| Ryuu96 said: America is #16 in terms of support as a % of GDP which puts them below...
Europe as a whole has sent more aid than United States and that's not to mention the millions of war migrants we have to take in. The only countries I would refuse to criticise would be Poland, The Baltics and The Nordics. America and Western Europe both share blame, both could do a lot more. |
That list doesn't even take the EU budget into account which is obviously all money which also came from the EU countries. That's like 50 billion more on top of what every single country did. So even without refugee costs, pretty much every European country spent more compared to their GDP as USA did.
Europe obviously still missed to invest more in their military the last decades but yeah, all this "Europe needs to do more to catch up with Ukraine help" from Trump when Europe already does more is annoying...
It also doesn't help to argue about this now. Yes, many European countries didn't invest enough in their military but the war is now and we have to check which country can do what now. Everything else is something which needs to get better in the future.
USA also misses to invest more to fight natural disasters like the fire around LA now but it would be ridiculous from Canada to tell USA "we don't help you because you could have done more"
