LOL complete and utter rubbish
Do you go to the pub and insist the wealthiest friend pay 60-70% of the tab every day every night for decades and then call him an azz when they say I don't want to do it that way anymore.

Good point, numbers matter when used correctly. From the article linked:
Quote:Global aid to Ukraine since 2022 has reached a staggering 400 billion euros committed as of December 2024, or about $430 billion, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. The group is trying to keep up with all of the commitments in its Ukraine Support Tracker, which keeps tabs on government-to-government transfers of military, financial and humanitarian aid into Ukraine. The Germany-based institute also tracks allocations, which it defines as aid earmarked and/or specified for delivery in the near term.
The majority of committed support by country has come from the United States, whose total aid commitment is valued at about $128 billion. The U.S. is followed by the United Kingdom and Germany for highest commitments overall. The European Union as a whole has committed approximately $124 billion in aid to Ukraine.
So, in the end the US is giving Ukraine more than the EU is as a whole. People shouldn't get blindsided by creative statistics. Good job Putnam6 for calling that out.
