Russia & Ukraine

Discussion in 'Politics' started by UsualName, Jan 18, 2022.

  1. As discussed, Poland and Finland are the only two countries that are not deadbeats.

    The windbag in that video rambles on about how some of the deadbeat countries are now close to paying 2%. Sorry but they are wayyyy behind the curve. That 2% goal was for peacetime but the continent is now at war and the United States may or may not wish to be their primary defender. Trump has given this message consistently over the years and Europe's attitude has always been "let's see how low we can go and what he will do about it." Not very smart.

    As I said, I exempt Finland and Poland from this. The only two adults in the room.

    It is not just the Europeans. Canada is a deadbeat too.

    Macron about giving nukes to new German chancellor

    Timestaped


    I don't know what you vatniks were planing out there, but what i know, is that this, - was not a part of your plans. You can even see in the media, how trolls are confused about what to write.

    Finland was riding gravy train being preferential russian economic partner in the west.
    then they decided they are extremely clever to join nato and become rusophobic cheerleders

    now Finland is in economic depression - their idea was being on russian border will bring huge money from Nato infrastructure and when Russia tamed they get even cheaper resources
    now they are in the dust

    Look in 2-3 years they will be first on their knees begging russia for forgiveness

    Problem, Germany if given nukes would never use them.
    Germany can never overcome its guilty disposition which it carries and which it can't ever shake off regarding the hollocaust.

    Here is my own contribution to the Frog's education: Since 2022, Canada has given more per capita to Ukraine's war effort than the USA has. In this regard, according to Wiki, Canada is the most generous of the G7 countries! Any comparison of how much various countries have provided to Ukraine is meaningless unless it is per capita or per GDP.
    from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...during_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War#European_Union
    [my additions in italics]

    European countries have provided €132 billion in aid (military, financial and humanitarian) as of December 2024, and the United States has provided €114 billion [118 billion USD] [5] Most of the US funding supports American industries who produce weapons and military equipment.[6] [ "most" = a little more than half. The rest is in the form of financial and humanitarian aid].

    Nearly every thing in the way of numbers coming from Trump's mouth is a gross exaggeration or outright lie. The U.S. is way down on the list of per capita contributors. The U.S. has not contributed "hundreds of billions", as Trump claims!

    U.S. contribution is ~34$ per capita, per year (or ~$2.75 per month per person) over the ten years since the war started with Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014. This is by no means an insignificant contribution; yet it is among the lower contribution rates of all countries contributing! Slightly more than half the total U.S. contribution of $118 billion has been military, some of it in the form of military equipment the U.S. is in the process of phasing out and replacing. Our contributions, to some extent, serve to save the cost of disposal, storage and mothballing obsolescent equipment. They also provide an additional taxpayer subsidy of our "defense" industry.

    Russia never invaded Crimea as Russian troops were always there since 1700s
