Subject: Re: We stand with Ukraine!
Are you surprised? Evidently you are? The USA is much larger than any single European nation, more people, bigger economy. As a percentage of GDP, Europe (pick almost any country...Poland...France...Germany...) is contributing far more than the USA.

I didn't say we're not larger - we are.

If that's the standard where is China and India's contribution?

We're too big? Too strong?

Wait - they have government health care. Not us. They've got "higher minimum wage" - not us. They don't have John Wayne gun culture. They have affordable college for all.

So how come they aren't 20 times the power we are even if they pool their resources?

anyhow.....

So let's say those sorry ass little nations need to combine to be something. Enter the EU. Why doesn't; the EU just double its contributions to make up our paltry little sum --and tell us they've got this?


Funny, America is lectured not to be arrogant. Not to be Ugly. Not to be bully. We can't say "you're with us, or you're with the terrorists". We can't say "Axis of Evil" yet now......Zelensky doesn't have to say thanks at that meeting. He doesn't have to just be quiet and sign the deal. He can lecture us on what we're gonna feel - but we can't lecture the Europeans on such.


I wonder if those who pretend to like "Democracy!" will take into account feelings of people who dont genuflect to Europe? Even if you don't agree- in a "democracy!" sometimes dont you have to compromise?
