Okay, I agreed with the previous person but this is a pretty silly argument. Besides the Germans most of Europe has sent a massive amount of military aid even if they can’t match the quantities the US can provide. The Baltic countries have literally sent like a third of their annual military budget, Denmark is sending almost their entire self propelled artillery park, Norway has sent one quarter of their winter uniforms a fifth of their anti-air systems, Poland and Slovakia have sent huge sections of their armored vehicle parks, including almost all the old Soviet stuff, and the British in addition to sending tanks, artillery and missile systems are training thousands of Ukrainian soldiers on their soil. Even the French are chipping in (even if it seems they do it mostly to do better than the Germans and to keep up with the British). Finland is about to send tanks too, despite not being in NATO. You can see the full list here. In total Europe has contributed well over $100 billion in aid so far, and it is Europe which has committed to funding the brunt of reconstruction after the war, not the US.

Now, now, we wouldn’t want any $400k/year editors going down with the ship when you can just fire the $36k/year journalist instead.

It’s ‘Bama, the answer to the question "why?" is always either "to rub the nose of those Northern carpetbaggers" or "listen, it’s necessary to make sure… certain segments don’t get uppity or immoral." Sometimes both.

Who fears nuclear power in the 21st century? German environmentalists are wilding, seems they are trapped in the Chernobyl era.
