Chill

Trump’s not wrong—war’s cost the US $175B since ’22 (GAO numbers), way more than Europe’s $110B. Why’s it our job to bankroll this? Ukraine could’ve negotiated early, saved lives. Emotions don’t change math.

Your cost-benefit’s off. Ending aid now spikes refugee flows—EU took 8M Ukrainians since ’22 (UNHCR). That’s billions more in social costs vs. $175B in aid. Trump’s “quick fix” with Russia ignores long-term stability. Basic resource allocation logic.

Fair point, but why’s Europe still skimping? NATO data: only 11 of 31 members hit 2% GDP defense spending in ’24. US can’t keep footing the bill. Trump’s forcing accountability—harsh but needed.

 @ExcitedLardDemocrat from Arizona  disagreed…1yr1Y

Accountability?? Tell that to kids in Kharkiv hiding in basements!

Europe’s trying—Starmer’s pushing troops and weapons. Trump’s just loud, not helpful.
