Ukraine to Allies: Please Give us One Per Cent of Your GDP to Fight Russia
Oliver JJ Lane 9 May 2023
One per cent of Western Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a worthy sacrifice to defeat Russia and is dwarfed by what America spent to beat Nazi Germany, says a Ukraine spokesman.
Ukraine very much appreciates the near-$37 billion the United States is already giving in military aid but more — much more, in fact — is needed, a Ukrainian diplomat now working as a full-time procurer of military equipment has said.
Andrij Melnyk, who is becoming well known beyond the borders of Ukraine for his persistent campaigning to push the envelope on military donations to Ukraine and being one of the loudest voices demanding larger numbers of tanks, Western jets, and even warships, made the comments on a German television political show this week, where he said Western nations had to cross their own “red lines” to send more equipment. The former ambassador to Germany, now Ukrainian government minister, said “this will not be an easy undertaking, but a Herculean task”.

Ukraine has NEVER been an allies of the USA. NEVER!
Why then are we as a nation injecting ourselves into their conflict? Total waste of treasury.
It is a fine example of the USA taxpayer feeding the military industrial complex, plain and simple.
We have troops on the ground in Ukraine. Did you know that? I assume they are all special operators. You want your son dying in this conflict? I sure as hell don't. You and I know it will end up like Vietnam, where we gradually up the numbers of USA forces on the ground. I see this as one more betrayal of the American people.
