lol that graph shows they are doing abysmally nothing for Ukraine, thank god for the USA. Spineless EU will fuck over all eastern european countries

For Americans : The US has given over 50 Billion in comparison to support the war the EU caused.

In comparison to EU's generous coats to the Ukranians theyve sent 60 billion to Russia thus far and about a trillion over the last decade

this really shows how out of the loop you are in this world. You really think the US lets foreign nationals work on critical tech?

That doesn't make him a US national.

I have citizenship for a country I've never been to, doesn't mean I'm a national from that country.

Not the fucking point!

My wife is from another country and got citizenship within 7 years, she's not suddenly the same national as me.

She works on military contracts.

also if you read the my first comment before you responded, the EU should be matching US's contribution at the least!

I don't disagree, but it's not simple when you are dependent on their energy.
