#Edit 2: 14.35 trillion spent on defence between 2000-2022 and the U.S. mustered up 0 jets and 31 abrams and is doing as a % of gdp less than CANADA and you guys are actually defending that shit and downvoting lmao
#If the U.S./Germany/UK/France actually did as much as Sweden or Denmark this war would’ve been over ages ago
How is a nation with a 25.44 trillion gdp and an 800 billion dollar per year defence budget doing similar size packages to fucking sweden.
Edit: Keep downvoting me until the U.S. reach the same amount of aid sent as sweden when looking at % of gdp, actually no do Denmark so when the U.S. get to 530 billion you guys can stop. But dont worry tho 11 aircraft carriers, 0 jets and 31 abrams to Ukraine because the 11 aircraft carriers need the money
