likely true, Europe simply isn't ready to support Ukraine on its own without America and won't be for years, not unless Europe massively steps up, enters a war economy-like mode and willingly takes huge hits to their own defence by sending Ukraine whatever they need, which they won't do.
And I don't get it, Europe's biggest enemy is Russia, it's the only enemy that threatens European countries, these countries should all be taking huge hits to their own defence readiness to supply Ukraine and defeat Russia in Ukraine, oh no, UK won't be able to defend itself, defend itself from what?! Who is threatening us other than Russia?! Same logic applies to Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc.
There is NO country that poses a risk to the collective might of Europe other than Russia, defeat them now or later.
China, Iran, and North Korea are helping Russia, every enemy of the United States but Republicans are so in love with Putin and his far-right ideology now that they don't care, they're actively helping Putin conquest Ukraine, they're complete scum. Aid to Ukraine is a drop in the ocean now, compared to what might happen if Russia conquers Ukraine and grows bolder and more confident.
This is a perfect way to weaken Russia without even getting involved militarily, a low risk, high reward strategy, the biggest threat of WW3 is not defeating Russia in Ukraine, it's if Russia succeeds in taking Ukraine, it's going to go exactly like Nazi Germany leading up to WW2. The US backing down and letting Russia win will embolden all similar fascists countries in feeling safe to go to war with another country and taking it.
Russia-Georgia will be next, Russia-Moldova will be next, China-Taiwan will be next, etc. And it'll be a powder keg waiting to explode all because Republicans love the bigoted agenda of Putin and hate Democrats. And a lot of the aid given to Ukraine stays in America FFS and is actually an economic stimulus to the idiotic red states against providing aid.
I think Macron is thinking ahead, if these MAGA idiots keep withholding aid then Europe may have to fight Russia one way or another, it's better to do it now via Ukraine, it's better to send troops into Ukraine in support roles than letting Ukraine lose, without American support, Europe may have to seriously consider sending troops into Ukraine's west like Macron has suggested if they want Ukraine to win.
