Well the most important thing the US supplies is intel.
The second most important item is patriot missiles. Not launchers, the ammo for them. Those things keep civilians and infrastructure intact.
Neither of those the rest of NATO can fully replace right now. Sure some intel can be shared, but not at the scale and speed the US can. And while others have sent good antiair systems to Ukraine, patriot is still the only system that can reliably hit certain threats.
So yeah, the scale of US support for Ukraine may be overrated when comparing raw numbers, but it is still vital.
I think it's more the other way around with JD Vance's and Trump's comments making it seem like Europe has not helped as much as they did. It's their megalomania that is pissing people off. That whole "have you thanked us once?!" bit was very off-putting. It's the equivalent of the olden times' "Kiss my ring" bit.
ETA: Forgot to add the important part: I hate wrong data or data that is misrepresented. So, I absolutely agree with your comments!
Europe is 44 countries. America is one. Devide all those numbers by 44. Not just that let's look at funds sent. It's not even close to competition. This post is a joke
"Not every country is pro-Ukraine" also "pro-Russia" countries‼️ Bro this is why Trump administration does not want to step in!! The European Union needs to sort this out themselves, either they unite to stop Russia or they don't! If the EU is divided themselves, then the possibility of the US stepping in and then inciting a WWIII is huge!!! Y'all got problems that y'all need to handle!
