Euro taxpayer. Europe has provided much more financial aid to Ukraine than the US.

US has provided more (or more expensive, nominally) military equipment.

No, it's been the focus of the Wagner Group, which has done all the fighting there. And, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have been thrown into the meat grinder as a result.

Once the Ukrainian invaders are cleared from Bakhmat, Ukraine is finished in Donetsk and Donbass. The people there can finally be free from the neo-Nazi and Ukrainian nationalist bastards that targeted them and murdered them for eight years. Praise God.

Explain to us how that isn't a win for Russia, though.

WTF are you babbling about. That is a LIE. We've sent more money to Ukraine than all European nations combined.

There is no Ukrainian economy worth speaking of. Everyone in the Ukraine is living off of the American taxpayer slaves.

And what are you talking about? Your own link shows that the EU alone has provided more financial aid than the US, never mind all the bilateral aid on top of that.

As my abuelita would say - “estas tocando el violon”...

Government support to Ukraine: Type of assistance, € billion:Much of Europe's humanitarian aid to Ukraine is through institutions, not governments. The sum total of institutional humanitarian aid exceeds the total of government contributions.

Government support to Ukraine: By donor country GDP, incl. and excl. EU share: In terms of percent GDP, Estonia has given the most at 1.1% of its GDP. For what nations have given, that has heavily degraded Russia's military at low cost. The countries who know they are next on Putin's list of dominoes, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, have all given a higher proportion of their economy to aid Ukraine than other countries. Estonia has contributed 1/3 of its annual military budget to Ukraine.

In terms of military aid, the US leads. In terms of all forms of humanitarian aid, Europe leads.

The prototype for the Ukrainian shakedown system...

The original version of "Little Shop of Horrors" came out in 1956 and there have been two remakes, the most recent in 2018. A little NY flower shop somehow ends up with a man-eating plant and the little schmuck Seymour (think US taxpayers) has to feed it....
