The point is comparing a bunch of countries to a bunch of states. You can slice it however you want, the US is an entity and EU/Europe sure is one as well.
You can spin it that way, but in reality it's very comparable to mini-countries under shared law.
The EU, while not completely the same, is close to a governing body for it's members as well.
You only want to portray the US as one country because it makes it look oh so amazing compared to say 30 other countries in Europe. That's just playing on semantics. US aid comes from a joint source, EU aid comes as a joint effort as well.
That’s the thing. The US is ONE country…not 30. The fact they have to combine 30 countries to compare to one is hilarious. No matter how YOU try and spin it, they are not in-fact comparable. The US “military” aid comes from the US and its states just like each “military” aid from each country comes from their regions/provinces. You just tried to justify idiocy with your idiocy and it was extremely comical.
Approximately 43% of Americans have lived in multiple states during their lifetime, while 57% have not lived outside their current state.
Most people I know have lived in multiple states… and have gone back & forth. We will move for work, or to be near family, or move just for a change of scenery or a different climate. It’s super common for people to retire & move to Florida or another state where the cost of living is less. 64% of people living in Florida were born somewhere else.
