The US is roughly 350 million people.

The EU is a hundred million larger.

But unlike the US, EU did not twist Ukriane's artms to give away its weapons (icluding nukes), thus disarming it before the invasion.

The U.K. was involved in that deal.

The UK continues to supply Ukraine with weapons and are considering sending peace keeping troops to Ukraine

I’m not criticizing the U.K. whatsoever. Just wanted to more factually present what occurred in this agreement. The US has been the piñata to punch on, but a lot of that involves only semi-truths, like the post above. The US and U.K. have already met the terms of the de-nuclearization agreement.

The truth is that the US is #1 in military spending on Ukraine and the U.K. is number 3. Both commendable. But European Reddit seems objectionable to the truth.
